Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Texas

As we were moving via military, we stopped in to my hometown to see family. We wanted to be private especially with all our personal belongings. It met all expectations, so clean and GPS brings you right there.

This place is beyond special. The Perch is not just a stay – it’s an experience. Set on the edge of the cliff with jaw-dropping views of Terlingua and Big Bend, it feels like stepping into a sci-fi desert dream designed by an architect with soul. The blend of brutalist materials, smart off-grid systems, and serene design makes this one of the most memorable places we’ve ever stayed. Everything was thoughtfully curated – from the indoor/outdoor bathhouse to the insanely cozy great room, to the sunsets from the deck that felt straight out of a movie..! The kitchen had everything we needed, the bed was a cloud, and the silence .. a rare kind of peace. The road in is an adventure (yes, 4x4 really is a must), but it’s 100% worth it. If you’re even considering booking this place: stop thinking. Just do it. You’ll never forget it. 🌵🔥🪐

Beautiful, stress free and a little slice of heaven. Free of noise and all peace and quiet. Barely any light pollution at night, you can see the Milky Way and millions of other stars. Wildlife was amazing and definitely what you would expect in Hill County. If you want a central Texas feel this it. We’ll be back for sure!

We appreciated the proximity to the airport as our flight arrived just past midnight. The place was a good size for our family of 4 (myself, husband, and our 2 teens).

We had an amazing time at this beautiful lake house. The view was absolutely stunning, and the peaceful surroundings made it the perfect escape from the city. The house was clean, cozy, and well-equipped with everything we needed. We especially enjoyed the mornings on the deck with coffee and the evenings by the fire pit. The host was responsive and very kind. Just one thing to keep in mind—there are quite a few mosquitoes, especially in the evening,

We really enjoyed our time at your lake house. The ducks, turtles, grey heron and egrets were fun to watch. Very peaceful and private place. Nice touches such as flowers in the house, breakfast, a welcome gift and a dog toy for my fur babies. Yard was great all fenced. Very convenient to restaurants. Thank you for letting us share your wonderful home.

Dyane is very communicative and the place was better than expected. If I ever go there again I would stay there.

We greatly enjoyed the Blue Vista Lake House! We had extra guests come to town for my son’s graduation, and this was the perfect spot! I wouldn't even mind having a staycation here!! We had a small brunch gathering after graduation, and everyone loved the location. We couldn't have been happier!! Angie was super communicative and accommodating.

We had a great weekend at the Corn Dog House. Gwen was an excellent host. I felt I had all the necessary information. The house was adorable and so fun to be in. Thanks for the stay!

Overnight stay with my daughter as we journeyed home to South Carolina. We had a wonderful night’s rest in super comfortable beds (daughter took the sofa bed and said it was very comfortable!). The neighborhood location is beautiful and peaceful. Outdoor bistro table comfortable for enjoying an evening or morning beverage. Quick drive to shopping and restaurants. Highly recommend!

Great clean space in a quiet neighborhood. Bamboo bed and pillows were very comfy. I opted to take uber's to get about as it was a short stay. Would recommend having a vehicle to get around.

I had a wonderful stay at Hung-Jen's place! The apartment was spotless and exactly as described in the listing. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and I appreciated the thoughtful touches like fresh towels, coffee and a well-stocked kitchen. The location was perfect—just a short walk to the Riverwalk and close to several great restaurants. Hung-Jen was very responsive and provided clear instructions for check-in and check-out, making the process simple.

Very welcoming!! Had a great quick weekend stay! Even had fresh baked cookies for us on our arrival which is always a nice touch in my opinion!!

Very nice air bnb, clean and has everything you need! Would def stay here again.

Beautiful little apartment with an amazing view! And such a great location, only a couple minutes drive to the convention center and restaurants. And The hosts were so helpful and quick to respond to questions, I would definitely recommend saying here.

Had such an amazing stay, Annie’s place was so relaxing and a nice place to crash after a long day of school. I can’t wait to be back! Annie left clear instructions on how to find the place and provided us with great recommendations of coffee spots and restaurants to visit while in town!

Truly wonderful experience! Such an incredible view, the sound of the water from the balcony, the peacefulness, all with the proximity to a clean swimming pool, tennis court, volleyball court, entrance to the lake, major stores like HEB, Kroger, Walmart, Target, and other eateries, etc, make it the perfect stay-cation location. We came here to celebrate high school graduation with a small close group of friends and it did not disappoint. Hosts provided board games, Netflix and Disney to Stream included, spices and condiments in fridge, tea and coffee, shampoo and soap, everything we needed but forgot to pack! Water pressure is excellent, AC in condo is also very efficient at keeping place cool in Texas summer! Parking is right in front of the door to the condo. Hosts provided maps to everything we needed, including the parking lot. Hosts also very quick to respond to any question we had and proactive in keeping us posted when storm briefly knocked power out in the area. LOVED!

Tami and Kyle were wonderful hosts, in every capacity! Beautiful condo in a quiet and secluded area, and only about a 2 block walk down to an excellent beach! They thought of every amenity and convenience you might ever need from beach toys, and a wagon, to bbq utensils, beach towels, spices, etc. so glad we had the opportunity to stay here and we would gladly do so again! Highly recommend!

We absolutely loved our stay. The vibe was perfect for our trip. The home was clean and comfortable. Everything was curated perfectly. We will absolutely recommend.

Enjoyed my stay at Wendy’s place. The property matched the pictures and provided a good balcony view to catch the sunrise and sunset.

Our stay was absolutely perfect. The host was responsive and so kind. The location, the pool and the view made our trip even better. Can’t wait to visit again!

My wife and I picked this spot for our 26th anniversary and it was everything and more, a beautiful place. Alvin and Julie are proactive hosts and provided details on every step along the way. From driving to parking in the garage to accessing the house. We loved how peaceful the property was, even booked a couples massage on the property. One other thing to mention was the amount of deer we saw, from a few miles out to the property itself. Thanks so much for the hospitality Alvin and Julie, will see you soon in the near future.

I booked this room for a couple days stay while I visited the cancer hospital. The room was exactly as described with the most amazing view. We actually had the best view of the ocean that we’ve ever had during a stay. Everything you could need for a true vacation was there just as described. Cheryle messaged and check on us and when I messaged her she responded immediately. The only thing disappointing is that I didn’t have more days off to stay and enjoy this longer. Will do my best to try to stay here again.

This place was a gem! There’s deer on morning and evening walks, waterfalls, peaceful and beautiful views and loved the pool! Zach was a great host. The coffee maker got clogged so he had a new one delivered to the door within hours. Great place- would stay again!
