Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Howard County

This house is exactly as pictured!! Franco was an amazing host. He was very responsive. I did not request the grill so the propane tank was empty so make sure to let him know if you need it! Other than that, this home was beautiful. I would definitely stay here again!! I highly recommend.

Bright and airy, the open floorplan and natural light from the windows camouflage the fact that this is a walkout basement apartment. Bright ceiling lights mean that you never really feel like you're below ground. The quiet neighborhood with street parking opposite the house is convenient to both Catonsville and Ellicott City for small town charm, as well as to more populated areas with a wide range of restaurant offerings. Super easy and laidback hosts. I'm a potter, so I appreciated the handmade mugs and other pottery on display. We had a lovely and relaxing stay.

What a pleasure it was to stay at this property. We needed some time away during a kitchen remodel and this location was perfect for us. Our two dogs were also included in the stay. The home is spacious, very well maintained with upgraded amenities including kitchen appliances, televsion channels, wifi and streaming. The home is well stocked with basic necessities like dishes, cookware, condiments, etc. No need to run out for that one thing you forgot! There are even games. The beds are amazingly comfortable and the linens clean and crisp. The property is large with plenty of room to move around inside and outside of the house. There is an outdoor deck that is great for looking at the night sky. It's an older neighborhood so there are not any sidewalks. But the neighborhood is very quiet with little traffic. Any cars were respectful of speed markers (25 mph) and so we felt very comfortable walking our dogs. Our thanks to Chris and team for making this whole process easy and enjoyable.

Wonderful place, tucked back off the main street with privacy. Clean and loaded with amenities. Games, extra bedding, a pack n play, this was perfect for my family of 8 adults and 2 littles ( 1 & 3) Well stocked kitchen even had spices! Plenty of towels and the host provided shampoo and soap. Beds were comfortable, and we loved the sofa - all 10 of us fit to watch a movie! Huge outside deck - we had a pizza party outside and a fire for smore's in the lovely fire pit. We walked to downtown several times. The shops are all so different we found lots of treasures. My grandson's loved the bookstore. We also visited the firehouse creamery 3X for delicious ice cream. We had dinner a fabulous dinner one night at Becks. We got our morning coffee from the French twist. All short easy walks from the farmhouse. We spend a day at the Baltimore zoo only 35 minutes aways. This is a perfect place and location for a large family . We loved it :) highly recommended!

This place was miraculous beautiful and peaceful. The beds were so comfortable. The bathrooms were so cleaned. The kitchen was beautiful and clean. The outside was so peaceful we seen an owl and some Deers. Such an awesome wonderful place highly highly recommend it

We had a fantastic stay. Sam and Shamim (the hosts) were exceptionally kind and hospitable, making us feel right at home. The space was spotless, beautifully maintained, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable visit. What truly sets this place apart is its strategic location: just minutes from some of Baltimore’s best attractions, dining, and culture. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommended!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5-Star Stay That Felt Like Home After a house fire left us displaced, we stayed here for 8 months—and it truly felt like home. The accommodations were exceptional: clean, well-stocked, and perfect for long-term living. But what truly sets this experience apart are the owners. Their kindness, generosity, and attentiveness turned a stressful, uncertain chapter of our lives into something unexpectedly beautiful. One unforgettable moment was receiving a surprise Christmas basket from them during the holidays—an act of kindness that brought our family to tears and reminded us of the goodness in people. We didn't just rent a home—we were cared for like family. If you're looking for a stay where you'll be treated with compassion, respect, and genuine hospitality, look no further. We’ll always be grateful for this home and the amazing people behind it.

Melaku’s place is very neat and clean. The place felt like home. Melaku is very responsive to any doubt. I stayed at this place with my parents who had travelled internationally for vacation here in the States. This is their first Airbnb experience. They absolutely loved it. Snacks and coffee added a great touch to our stay. Kitchen is well equipped. The neighborhood is peaceful.

Great stay in a wonderful studio apartment. Very clean, super friendly and communicative host. Great neighborhood and I definitely will book again!

The AirBnB was a wonderful surprise, I didn’t expect it to be so grand!!! It was beautiful, spacious and stocked with every modern convenience you can think of. The host was professional and sweet. She thought of the little things that I didn’t expect, and mastered all the major things. It was a carefree stay. The place was immaculate with high end furniture, theatre grade tv, and beautiful art. I was highly motivated to leave it as beautiful and spotless as I found it. 10 out of 10! Whenever I am in Baltimore, I hope no one else has a reservation because that is my place. Did I mention that it is closed to highways, grocery stores and eatery? This place is a gem!

This was a very clean and fabulous location. We were pleasantly surprised at how well appointed it was. Would choose again for our next visit!

Let me start off by saying that my Husband and I had an absolutely AMAZING time staying at Hussain's place! From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectation. The communication with Hussain was always smooth and prompt, making the booking process hassle-free. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted and were given a tour of the property. The space was immaculately clean and beautifully decorated, providing a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. The amenities provided were top-notch, ensuring that we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect, with a Starbucks, Smoothie King, Nail Spa, and Organic food store, all nearby. In the neighborhood, there were several hiking trails. We enjoyed exploring the area and found plenty of great dining options nearby. Overall, our experience was nothing short of amazing. We cannot recommend Hussain and his property highly enough. Thank you for such a memorable stay—we will definitely be back!

Had an amazing stay at this beautiful place! Charlene was the most wonderful host, going above and beyond to greet us and answer any questions we had during our stay. She provided plenty of recommendations for things to do in the area, with many restaurants and a lake conveniently nearby. I recommended this place to all of my friends and I am already looking forward to staying here again in the future!

Was the perfect price, place and proximity to our events. We felt safe and right at home. We’ll be back next year and hope that it will be available.

Great value for your money. You won’t regret this choice

Ray was friendly and responsive and his place was perfect for what we were looking for! Thanks Ray!

Just as described. Quiet place. Close to everything and great host

We were in town for Maryland Deathfest. The place was located within walking distance of everything we needed.

Tucked in the heart of Bethesda with a quiet charm that somehow still feels central to everything, this stay was a gem. Getting around was a breeze—whether by foot, metro, or last-minute snack run to the 24/7 CVS or 7-Eleven. The apartment itself? Immaculate. Fully stocked with everything we could possibly need—and then some. The internet didn’t blink, the TV was streaming-ready (a blessing for our nightly Netflix ritual), and we barely had to buy a thing beyond food. Rodrigo was the kind of host you wish all hosts were—attentive, responsive, and refreshingly clear with every detail. Winston, the building manager, was also incredibly kind and helpful. Bonus points for the cozy terrace, which turned into our favorite nighttime hangout spot. All in all, one of the most exceptional Airbnbs I’ve ever stayed in. Would come back in a heartbeat—no hesitation, no second thoughts, just pure comfort.

Jordan and his place were both amazing. As avid gamers ourselves, this was a walk down memory lane. All linens and kitchen ware were available. You can cast your apps on the Google TVs, which is a huge bonus. There are tons of food places within 5 minutes walking distance and we were able to to walk to the CFG Bank Arena for a show with in 15-20 min. Saves on parking or Uber/Lyft costs. Jordan is extremely responsive and even recommended local eats. They were delicious. Thanm you so much, Jordan. It was a delight having you as a host.

It was a delightful and cozy place to stay at especially with lots of things to do all around. We would recommend staying there for the vibes and local stores all around especially if you don’t want to rent a car. There’s lots of food places like heavenly wings is 10/10 recommend if you want wings.

Love this clean calm space-the balcony was wonderful. Mark was super responsive, checked in on us and we had everything we needed-especially in the kitchen. Great location for walking to restaurants and stores. Will definitely stay again!

Great apartment! Sean’s apartment is very comfortable and tastefully decorated. It is completely quiet at night and the bed is good. There is a good vibe in the neighbourhood and the apartment is less than five minutes from a Green Line metro station that will take you directly to the best art museums in the city. Sean and his co-hosts are very helpful and responsive. I hope to come back to Washington one day and if that happens, I will definitely try to book Sean’s apartment again. Thank you Sean, Megan and Loren for all your helpfulness and a lovely stay!

Great location, close to transportation and dining options. Place is very quaint. Uncomplicated entry and exit. Neighborhood walkable and friendly. I would consider staying again.
