As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.
The water is my happy place, so when the weather warms up, I’m itching to go spend some time at the beach (or a lake, or a river…I’m not picky about the specifics!). If you’re anything like me, you’ll adore these seven waterfront Airbnbs in Texas. They’re cozy and charming, yet feature a plethora of top-notch amenities that will make you never want to leave – plus the obvious perk of being just steps away from a beautiful body of water.
1. Lakefront Home w/ Pool, Hot Tub, Outdoor Kitchen, Dock (Granbury)
This gorgeous lakefront home sleeps 12 guests in four bedrooms. Not only does the property feature almost an entire acre of lake frontage, but it also boasts a backyard oasis with a pool, hot tub, private dock, and outdoor kitchen.
This 4-bed, 3-bath beach house offers direct beach access and unobstructed views of the Gulf of Mexico. When you aren't soaking up the sun, you can enjoy a plethora of indoor amenities such as a fully-stocked kitchen, foosball table, board games, and more. I don't live far from Crystal Beach, so this property is definitely going on my summer bucket list.
3. A Close Getaway - Entire House on a Private Lake (Montgomery)
This cozy cottage is perfect for escaping the real world and enjoying some blissful solitude. It sleeps four people and offers a private lake (pedal boat and fishing gear included), complimentary breakfast, and it's even dog-friendly!
Tucked away along the Blanco River, Salvation Cabin is an old fishing cabin restored to its former glory. Rustic and charming, this award-winning sleeps four and features central A/C, a gas grill, fast Wi-Fi, and tubes and kayaks for floating the river. There are also nearby swimming holes if the river is dry!

5. Beautiful Waterfront Condo on Lake Conroe (Willis)
There isn't a bad seat in the house at this lovely condo situated on the beautiful Lake Conroe. Sleeping up to six guests in two bedrooms, this newly remodeled oasis offers a balcony that extends out over the water, and large windows in the living room offer unparalleled views. Plus, guests can enjoy a restaurant, swimming pool, tennis court, basketball court, marina, bike and boat rentals, a playground, and a dinner cruise boat within walking distance of the condo.
6. Couples Paradise on an Island Retreat (Lago Vista)
You'll feel like you've taken a trip to Italy when you stay in this romantic villa in Lago Vista. The casita sleeps two and boasts incredible views of the water, both from the private patio and the bedroom. The kitchen has everything you need to feel at home, and on-site amenities include a spa, pool, sauna, and tennis and pickleball courts.
This newly renovated treehouse is located on the south shore of Lake Travis and sleeps up to four guests. When you aren't cooking meals in the fully equipped kitchen or sitting out on the wraparound deck, you'll find a shared pool, hot tub, BBQ area, and marina all within walking distance. Can we just talk about how cool this hot tub setup is?
