Family-friendly vacation rentals in Dallas Downtown Historic District

Great location, check in was super easy with very detailed instructions. Underground parking was only $10 per night which was also convenient.

Donna's house is a perfect relaxing home away from home. All the comfort, ease, and convenience of home in an incredibly zen well designed house with a beautiful pool in a convenient location to shopping and entertainment. Donna is very responsive and will make sure your stay is perfect! I plan on staying here again.

Beautiful house, plenty of space, hot tub was a blessing after a long drive, and host was quick to respond to questions and concerns. Neighborhood was quiet and peaceful would definitely recommend to anyone!

Great stay!

Great experience! Very responsive and helpful hosts. Thank you!

The place was super cozy, and the location was awesome. It was almost a 5-star stay, but there were a few things that could’ve been better. First, the neighbors could see into the hot tub area, so if you’re looking for total privacy, you might be a bit disappointed. Second, the bathtub plug didn’t work, so if you or your partner want to take a bath, you’ll have to get creative and find a way to make it work. And third, I’ve never had to pay a non-refundable deposit or a $900 refundable deposit, which is a bit of a bummer. Other than those three things, it’s a really nice place to stay. If none of those issues bother you, then it’s definitely a 5-star stay!

Overall, we had a great stay. Very minor issues! It's still five stars.

Very nice place to stay

Grady was very helpful and friendly. He makes a mean cappuccino. Don’t skip out on that. The place was very clean and comfy. We will definitely return when we are in the area again.

PERFECT stay! So much to do within walking distance! Wonderful communication! Will be back!

Blake was a great host! We would definitely stay here again.

Lisa's place was perfect! Safe, cozy, quiet, and clean. I had every thing that I needed, even oatmeal and yogurt for breakfast. The neighborhood is very safe for walking and I even had the opportunity to stroll with the dogs. Lisa is an excellent communicator and checked in often to make sure I was happy and had everything I needed. She is a wonderful host and I will be back!

Our stay at Teresa's was great. She is a terrific host and the place was as good or better than the description. The space is a great value and Teresa keeps the place stocked with more than expected snacks and sundries. The bed is comfortable and the whole space feels like a space you could live in. Both the bathroom and kitchen are on the smaller side but super useful and all appliances, sinks, and the shower worked very well. The only negative I can think of wasn't really a negative for us but, if you are a very light sleeper, the proximity to a very busy street could awaken you early (especially on a weekday). Wasn't a problem for us and would not prevent us from staying here again. Highly recommend this spot for all (except the very lightest of sleepers).

Loved staying here. Perfect little bungalow for my business trip. Just off of Lovers Lane for quick access to where I needed to be. No issues with checkin or checkout. Clean as could be. Will stay here again! Highly recommend.

This place is super cute and clean! We stayed for the weekend and the place had everything we needed. It is nice to have somewhere with no adjoining walls as noise was never an issue and the block is quiet as well. The owners were friendly with clear instructions. Thanks again for the safe and clean place to stay in what I think is such a great area in Dallas!

Such a lovely studio space in a safe and quiet neighborhood! Jeff was an amazing host!

Epic location walking distance to all kinds of food, fun and shopping. Beautiful space and would so stay there again!

Great for me . Easy. Great spot. I felt at home. Wish I lived there!!

What a lovely surprise entering the apartment complex’s courtyard! You feel like you’ve entered a magical lush garden. Water sculptures and hidden away outdoor seating plus a small elegant pool are just some of the outdoor amenities. The unit we reserved was downstairs and easy to access through the keypad into the courtyard and then another keypad into the unit. The unit had 2 bedrooms with super comfortable beds and luxurious bedding. There’s a full bath and a half back (sink & toilet). The living area is spacious and couch comfortable. The fridge was very nice and cold with ice maker. The kitchen was clean and functional for short term stays. We were there a month so needed more variety cooking pans. The one large TV in the living room and the internet work great. The one thing I would mention is if anyone has trouble with walking on uneven ground it may be an issue because the pathway to the unit is ucobblestone bricks and uneven. The other plus is easy and plenty of parking!

Great stay, great communication, nice and clean.

We are sadly the 2ndto last to stay (Dallas just outlawed air BnBs). It is a perfect location, like PERFECT. Street side parking, super safe area. The beds and linens are terrific (pool towels! Fluffy towels for the bathroom too), and the living areas are extremely comfortable (I could lie on leather sofa ALL DAY LONG). AC was fantastic - essential for Dallas heat. Yes, there are “drawbacks” other reviews mentioned: cobwebs on the chandelier, fridge needs cleaning, the master bath is janky (hard to close shower door, you hit your knee on the jacuzzi when on toilet), some amenities are lacking (need obvious places/places that aren’t on the floor to plug in phones etc), and the outside/pool are less than pristine (dried leaves/branches are a fire hazard, small pond is a mosquito haven, yes a vine is growing into the house, and bottom of pool needs a scrubbing). BUT!! The “old Hollywood glamour” (as Bruce calls) feel of the place is decadent and tangible. We adored it. Thanks Bruce!!

Wonderful host and location. Home was better than advertised! If 10 stars existed as a rating this home, host, location and extras would deserve each one!

We stayed at Melissa’s place under unique circumstances and were incredibly happy with our stay. The home was perfect for our extended trip while we waited for our daughter to be born and for her first week before heading home. She made our time in Dallas feel like home, was great to communicate with, and is just a fun considerate person. The home is beautiful, and the pool was a wonderful spot to cool off in August. The neighborhood is quiet but close to restaurants in the Bishop Arts District but also close to downtown Dallas. Last thing - When we arrived ‘home’ with our new baby, the porch was decked out with ‘It’s a Girl’ balloons and decorations! Never expected a host to be so thoughtful!
