About this property

The Mod Poppy | *Large* Home 10 minutes from it all

Summary:
Mid-Mod, Texas Style – You, your family (including your dog) and your friends can enjoy this spacious five-bedroom, three-bathroom, 1950’s single-story, ranch-style house.

STR License # STR0000395-04-2023

The Space:
Things are bigger in Texas – You will truly have space to spread out and enjoy a good night’s rest with 3 bedrooms having king-sized beds and the remaining 2 rooms having queen-sized beds. For your comfort, all beds have the highly rated Casper mattresses. There are three full bathrooms so everyone will have easy access. All rooms have a desk so you have your own space to get some work or reading done if needed.

More than just wall art – Throughout the house you will see original paintings and photography. We are excited to be partnering with the Kieran-Sistrunk Fine Art Gallery in Waco to feature and offer for sale several local artists’ work. Not only does this provide a unique environment for the house, but it connects you to some of the creatives in our community.

The Neighborhood:
Location matters – You will be 10 minutes or less from the major attractions Waco has to offer: Baylor University, McLane Stadium, Magnolia Market, Silo District, Downtown District, Cameron Park & Zoo, Brazos River, Dr. Pepper Museum, Texas Ranger Hall of Fame & Museum, and another Texas icon – an HEB plus! grocery store. You are walking distance from bike rentals, eateries, a brewery, and the Brazos River. The Waco Riverwalk has over seven miles of paved and lighted paths along the shores with water toys available to rent. You are also across the street from Wilbert Austin Sr. Park with its covered playground, basketball courts, etc.

Interaction with Guests:
We live in the area and are accessible by phone if you need anything!

The place is a great place for a long get-together; enjoy the large backyard, grill, and fire pit. The indoor has a lot of board games and is near many attractions like the zoo, Brazos River, and Mongolian market.

Excellent House with lots of room!

We really enjoyed our stay at The Mod Poppy! There was tons of room for our family of six adults and three children. I really appreciated all the little extras, like toiletries, games, etc. that were included.

Beautiful home

We rented this house for a family reunion, and it's a beautiful home. The rooms are large and comfortable. The living area is spacious, and the kitchen is great for cooking for a crowd. The backyard is fully fenced-in and is great for outdoor games.

Fun 2-day trip

This house was really great! Very spacious and neatly decorated. They even had a Christmas tree and other decorations up! The house is well stocked with necessary items. The house alarm and locked gate to put the cars inside made us feel safe and secure. Overall, very pleased with our stay here!

Mad pippy

The neighborhood while convenient to everything is a run down neighborhood. Did not feel safe to walk around. Night time on weekends was busy with car traffic and party noise. The floor plan was ideal for our 7 nomen (one handicap) bedrooms separated. Beds and furniture were comfortable. There were minor issues lighting plumbing appliance related. All addressed timely when possible but not completely. The overall renovations were good.

Plenty of room!

Came to a Waco for a family wedding. 4 adult couples, 1 teen and 2 kiddos. Plenty of beds, plenty of bathrooms. Secure parking for 4 vehicles. The neighborhood is older but at no time did we feel unsafe. Would absolutely stay here again!

Spring Break Family Trip

The house is great! 5 bedrooms/3 bathrooms - perfect for 7 adults and 5 children. It was so nice to have a big back yard for the kids to go outside and play. Loved the fire pit and seating around it. 3 vehicles fit nicely behind the locked fenced in backyard and because of it's L shaped yard - the kids had plenty of room to play. I definitely recommend this home.

Geat house for a arge group

This house was great for our party of 9. It has 5 bathrooms and 3 baths so we were able to sleep comfortably and move around the house without being on top of each other. Location is terrific with regards to getting to Baylor campus and Magnolia hot spots. Neghborhood is a bit sketchy but on the rise and the fenced in driveway made us feel very safe. Nice park, literally across the street for the kiddos. I highly recommend this property and hope it is available next time we travel to Waco!

Great Waco Getaway

This is an incredible property located in an increasingly revitalized East Waco. The host’s attention to detail and the awesome amount of space makes this an ideal spot for a family or group. We were a little concerned about the neighborhood but had no issues. The large parking area inside the locked gate kept everything safe and secure. The large backyard has awesome amenities for outdoor fun. The house is completely stocked with everything you might need for your stay. The communication of the host and ease of check in/check out made the whole experience first rate.

Baylor graduation

It was a beautiful property with everything we needed. The property allowed our extended family a place to visit and celebrate our daughter’s graduation. Baylor was only 5 min away. Location was a little sketchy as it was across the corner from a park that had a strong policy presence with multiple officers talking with young men in our yard. We always felt safe, never took advantage of parking our vehicles behind gate. I would use this property again and would recommend to anyone.

Few issues but a good time.

Check in/out -easy Things we noticed: The interior doors were sticking, scrapping the floor and difficult to open and close especially the front bathroom and the back bedroom doors. Low to moderate water pressure in back bath sink and the bath (sink) by the kitchen. Condensation in air conditioning unit in running into the pan. Should probably have it checked. A couple of soft spots in the floor near the end of the island in the kitchen. Biting insects in the back yard around the chairs. Could be fleas, tiny spiders or ants. Should probably need to spray. Things I mentioned before ice maker not working, missing remote for fan/light in bedroom by kitchen, batteries for alarm system and intermittent internet. Would like to know where you got the ceiling lights/fans in the bedrooms. The were awesome. Read the instructions about leaving but we are in the habit of leaving sheets & towels in the laundry room, washing dishes and carrying out trash. All of this because we are all mid 60’s and older. Mostly older. Have a blessed day and we loved the house.

Awesome home

Great home for a large family. Plenty of places to sleep and the back yard was fun. Property manager made check in really easy. We have rented lots of homes for business and vacations and this home by far was the most supplied. Everything extra you can think of was supplied.....toilet paper, paper towels, soap, shampoo, lotion, coffee, filtered water, blow dryers and even extra trash bags. We really appreciate the little things when traveling out of state. Thank you again for a great stay.
