Although you must walk through the beer garden to get to the door, we had an awesome stay. There was a live band on Friday night that was so much fun to sit and listen to on our private balcony. The beds were comfortable. We felt very safe. The front door parking spot was the best. I highly recommend. ##### Carol P. Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### AMBER M.

They had someone trying to fix it when we got there, but they left and still did not work. In front of one of the bedrooms/kitchen there was a leak coming out of the AC creating a large orange stain. I let the owner know about both issues, no communication. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ead1d868-d671-4752-b5b6-fec7c20cfb43-1749234256309.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jessica Y.

We looked for an attractive, affordable, and safe location near all the hotspots in Abilene. Our family found everything we wanted at the Baby Grand Bungalow. The decor is thoughtful and unique with all the necessities. We loved the piano, furnishings, separate spaces, and having our very own vacation spot. We also had good communication with the hosts.Any issues were minor and indicative of a new rental. The biggest thing to be aware of is that the bedding is memory foam and on the hard side.The location is in the heart of the SoDA District and within walking distance of the museums, gardens, and dining, but still in a relaxed part of town. Stay cozy inside or join the nightlife just outside the door. ##### Rachel P. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Bridget C. Jul 10, 2025 Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy We had an unfortunate experience with this booking. Problems with 2 AC units, broken lamps and a non working fan made our stay unnecessarily uncomfortable. The record player could’ve been cool but…also broken. The worst part, however, was the complete lack of communication with property management. We sent multiple messages about the AC units in the living room and master bedroom AND called the owner, “Paige”. She didn’t answer the call so we left a voicemail that also went unanswered. This is not acceptable and we will not stay here again nor would we recommend this vrbo to anyone else. ##### Bridget C. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### shari g.
