Luxury Midtown Home w/ Private Heated Pool
We had fun at Jeffrey’s house! It was a very nice condo and very close to downtown. The pool was also very nice and relaxing.

Urban Modern Retreat with Pool!
Mindy was more than you would expect for a host. She addressed all are concerns . We really had none. The place was clean lots of room and everything you needed for your stay was there. I was not expecting such things as shampoo conditioner bath soap laundry soap and so. Everthing was top notch. I will stay again when i go back. Thanks mindy.

Private Retreat w/ Pool, Patio, BBQ! 6BR 3BA Gem
The house was just as pictured! Only thing happened was and unfamiliar guy came to the house twice on two separate days that freaked us out.. but the house it self was great! And we wish we knew about the outside house too because we we’ve booked that part as well

Gorgeous home in North Houston
We had a wonderful stay in this home in Houston. Be was very responsive and helpful and made us feel welcome. There were a couple of times we needed to reach out to her and she was responsive and helpful. Overall, everything you need to know is on Airbnb. The home was as described and exceeded expectations we had from the listing. The kitchen is super well appointed - stocked with starter supplies needed for those who need coffee first thing in the morning. The bedrooms very comfortable. The bathrooms all renovated with modern fixtures. The place we loved the most was the outdoor area. Many doors out to the backyard, beautiful pool, several seating areas, all very quiet and peaceful. The neighborhood was quiet and felt safe. Within a few miles, were a lot of restaurants and retail outlets. We would definitely stay again and recommend to anyone looking for this kind of home.

Huge 6 Bedroom with Heated Pool, 85" TV, Game Room
The home was in a quiet neighborhood and also had great amenities to enjoy. AJ was very responsive and helpful when it came to using the pool as well.

Gorgeous Home W/Heated POOL/SPA & Fun GAME ROOM!
Amazing Hosts and very Hospitable. Walked in to a beautiful note and fresh chocolate chip cookies. The home was immaculate. Response time was never a problem if I had any questions. 💯💯💯all the way around. Definitely will be returning in the future and if anyone is looking for a quiet and relaxing place to stay while in Houston definitely recommend staying here.

Lovely New Home | Modern & Simplicity
I had a fantastic stay! The place was exactly as pictured—beautiful, clean, and well-maintained. It was clear that the hosts take great care in making sure everything is perfect for their guests. They were incredibly friendly and responsive, making the entire experience even better. I highly recommend this place and would definitely stay here again!

Place worked perfectly for our stay in Houston. Nice quiet neighborhood and plenty of space. Parking was perfect as well. Clean and nice home with nice patios in the backyard.

Houston Heights AirBNB Bungalow*KingSuite*FencdYrd
Wow, where do we even start? This home in The Heights was EVERYTHING we could have hoped for and more! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by how cozy, inviting, and full of character this place was. Every quirky decor piece told a story, making it feel like we were staying somewhere truly special rather than just another rental. It was spotless, well-maintained, and had such a warm, welcoming energy. One of the biggest highlights? The backyard and patio! We spent so much time out there just unwinding with drinks, soaking in the peaceful atmosphere—it was the perfect little escape. And the location? Unbeatable for foodies! The Heights is such a charming and historic area, and we loved how easy it was to stroll to some of Houston’s best restaurants. But what truly made this stay exceptional was the amazing host. We had a last-minute change of plans for the event we were attending, and they were beyond accommodating, super responsive, and just a pleasure!

Classy Houston Heights 3 Bedroom Cottage
Very convenient for downtown activities. It took us less than 15 minutes to get to any of our venues we were going to. The coffee shop on the next block had great coffee and breakfast and an easy walk to get to. We also were able to enjoy the park a little bit. The house is very cute and comfortable. I didnt realize Houston Ave. was such a busy street but with the fencing and gate it did not bother us. I will definitely stay here again.

Haven Retreat! Hobby, NRG, U of H, No clean fee
No complaints or issues with that house.

1976HoustonGem Luminous PvTPool & HotTub 20 min DT
My wife and our three kids stayed here. The place is very spacious which makes it comfortable for a family of five or more. The pool and jacuzzi were both clean and clear of debris. My kids took full advantage of the pool. The host was very accommodating we were short on bath towels and once I notified her about the issue she was able to have us some there within an hour. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Little Blue House on Lonnie Lane
It was a very nice home , we felt very much at home and we were literally close to everything nothing was too far. We will most definitely be back to stay with them😊

Entire residential home away from home. 3 bed/2ba.
You will not find a better host than Gwen!! Awesome communication, very polite and accommodating. Her and her husband Sam went above and beyond for us when the tornado hit and we lost power for multiple days. They brought us a generator and bought a small ac unit for us to have. When we unexpectedly had to leave a month before our reservation was up, Gwen helped square everything away with the changes of dates and payments for us. The home is bigger than the pictures show!! Nice quiet neighborhood, spacious living room area, and perfect yard for our 2 dogs!! - even a doggy door for them. The house had everything we needed to enjoy our stay comfortably: cleaning supplies, toilet paper, paper towels, laundry detergent, pots and pans, silverware, plates, etc. We stayed here for 6 weeks and it was fabulous! Can not recommend enough :)

Cozy home
Our stay at Belal's place was absolutely wonderful! The location was perfect, and the house was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed. Belal was a fantastic host, very responsive, and made sure we had a comfortable stay. We would definitely recommend Belal's place to anyone visiting the area and would love to stay here again in the future

10 min to Downtown | Large Backyard | King Bed
The Milliard Airbnb was an absolutely beautiful and clean home. From the moment we walked in, it was clear that the space was well-maintained and thoughtfully decorated. The home’s aesthetic was modern and welcoming, creating a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. The location was another major plus. It was ideally situated, just a short distance from downtown, making it easy to explore. We were able to enjoy the city while also having a peaceful and quiet place to retreat to after a busy day.

Large cozy newly renovated home near NRG, Med Ctr
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving in Houston, Thanks to Mr. Hung and his Beautiful House, he was an amazing host, he answered all our questions and made our stay super easy. His House is fully stocked and very clean. The house is close to shopping center and restaurants making it the perfect location to stay. When we visit Houston again we will definitely stay in this Beautiful, clean, updated house again. Thank You Mr. Hung!!!

Premium Resort- styled Heated Pool & Game Room
My family and I traveled from Florida to Houston. We stayed at Hannah's place and it was NICE! From the start of communications booking the property until the time I checked out the host responded very rapidly. She addressed any questions or concerns. The home was spacious and very kid friendly. Board games, Smart TV's, Pool area that can be heated if purchased, balcony, and game rooms. Each room helped us feel at home and kept the kiddos occupied while we were in the home. This location is located near many restaurants and everyone's favorite store Walmart!! We traveled approx. 20 minutes to main locations like attractions or the mall. Book this property, you, friends, or family will not be disappointed.

Stunning Modern Houston Home- NO access to lagoon
The home was stunning! The neighborhood was stunning. I felt very at peace staying there. The pictures doesn’t do the house any justice. Michael does great at communicating!

Lovely, Cozy 3 bedroom entire house
JJ place offers lots of space and the neighbor is quiet and peaceful. It's location was great for out time there being close to NRG Arena.

Gorgeous 3BR Pool/Cinema Home
It was most definitely a home away from home experience. The house was clean, inviting, peaceful and fully stocked. Irma is most definitely an exceptional host.
