Kansas City homes

Updated home close to Worlds of Fun & Ford
Had a great stay! The host was super nice and always quick to respond, really helpful throughout our visit. The place felt just like home, cozy and welcoming. We especially loved the little kitchen downstairs, it was perfect for my uncle and aunt, especially with their one-year-old. Made everything so much easier. Highly recommend! Would stay here again :)

Country Oasis- Near Worlds Of Fun
The house was amazing and so well decorated, we all felt at home right away. It had everything we needed and more. If we are ever in the area again we will definately stay here if it's available. Thank you for being such a wonderful host!!

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!

5 level home. Summer fun
very nice home, lots to do . we enjoyed it greatly

Cheerful 3 bedroom fully renovated cottage home
My family of seven stayed here for a little KC getaway and the place was perfect for us! Such a cute cottage with all that our family needed for our stay. My young kids absolutely loved staying in the unique upstairs space! The hosts were responsive to a couple of questions we had during our stay. There’s so much to do in this area and this house was perfect for us, so we hope to come back again!

~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.
We enjoyed our stay a lot! Close to downtown Kansas City, and many things to do nearby. The house was very clean and comfortable. We would stay here again next time we are in the area.

Urban Chic-Moving Trucks/Trailers /Boats friendly
EXCELLENT! We loved staying at Regi's place. Regi is a clear and responsive communicator, providing personalized recommendations for our stay and giving clear instructions to make check-in smooth. Our dogs LOVED the huge backyard! It was the perfect place to stay during a long road trip.
Kansas City condominiums

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.

The Nelson & Plaza Condo w/ free parking!
Neda was a fantastic host and was always quick to respond when I messaged. The condo was exactly as described and was the perfect location for a getaway in KC!!

Shawnee Condo < 10 Mi to Downtown Kansas City!
Good location and easy to find. On the third floor so if you are not able to use the stairs it might not be a good fit for you.

Historic, Industrial Flat in the Heart of KC
Jake’s place is an absolute gem- we fell in love with the exposed brick, plants, and in-floor lighting. The shower was AMAZING- huge, hot, deluge of water and steam. The kitchen was well-appointed with all the essentials, plus some Michelob Lights. We were impressed with the architecture of the historic building, and Jake said he had restored the interior himself- pulling horse-hair plaster off the walls! Also notable- I guess this is KC hospitality at its finest- Jake told us to leave the dishes, linens, etc, as they were- that he would take care of all of it. It was really nice to receive that level of service, which is unusual for my Airbnb experiences.

A Place Like Home
Jeffrey and Kim, Thank you for a lovely stay. We will be back again. We would highly recommend this rental.

LG Downtown Loft/2 King Beds/Overlooking Broadway
Savanna's place was wonderful! Plenty of room for 2 families of 4 to spread out. Beautifully decorated and we felt right at home. Savanna was prompt to respond and very accommodating. We definitely recommend her place if you are staying in the Excelsior Springs area.

Crossroads Luxe Loft (3000+ sq/ft)-PRIME location
We stayed here for 5 nights while in town for a conference and really enjoyed our stay. Great location and easy access to the KC street car. The home was spacious and had a very modern feel to it. Would absolutely stay here again!
Places to stay with pools in Kansas City

Near Downtown • Pool Opens 5/1 • Tiki Bar • Sauna
Was a last minute stay for us. Inside was really nice and really cool. We would stay again.

Cozy apartment, private entrance, gas fireplace
Such an amazing experience and stay with Russ and Kris! They were both SUPER sweet and welcoming and the place was cozy, clean, and was so easy to get to. Would recommend to anyone needing an Airbnb!

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

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.

Luxury in Lenexa w/heated pool
William's place was a wonderful house to come with my grandkids. they lived in the heated pool while we enjoyed the hot tub immensely. the beds are comfortable the kitchen well stocked there was plenty of space for 8 of us, we felt very much at home. William was so great with communication which I really appreciated. I can't say enough good things about both the house and the host. thank you so much for a great trip to Lenexa, can't wait to return.

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.

Kid-Friendly 4 Bedroom Home w/ Heated Private Pool
We visit KC twice a year to visit in-town family and with our own family size having grown in recent years, we need the extra space and quiet that hotels can't really provide. Lisa's home more than fit the criteria for space, spacious bedrooms, quiet neighborhood, etc. She was professional, responsive and timely in her communication and made the check-in and check-out straightforward. We will absolutely check her place's availability on our next planned visit.

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.
