Family-friendly vacation rentals in Downtown Houston

Thanks for a very comfortable stay @ your Airbnb. Would recommend it to anyone who visits Houston.The place is ideally located, within walking distance of the restaurants and shops. Having a Garage and laundry facility was super helpful . Trent is very responsive. We had a plumbing issue. Trent fixed it at the earliest. Thank you Trent for an enjoyable experience.

I enjoyed my stay here. Excellent communication!

Ms Lystra was a great host. Friendly and kind. She gave us a personal tour upon arrival which made us feel comfortable and welcomed. The place was very clean and spacious. We will definitely rebook again if we are ever in the Houston area. Thank you for an awesome stay Ms Lystra!

I can’t say enough about our stay and the hosts! They made a very special trip extraordinary!! The home is beautiful, safe, and a Shangri-La to me!! Placement of rooms are wonderful and afforded privacy with other guests. The saltwater pool was wonderful and with shade from trees made it very comfortable on hot, summer days! Communications with hosts felt personal and was much appreciated. This was my first VRBO / Airbnb experience and what a wonderful one it was!! Had to leave a day early due to the hurricane, yet again, the host expressed genuine concern for us. Very clean and comfortable! It was hard to leave!

When we needed a place to stay and work from home for 3 weeks while our floors were refinished and house shown/inspected, we were nervous about that long of a stay but Ella’s home was perfect - clean, comfortable, well appointed and well located. Close to everything, we enjoyed walking the cute Sunset Heights neighborhood. Ella is a wonderful and responsive host and we would definitely recommend her place!!

Wonderful home! Mark’s home is a great place to stay in the city. Extremely comfortable and spacious! The neighborhood is very quiet. It’s easy to get to and perfectly located. I really could move in permanently! The teens enjoyed having their own space as the home is very spacious. Mark is a wonderful host, very responsive and accommodating. Thanks Mark for your hospitality. We will definitely look to stay again soon.

I have stayed at several AirBnbs as I travel to Houston every 3 months. This one is my new favorite! I stayed here for 4 weeks and it was perfect! I wouldn't have changed a thing. The decor was lovely, good quality furniture, comfy bed with good quality bedding, good shower pressure with a nice soaker tub. The pool area is beautiful and was a nice place to relax. I'm from Michigan so being able to swim in October was wonderful lol. I love my home in Michigan, but I must admit I'm kinda going to miss this lovely apartment. This was one of the pricier places I've stayed at but it was worth it...I loved it!

Loved this historic bungalow in woodland heights, a neighborhood in Houston that has our heart. Tanners place was well appointed, clean, and matched the description! Tanner was proactive in his communication and responsive- no issues came up during our stay, it was easy to access the house and check in / check out.

Greatly enjoyed my stay! Great host and very responsive. Quick to act as well. Will definitely stay again the future.

This duplex is charming, spacious, and in a terrific neighborhood. Many award-winning restaurants are within walking distance, as is the world-class Menil Collection. I could not have found a better place for my dogs and me for two months.

Comfy place & great location- walkable to great restaurants & coffee shops and close to public transit to easily navigate downtown! Tyler is also exceptionally kind & accommodating - when I wasn’t sure how to receive an important document I needed for work he offered for me to mail it to his address and drop it off for me! Would definitely stay again

Host was very attentive throughout my stay. Space was clean and very spacious. Will definitely book again !

This was the perfect location for our wedding down the street. Jamie was a great host. Looking forward to using her home again

walking into this home felt like stepping into a hidden artist’s loft in tribeca or an elegant brownstone on the upper east side, effortlessly stylish, quietly luxurious, and full of soul. the photos barely do it justice. Maddie, the host, is pure class, gracious, thoughtful, the kind of person who makes hospitality feel like an art form. and the house, a perfect reflection of that warmth. every detail feels intentional, from the way the lighting sets the mood just right to the cozy, cloud-soft bed that makes mornings harder to leave. but the real star, the kitchen. fully stocked, down to the tiniest gadget you didn’t even know you needed. it’s not just a rental, it’s a second home, the kind that makes a city feel familiar, safe, and a little magical. if you’re coming to Houston, don’t think twice. stay here. stay comfortable. stay inspired. <3

We could not have asked for a better, more comfortable, or more welcoming visit at Fred's place. It's a perfect location and the house has everything that you could possibly need to have a wonderful stay. And they are excellent and very responsive hosts. We definitely hope to return!

The rental has everything you need for a short or long stay. Thoughtfully appointed with a comfortable bed and fun artwork. As a bonus it was a nice surprise to find goodies waiting for us in fridge plus a good selection of coffee for the Keurig. We would be happy to return!

It felt like a home away from home. The service was excellent, and they were very helpful.

Great stay, wonderful home. Clean and nice size. Private parking. Close to Memorial. Served me very well and the host was very flexible. Helped me out in tremendous ways. Would definitely stay here again.

Enjoyed a great stay at Phi's AirBb. Clean, peaceful and in a great location. The place had all the amenities I look for ....had to extend my booking a day and Phi made it easy. 5 Star host, 5 Star place...definitely recommend!!

Had a wonderful stay at the Phoenician. Alan was so helpful and accommodating. He responded immediately to any requests or questions I had and could not have been kinder. The apartment is in a very busy area called the Galleria-around the corner from all the best shops and restaurant with easy access to major thoroughfares. The apartment is small, clean and quiet. Thank you , Alan!

Great place to stay. I had booked a hotel for my weekend trip to Houston but when I got to it, it was in an area that didn’t feel safe. I was so stressed out about the situation because it was just me and my daughter traveling. Luckily we were able to book this place. I was looking for something safe. This place felt extremely safe and the check in process was easy. I also liked the location. Overall great stay, would stay here again.

Good location and clean, good communication, very quiet place to stay.

This was an amazing stay at an amazing apartment downtown and was very easy and relaxing. We definitely will be staying again
