Kansas City homes

Updated home close to Worlds of Fun & Ford
We LOVE staying at Jeans place for our long weekends in Kansas City, awesome to work with and very welcoming to us every time! Always our go to spot when in town.

Country Oasis- Near Worlds Of Fun
What a wonderful stay we had. The house is really great. Very clean and tidy. We enjoyed our stay so much. The beds and furniture were so comfy. The kitchen is spacious and user friendly. Felt like home. I would definitely suggest this vacation rental to everyone when they are in the KC area.

Charming, Stylish 3-bdrm house - Central location
Great place owned by the super host! Close to groceries/restaurant and quiet neighbourhood. Both Summer and Dustin respond quickly and are also very kind to accommodate our need. Highly recommended!

Cheerful 3 bedroom fully renovated cottage home
This is a great space and they accept pups to stay! We ended up not needing pup availability, but the house is perfect for your 4 legged companions. The space is clean, comfortable and peaceful. We greatly enjoyed our stay. The house updates were well done, the area is easy to get to the things we wanted, and it was quiet and comfortable. The beds are great, but they are a firm mattress, the bedding is comfortable and they have USB ports for charging in the bedroom and diningroom. Sweet! The host was quick to respond and had a simple check in and out! I will definitely look at this house again for a stay.

~Spacious Home in Family Friendly Neighborhood~
Need a quiet and cozy place to gather, relax and enjoy KC? Look no further. This well priced, beautiful home had us chatting late into the night and sleeping like a rock before heading out for a day in the city. Would stay again and highly recommend.

Mom's Place, it feels like home.
Very responsive host. Beautiful home inside and out with extra things to do inside the home with family (board games) and outside. Very nice location and very peaceful.

Urban Chic-Moving Trucks/Trailers /Boats friendly
An amazing host! Everything was nice and I love the space in the backyard.. will definitely get the property again.

Two bedroom home with beautiful pond view.
We had such a nice stay the last time we were here we were happy to come back. Brenda’s place is clean and relaxing to stay at. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen is spacious, and the sitting area is cozy, and the whole house is decorated in a charming style that makes you feel right at home. So grateful for a welcoming place and host, we hope to stay again!
Kansas City condominiums

Charming Suburban Condo
Omg, the place was amazing. Booked for my fiancé for out of home work purpose. The condo was very & modern. This condo came with everything you’ll need and more.

The perfect destination in Kansas City!
Melanie is a great host. Easy to communicate and always ready to help. She is awesome! The place is great for short and long term stays. It comes with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Location is good, easy access to main roads. Stores, markets and restaurants are near by. Neighborhood is safe, no concerns or issues. Assigned parking spot, washer/dryer, 2 floor unit with 2 bedrooms and 2 baths, and a patio to chill makes this place great. I enjoyed staying here and recommend to anyone looking for a place in KC.

The Nelson - Walkable to the Plaza!
The location is wonderful. You can see the Nelson Atkins museum grounds from the East-facing windows. Loved the TV in the bedroom too.

Boho/Farmhouse Style Condo Sleeps 7 + Free Parking
The condo was lovely! We were thankful for all the cozy blankets as the weather was chillier than we anticipated. The beds were comfy and the futons/pullout couch were sufficient. DoorDash & UberEats found the condo with no trouble at all. I recommend bringing an eye mask to sleep with if you are in the king room - the outside lights are really bright. Shing-Haw was always quick to respond. This condo was a great experience for our budget!

Historic, Industrial Flat in the Heart of KC
Great spot to stay at! It looked exactly like the pictures, and was centrally located. We’d stay there again!

A Place Like Home
The condo was clean and quiet! Thank you for sharing your place with us! We would definitely stay again.

LG Downtown Loft/2 King Beds/Overlooking Broadway
Our family (5 adults and a toddler) stayed at The Loft while attending a family wedding. We loved the location and the walkable area. There was so much going on in this cute town! Our favorite hangout was the huge window seat where we could look at the art deco Hall of Water and the people walking by!

Crossroads Luxe Loft (3000+ sq/ft)-PRIME location
Had some issues with a small water leak, but the host responded very quickly and helped resolve the issue. Overall great location, and lots of space for larger groups!
Places to stay with pools in Kansas City

Near Downtown • Pool Opens 5/1 • Tiki Bar • Sauna
We stayed here for a wedding that we had in Kansas City. The house was beautiful and Christina was very helpful if we had any questions!

Amazing House with Heated Pool & Rooftop Hot Tub!!
The place was beautiful. Pool and hot tub were amazing. The weather wasn’t great so we didn’t get to use them to their fullest extent. Beautiful landscaping outdoors and plenty of space for our family. Autumn was prompt and responsive to any questions we had. The kids had a great time and we would definitely stay here again.

Cozy apartment, private entrance, gas fireplace
Overall great stay and exactly what I was looking for. The space is exactly as pictured and reviews were spot on. Russ as a host was very responsive/communicative throughout the week. It was an easy location to get to everything I needed. Would stay again!

Country House Retreat btw KU & KC
Great place to stay! Convenient to Kansas City and Lawrence.

5 level home. Summer fun
Great place. We loved our stay

Cozy home, work/play, easy access to all things KC
We have stayed here before and it was as great as before. Location is great. There is a park across the street and restaurants close by. The road has little traffic. The bed is very comfy and the house is wonderfully functional and furnished.

The Nest Villa with Pool in Kansas City
We traveled to KC to visit my husband's family for a 3-night stay. We brought along our two adult children with their spouses and a 6-month old (6 adults/1 infant). The house was perfect for our needs with a portable bassinet provided. The house matched the description and photos; we felt right at home from the start. The kitchen was one of our favorite features; very clean and well stocked with dishes. The Keurig with complimentary coffee pods was a very nice touch and very appreciated. The house is in an older neighborhood, but we felt very comfortable and safe. The location itself was great and very convenient to all attractions on our list, including the airport. Willy was a delight to work with; always so quick to respond and very accomodating for our travel schedule. I just wish it had been summer so we could have enjoyed the beautiful backyard and pool. We would definitely choose to stay here again on future visits.

Relax at Berdie's Nest and Overlook
We stayed here as a large family group ranging in age from 7-84 and coming from various points in Missouri, Tennessee and NY to help Uncle Bill cross off his bucket list item of tailgating and seeing a Chiefs game at Arrowhead. For anyone needing a large gathering space in the KC area, this is it! Perfection! Plenty of space, bathrooms, gorgeous surroundings with so much to do, and the kindest hosts. Two of us stayed in the cabin which we loved. The grounds made for amazing family pictures. We left with treasured memories and talk of returning in summer to enjoy a longer stay and the pool. I think this is the best AirBnB experience we have ever had.

Your guide to Kansas City
All About Kansas City
Spanning the border between Kansas and Missouri, Kansas City is actually two cities — one on either side of the Missouri River. K.C.K., as the Kansas side is often called, is known for its barbecue and its sports, from baseball to brisket and from speedway to smoked sausages. Though smaller than its Missouri counterpart, which has three times the population, it boasts a buzzing nightlife and vibrant downtown, from the four-block Avenue of Murals to the strong Croatian history in Strawberry Hill. On the other side of the river, the National WWI Museum and Memorial offers a new perspective on the city from its 270-foot-tall Art Deco tower. And west of K.C.K., Wyandotte County Lake and Park offers acres of peaceful scenery for hiking, biking, and angling for catfish.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Kansas City
Kansas City sees all four seasons, with hot, sticky summers and cold, windy winters. You’ll experience the highest temperatures in July and August, so be sure to drink plenty of water, especially if you plan on spending a lot of time outside. If you time your visit right, you can join in the all-ages fun at the Wyandotte County Fair in mid-July, which has been in operation for more than 150 years. Fall brings temperate weather and the Renaissance Festival in nearby Bonner Springs, where you can watch knights jousting, shop for artisan-made goods, and enjoy a turkey leg and a glass of mead.
Winters are cold, and snow falls occasionally, so bundle up before you head out for the day, but the holidays are an excellent time to visit as the city celebrates in style with tree-lighting ceremonies and a Victorian-themed Christmas wonderland. As temperatures begin to warm up and flowers bloom in spring, celebrate the city’s diversity at the Wyandotte County Ethnic Festival, with traditional music and performances, food, and crafts from more than 50 countries.
Top things to do in Kansas City
Avenue of Murals
Along Minnesota Avenue in the heart of the downtown area, you’ll find a four-block stretch that plays host to eight incredible murals. The project was undertaken over the course of four years by high school students with the help of professional artists. The murals depict the legacy of African art and its influence on African American culture, the history of Hmong farmers and the Hmong peoples’ growing representation in Kansas, and a tribute to Mexican dance, among other works.
Barbecue
Famous for its barbecue fare, Kansas City is bursting with sizzling pits and grills serving up the city’s signature sweet and spicy sauce. From burnt ends to ribs, hickory smoke fills the air from Strawberry Hill to Kensington. Kansas City’s love of barbecue dates from the 1920s, when an enterprising resident began smoking ribs in an outdoor pit and selling them to his neighbors. The tradition involves masterful sauces, rubs, and grilling techniques, and you can tour the city’s many BBQ joints to find your favorite place to get Kansas City’s unofficial cuisine.
Wyandotte County Lake Park
Just a five-minute drive from downtown, this 1,500-acre park is an escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. There are more than eight miles of trails where you can hike, bike, or horseback ride, and the lake at the center of the park is perfect for kayaking or fishing, with plenty of places to stop for a picnic. Near the entrance of the park you’ll find a Korean-Vietnam War Memorial, which pays tribute to those who served in both wars.
