With spring in full swing, now is the perfect time to start solidifying your travel plans for the rest of the year. When planning a trip to the US or any other country, I always start with where to stay. Should I stay in a hotel or a rental? How close (or far) from a major city do I want to be? And what are the must-have amenities? I tend to gravitate towards rentals over hotels, where I can enjoy all the comforts of home, from a fully equipped kitchen to a private pool to enjoy whenever I want. That’s why Vrbo’s recently released list of the best vacation homes of the year is my go-to guide for choosing the best rentals and destinations to look at.
From the desert oasis of Sedona, Arizona, to the seaside paradise of St. John, there’s no shortage of places to explore in 2024. And we’re not just talking warm-weather getaways: You could just as easily take a luxury ski getaway in Big Sky, Montana, or a trendy DIY vacation in Glen Ellen, California.
As for the amenities mentioned above, infinity pools, private saunas, steam rooms, outdoor bathtubs, mini golf courses, sunken jacuzzis, art studios, movie theaters, and more are just a few of the luxuries you can enjoy in these destinations. Whether you’re planning a weekend in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, or a month in Austin, Texas, scroll through Vrbo’s picks for the best travel destinations this year.
