Family-friendly vacation rentals in Manvel

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.

Just as described! Check in and parking were easy and convenient. Everything was great over all and the view was amazing. The pool area, hot tubs, lazy river were huge and definitely made this rental really fun. The indoor pool even came in handy when it got chill outside. For dinner we only drove about 5min down the road. My husband and I want to come alone one weekend just to enjoy everything by ourselves lol.

We enjoyed our stay at Nam's place. We were central to all of the attractions of the sea wall, yet her place was a peaceful retreat. Nam was responsive and ensured we had a smooth check-in.

This condo was exactly what we were looking for in a getaway spot. Can see the ocean from the balcony, and the king-sized bed was super comfy—a rarity at an Airbnb. 10/10 would/will stay here again. Thank you, Donna!

Great location right on the beach and away from the hustle and bustle.

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!!

A very last minute booking for my kids and I that worked out perfectly. This spot is a little away from the busier areas of Galveston and was perfect. There’s a cute coffee shop/bakery across the street and even a little convenience store that had everything we needed for our last minute stay.

The house was close to the beach and filled with historic artifacts and fascinating inventions. Tom is awesome and introduced us to the house and community. Helpful advice on local attractions and key sites to visit. Great value and experience to stay at Tom’s house. Note: Katy’s seafood was fabulous.

I've stayed here twice now. Tom & Rose are superhosts. If you need anything, they are very responsive. The suite is private and has everything you could need. The location is beautiful and quiet. This is more like staying at a private estate property. The landscape is beautiful and Tom is often outside working on grounds. The suite is always clean, neat and edited. I highly recommend staying here.

Wow! What an incredible place and an incredible host. We've stayed at over 30 Airbnbs and this is the only host that has gone this above and beyond - stocking the kitchen in anticipation of our Thanksgiving feast, a doggie basket with toys for our pups, a gorgeous pecan dessert and yummy pasta/sauce on the kitchen table, a zoom call to welcome us and to find out what else we needed (she ordered us more kitchen utensils & a fan from Target). The home feels like a home. Super clean, lots of character - high ceilings, lovely woodwork, lots of light, a sweet fully fenced in yard, and large comfy bedrooms. There are two bathrooms but everyone ends up using 1 upstairs as their main bathroom since it's the one with a shower - not an issue for us just FYI. The neighborhood is super walkable - so many gorgeous homes on every block. Easy to get to the Strand, beach and Broadway. Two thumbs way up for people with or without dogs! Simply amazing. Thanks Ana!

The location was beautiful, peaceful & relaxing. We have never used a roku TV before so I had to message Leigh Ann & Rocky. They responded quickly & were very helpful. They were also able to help me out with a kennel for my dog for a day. This was the 1st air bnb we have ever stayed at, and boy are we glad we did! Highly recommend this location. So nice to be able to hang out on a porch & let our dog play in the yard all day every day. Definitely beat being couped up in a hotel for a week.

We were in Houston for the weekend trip, and the stay at Desiree's place was fantastic. She was always responsive to our questions and provided clear instructions. We had two kids (toddler and baby) and amenities provided (travel crib, high chair, plastic plates, etc) we're also super helpful. The place was spacious and overall quiet, yet it was conveniently located to the area we were visiting. Great place for the family with kids.

Perfect place - was exactly as described. The host gave us very clear instructions and was responsive when we had questions. Would recommend to others and would stay here again if we come back to Galveston. We had 6 people and it was perfect size and comfortable

Great stay on all fronts! The house was very well equipped with everything we could have needed. The location was convenient to downtown, museums, runs along Buffalo Bayou, and good restaurants. We both needed to work and appreciated the large monitors. Thanks!

What a fabulous stay! I’d be thrilled to book this home every time I visit Houston. It was so lovely and full of character—and a perfect location. 10/10!

Great location right across from the beach so you can walk.

Donna was a great host, very communicative and her airbnb looked just the pictures. Super clean rental, lots of amenities and close by many restaurants and shops. Neighborhood is quiet, clean and inviting. I would definitely stay here again and recommend to anyone traveling to Houston

Kristina is an awesome host. We love working with them.

Perfect location for me, close to a nice golf course, the bay and the company I was visiting. The swimming pool was really excellent with a relaxing view of the bay.

Nice place to stay around the area, it’s peaceful and protected by a nearby police station. Kemah board walk is really close, recommend staying here for activity.

My stay at Cat’s apartment was fantastic! The space was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. It was peaceful and perfect for relaxing. Cat was an amazing host—responsive, welcoming, and thoughtful. I highly recommend this apartment and would love to stay again. Thank you, Cat!

This Airbnb was exactly what I needed. I stayed here with my friend for a month while I searched for a place to rent. The host, Mark, welcomed us to a clean, spacious, quiet apartment in a beautiful neighborhood. He was very attentive, respectful, professional and made us feel like home. Also, he was very understanding about my friend’s Chihuahua staying with us! We didn’t have any inconvenience of any kind (which usually happens on long-term stays). The instructions were very clear and easy to follow since the beginning. Check-in and out was super convenient and extra points for the keyless door! Mark and the complex neighbors are super chill and will make you feel safe. Glad I chose this location.

Scott is quick to communicate, which is awesome. We immediately fell in love with the resort the minute we walked into our room and saw how amazing and spacious it is! We were on the 5th floor, towards the end, so close to the beach. At night I could hear the waves crashing on my right & the infinity pool crashing on my left - I slept amazingly! I loved that we could walk downstairs and right onto the beach, everything was so amazing, I wanted to never leave. Another cool thing about this resort is that there are tons of games and things to do. Movies are available for rent, and there is a little marketplace you can grab snacks, wine, even ice cream! The room had everything we needed. I was hoping there would be some beach chairs to check out, but there weren't any. We bought a cheap $10 boogy board from WalMart and ended up taking it home (Southwest let us take it as a carry on!). I did see they had buckets & sand toys available to check out and that is awesome. The pool and the hot tub were amazing. One of the best little getaways I've had in the last couple years!
