They say everything’s bigger in Texas and that includes your next Texas vacation rental! With such a large state made up of so many different flavors and cultures, you can’t help but have a spicy, spacious, and all around boot stompin’ good time on your vacation rental! From the Palo Duro Canyon, the second largest canyon in the nation, to Caddo Lake, the only natural lake in the state, The Lone Star State has plenty of room for a Texas vacation rental that’s larger-than-life.
 
Book your Texas vacation rental in the Dallas/Forth Worth area and you’ll have two times the vacation rental opportunities. For an up close and personal history lesson, you can stop by Dealey Plaza in Dallas, where former President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963. You can even take a trip through the Sixth Floor Museum in the Texas School Book Depository. Or catch some sun on White Rock Lake, a great recreational area for boating, rowing, or riding bicycles. Fort Worth is "where the west begins" and is home to the Fort Worth stockyards to back up that claim. The Stockyards feature daily longhorn cattle drives, live reenactments, the Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame, and Billy Bob’s, the world’s biggest country music venue. Pull up one of the saddle-shaped barstools and try and imagine what it felt like to be an authentic cowboy back in the wild, Wild West.
 
Galveston, Corpus Christi, and South Padre Island are Texas’ best coastal vacation rental sites. Corpus Christi is home to the Texas State Aquarium, the Hans and Pat Suter Wildlife Refuge, and the USS Lexington. While you’re there, be sure and stop by King’s Ranch, one of the largest in the world. South Padre Island is a haven for sports enthusiasts, especially those who enjoy flying kites, windsurfing, kiteboarding, or surfing. And Galveston has the Schlitterbahn waterpark – for those who prefer their water a little less salty!
 
For a Texas vacation rental with the emphasis on Texas, be sure and stop by San Antonio. No visit to Texas is complete without a visit to the Alamo, a pivotal spot in the Spanish American war. Or head down south to Big Bend National Park. Nearby Terlingua, Texas is home to the International Chili Cook-off. While you’re in Terilingua, say hello to their mayor…a beer-drinking goat. Finally, stop by the state capital of Austin, internationally known for its lively music scene on Sixth Street and its growing South by Southwest music festival. And celebrate your fun Texas vacation rental with a bottle of Ziegen Bock, the Anheuser Busch Company makes this in their Houston brewery and it’s sold only in Texas.
 
So from the northern city of Lubbock, where you can visit the National Ranching Heritage Center, to the border city of El Paso, which started out as a lawless western boomtown, your Texas vacation rental can be as big, or as bigger as you want to make it.
