Houston sizzles in the summer. It’s not only high temperatures. The city’s humidity can make it feel even warmer. This can make outdoor activities a little uncomfortable. So, having a pool where you can kick back after a day of exploring will make your stay much more enjoyable. There are some superb city center hotels with outstanding Southern hospitality and amenities. Still, if you’d prefer the comfort of a vacation rental, there are some epic Airbnbs that not only have refreshing pools but also great backyards.

Epic Houston family Airbnb with pool, jacuzzi, and game room
The hosts of this Airbnb list the property as a “Palm Springs-style” bungalow. Situated in Houston Heights, the beautifully decorated house has two bedrooms, a pool, and an outdoor entertainment area. The location puts you close to the action downtown but with a quieter, residential feel. Although this is not a wild party house – it’s a family-friendly area – it’s set up for entertaining, with an outdoor dining area with string lights. There’s even a screen beside the pool, so you can watch movies at night while bobbing on your inflatable.

Beautiful guest house with backyard sanctuary
If you’re a solo traveler or are a couple, bookmark this charming Houston home. I think it’s one of the prettiest rentals I’ve come across. The backyard has a lovely layout with an outdoor table and chairs, rattan hanging egg chairs, lots of potted plants, and a modest-sized swimming pool. A lot of love has gone into this guesthouse. The interior has natural tones, wooden beamed ceilings, chic gold finishes, and soft textiles. It’s in Montrose, which is one of the city’s most LGBTQ+-friendly neighborhoods.
