With spring in full swing, now is the perfect time to start securing your travel plans for the rest of the year. When coordinating trips to the United States and beyond, I always start with accommodations: Do I want to stay in a hotel or rental? How close (or how close) should I be to a major city? And what amenities are on my must-have list? I tend to lean more toward rentals than hotels so I can enjoy the comforts associated with home, from a well-equipped kitchen to a private pool that I can enjoy at any time. SO VrboThe recently released list of the best vacation homes of the year is a go-to guide when choosing the best rentals – and destinations – to have on my radar.
From a desert oasis in Sedona, Arizona, to an oceanside paradise in St. John, there's no shortage of places to explore in 2024. And we're not just talking about warm-weather getaways. You can just as easily head to Big Sky, Montana, for a lavish ski trip, or to Glen Ellen, California, for a hip, DIY vacation.
And about the amenities mentioned earlier: infinity pools, private saunas, steam rooms, outdoor bathtubs, mini-golf courses, sunken jacuzzis, art studios and movie theaters are just some of the luxuries you can indulge in in these destinations. Whether you're looking for a weekend in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, or a month in Austin, Texas, keep scrolling for the best places to travel this year, according to Vrbo.
