Family-friendly vacation rentals in Texas City

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.

Super easy check in process, all the amenities and space was as described. Kitchen had all the things needed to cook meals at the house, and plenty of rooms and bedding for our 6 year old to try a different bed and bedroom every night! Easy access to the beach as well. Although not in Galveston proper, the ferry is both free and comes frequently and makes for a little fun adventure if excursions to Moody Gardens or other spots desired.

The photos of Doc's Quarters do NOT do this beautiful condo justice! Much prettier in person. Literally everything you need for a stress free stay. The views were stunning. And the Dawn property is very well maintained. We will absolutely stay here again next year and hopefully for many years to come. My family personally loved all the little notes around the condo. Thanks Yolanda!

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.

If you’re looking for a place in Houston that feels like a hidden gem, Kaivan House is it.

Every detail, from the immaculate cleanliness to the high-end finishes, speaks volumes about the level of attention and hospitality here. The location is fantastic, offering both privacy and quick access to Houston's best spots. Whether you’re in town for business, a family gathering, or just a relaxing getaway, Kaivan House makes you feel right at home or better. What really sets Kaivan House apart is the hospitality. The host goes above and beyond to make sure your stay is not just good, but truly unforgettable. Communication is seamless, check-in is a breeze, and any small need is anticipated before you even have to ask. In short: Kaivan House is a five-star experience

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.

This was by far the best place I've ever stayed in by the Texas coast. It can be difficult to find someplace affordable and not funky that allows pets. Tom's place is a gorgeous historic mansion in perfect condition, full of Tom's collections. We stayed in the upstairs (the downstairs has a permanent renter) with 2 beautiful balconies, a comfortable kitchen (though no toaster or way to toast bread in the oven), two stunning bedrooms with comfortable beds, a lovely living room and the rest of the house and stairs are full of Tom's collections of local and far away artifacts. When my car suddenly broke down - thank goodness it turned out to just need a new battery - I contacted Tom and he quickly responded, suggested a local mechanic and was always available for anything else. An extra bonus is the price is amazing and no extra doggie charge! Will definitely stay here again.

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.

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.

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!

Had a great time here, perfect walking distance from food, also enjoyed the pool. thank you so much Kerry.

Donna’s upstairs apartment was perfect for what we needed! She was incredibly friendly and the property is gorgeous.

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

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!

Our family enjoyed our weekend get-away to Philip's place. Location was very convenient to anywhere you wanted to go in Galveston. Place is exactly as the pictures portray. This was also one of the best stocked kitchens I've come across on AirBnB. Also having driveway parking was very helpful because there was something going on in the park next door on Saturday making street parking difficult to find.

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!
