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 minutes from Baylor University, these properties are proven performers with consistent demand from Baylor families, game-day visitors, and weekend travelers. Fully furnished, thoughtfully designed, and professionally operated, they offer immediate cash flow and streamlined management in one of Waco’s most desirable short-term rental corridors.
Known on Airbnb as “Simplicity,” this fully renovated cottage-style home offers the same charm and light-filled design as its sister property — with more space for larger groups. Featuring three spacious bedrooms, each with a private ensuite bath, plus a guest half bath, the layout is ideal for Baylor families, graduation weekends, and group stays.
The open-concept floor plan is bright and welcoming with durable luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout. The kitchen includes stainless steel appliances, a prep island for gathering, and tasteful décor that conveys with the sale — making this a true turnkey investment.
TWO COMMERCIAL-GRADE WASHER & DRYER UNITS support efficient turnover. A spacious back porch overlooks the large backyard with private parking accessed through a custom electric iron gate. Rainwater collection barrels add a sustainable touch.
Whether purchased individually or as part of the portfolio, Simplicity offers location, scale, and proven performance in the heart of Waco’s thriving STR market. **BUNDLE ALL THREE LISTINGS, 706, 708, & 714 S. 9TH FOR $1,200.000! (MLS # 21183608, 21183828, 21183942).
