The Best Airbnbs in Houston, Texas, With Pools and Backyard Facilities

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.
