6 STR Opportunities ❄️ January 2, 2026

2929 8th Ave N, Texas City, TX 77590

Located in the heart of Texas City, 2929 8th Ave N is a prime Airbnb opportunity due to its recent top-to-bottom renovation, including a brand-new roof, windows, and A/C system that minimize immediate capital expenditures for an investor. The property’s four-bedroom configuration is a significant advantage in this market, allowing it to cater to larger families or groups visiting the nearby Galveston beaches while maintaining a more affordable price point than coastal listings. Its strategic location just minutes from I-45 provides seamless access for both Houston-based weekenders and the high volume of contractors working at the nearby petrochemical hubs like Marathon and Valero. The addition of new front and back patios, combined with fresh exterior paint and a privacy fence, creates the essential "curb appeal" and outdoor living space that drives high guest ratings and repeat bookings.

• Bedrooms: 4

• Bathrooms: 2

• Projected Revenue: $24,800

• Gross Yield: 10.7%

13950 Ketch St, Corpus Christi, TX 78418

Located on North Padre Island, 13950 Ketch St is an exceptional Airbnb investment because its four-bedroom, three-bathroom layout is specifically designed to capture the high-demand family and large-group traveler segment. Built in 2019, this modern property offers a "move-in ready" advantage with low-maintenance features like wood-look tile flooring and a fully rocked yard, ensuring lower turnover costs and higher durability for short-term rental use. The inclusion of a 30-amp RV hookup and a newly poured concrete pad provides a rare "X-factor" amenity that can attract a broader range of outdoor enthusiasts and long-term winter Texans. Situated just minutes from the beach, the home benefits from the island’s strong tourism pull, where similar high-capacity listings can command premium nightly rates during the peak summer months. Additionally, with the seller offering closing cost assistance and a home warranty, investors can enter the market with reduced upfront capital while securing protection for their initial operating year.
