Our Airbnb Waco Home

I get questions about our Airbnb Waco home almost weekly, so I am taking you on a tour today! Get ready; you are going to love it!

My dream for our Airbnb Waco home was to create a vacation home where our home feels like yours. I have poured my heart into this home and love everything about it.

A Bit About Our Airbnb Waco Home

Six years ago, I bought an old rundown home on half an acre in Waco, Texas. There was a shortage of places to stay in Waco, and I really wanted to design and manage my own “fixer-upper.” I wanted to create a beautiful and comfortable home for guests to stay in while visiting Waco.

Fortunately, the cost of the home was next to nothing, so I was able to create exactly what I wanted for our Airbnb.

Our Airbnb Waco rental is a one-hundred-year-old home with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. During the remodel, I opened up the living area, expanded the kitchen, added a wrap-around porch, and added a bedroom and master bath while remodeling every single inch of the home. Fortunately, I was able to use the original wood floors, wood ceilings, and shiplap. There are lots of “before” photos on my blog if you want to see what it used to look like.

I get asked all the time how to book our Airbnb Waco home. To do so, click on this link to book our WACO AIRBNB and follow the link to make a reservation. It’s that simple.

Our home has a large open concept with an adjoining living room, dining room, and kitchen. Ready for a tour? Let’s go!

I found the two queen beds online and filled the rest of the room with vintage items. Every single vintage item is from the Round Top flea market. I drove a 20′ truck to Round Top and filled it in two days! The two ballisters hanging above the beds are one of my favorite finds.

The hall bathroom has two areas. The back section has a shower and toilet, and the front room has a vanity and two mirrors.

The floors in the house are mostly original. Since we expanded the back of the home, I had to find flooring for the kitchen that would match. I can’t believe that I found floorboards that match perfectly! The horizontal boards show where we added the new (but old) flooring.

The shiplap is on two sides of the open living area. I love it! This is an older photo of our kitchen because I added some ceiling tiles to the back area of the stove, and I love them. You can see how I did this at How to Tile a Backsplash with Vintage Tiles.

The Exterior

We added a new roof and a wrap-around porch when we remodeled the home. The property has a huge oak tree, and the porch has a great view. The French doors open in the dining room open out to the wrap-around porch. One of my favorite things is to sit out on our porch and read a book. It is so relaxing.
