Luxe Penthouse: Downtown Magnolia/Baylor/McLane/Foster Pavilion

Warm and cozy. Clean. Close to everything! Will be back!" & "Absolutely lovely!! Well equipped, elegant, clean and peaceful! Already planning our return."

Sailor Bear has abundant sleeping space for six adults—a king bed in one bedroom, two double beds in the second bedroom, and a queen Murphy bed on the wall downstairs—as well as room for children in a twin bed with trundle tucked under the stairs. There is a reserved covered parking space and additional parking available.

Enjoy the spaciousness and the views. Almost 2000 square feet on two floors, a farmhouse dining table that seats 10, a fully stocked kitchen, and a large den with a 65-inch QLED Roku TV and Bose soundbar.

Girls Weekend Getaway
We are a group of 4 girlfriends celebrating a 50th birthday with a surprise trip to Waco. This condo exceeded our expectations in every way. We really appreciated having a designated parking spot and the check in process couldn't have been easier with key codes on both the exterior door of the building and the door to our condo. The condo itself had everything we needed for our weekend - plus a few extras you don't always find in hotels or other listings like full size toiletries in the showers, well appointed kitchen, complementary snacks, and a drawer full of fun games. There was also two luggage carts in the lobby that made getting our bags to and from the car in one trip a breeze. The location of the condo was excellent, we easily walked to the Silos area as well as several great restaurants and shops nearby. The only complaint we had (by no fault of the owner) is regarding the bar that shares a fence with the building. There was quite a bit of music and crowd noise between 8pm-2am on Friday and Saturday night. We were able to drown it out with white noise machines that we brought with us so if this is a concern to future guests, bring a noise machine. I will definitely stay here again if visiting the area. Such a gem! Thanks for opening your home to our group.
