Description
Rare opportunity to acquire one — or all three — of these highly successful, income-producing short-term rentals on S. 9th Street. Located within walking distance to Magnolia Market at the Silos and just minutes from Baylor University, these properties are proven performers with consistent demand from Baylor families, game-day visitors, and weekend travelers. Each home is fully furnished, thoughtfully designed, and professionally operated, offering investors immediate cash flow and operational continuity. Owning the full portfolio provides scale, streamlined management, and expanded booking flexibility in one of Waco’s most desirable short-term rental corridors.
Known on Airbnb as “Serenity,” this fully renovated (2021) cottage-style retreat blends charm with functionality and is a consistent guest favorite. Designed for maximum comfort and rental appeal, the home features two spacious bedrooms — each with its own private ensuite bath — plus an additional guest half bath, a rare and highly desirable layout for short-term guests. *
The open-concept floor plan is light, bright, and inviting, enhanced by durable luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout. The charming kitchen offers stainless steel appliances, a prep island perfect for gathering, and tasteful décor that conveys with the sale, making this a true turnkey investment ready to generate income from day one. TWO SETS OF COMMERCIAL-GRADE WASHER & DRYERs provide exceptional efficiency for high occupancy turnover. Step outside to a spacious, comfortable back porch overlooking a large backyard with private parking accessed through a custom electric iron gate — a premium amenity for downtown guests. Rainwater collection barrels add a thoughtful sustainability feature.

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMost of the staff seems like they are there to collect a check and checked out. You can tell which staff members are invested. Short staffed. UnorganizedWhat happened to the passion and psychology of teaching?Fights breaking out right in front of me and police just watching. No attempt to stop or step in.Drop off and pick up are a disaster with traffic, busses and kids crossing without paying attention.The staff literally looks burned out and over it.PARENTS NEED TO DO BETTER SO OUR EDUCATORS CAN CARE AND HELP YOUR CHILD WITH THE SKILLS THEY NEED .

1/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe campus is a Texas Title I Priority Schools Grant recipient which means it offers many academic and non-academic opportunities during 2014-2015, 2015-2016, and 2016-2017 school years. The campus is a "turn around" design campus which means a new and highly energized staff works to help every student find success. We consider ourselves to be a good school working to be a "great school." Prospective parents and community partners are encouraged to call and schedule a site visit with student ambassadors.
