Exploring luxury travel with HomeAway

In Luxury, Travel by Nicole Standley7 Comments

Big city, seaside oasis or European hideaway?

I’m not sure about you, but there is only one thing that keeps me from vacationing like Oprah. Last time I peeked, my checkbook seemed to be missing a few dozen zeros. But now Luxury Rentals from HomeAway has made the impossible possible and now I can jet set like the divine Ms. O to places I’ve only seen on the Travel Channel. Best part? It’s for a fraction of the cost of a traditional four-star resort. Through a carefully-curated collection of the world’s most luxurious rental properties, my family and I can bask in extravagant hotel-type accommodations while still feeling that private and intimate home-sweet-home vibe.

Comfortable, not cozy

Traveling families need space and comfort, not tiny, cramped hotel rooms.

And there are properties all over the globe! The selections are endless, from seaside villas with access to private yachts, to equestrian estates with full-staff including: property manager, security detail, housekeeper, private chef and drivers. There are rentals to fit every desire.

Tribeca Apartment, NYC

The elevator doors of this Tribeca loft part directly into Hudson Street 3, and the home unfolds in welcome. Star sightings, shopping, and delectable cuisine make Tribeca one of New York City’s must-see neighborhoods. With Washington Market Park and the Hudson River Greenway just steps away, stroll a few blocks south to catch a glimpse of the unfolding Freedom Tower, or head north to the boutiques of stylish Soho. $910 a night USD.

Now that I’ve spent hours searching the Luxury Rentals from HomeAway website, I am so jazzed to plan our next getaway. Not only are these properties ideal for family travel, but the thought of having a couples’ weekend retreat with friends or giant family reunion in one of these palatial homes sounds like a trip of a lifetime. Suddenly, my luxury family travel dreams are becoming a reality for 2014!

  1. I’m with Katie, I fell in love with Aix-en-Provence. So close to the beach, the mountains – it is a dream!

  2. That Tribeca Apartment is calling my name.. that’s the way I’d want to take a vacation to New York too.. =)

  3. I absolutely love the serenity of Bali, very beautiful waters. The coziness and open air of the french villa, it truly seems like a place children would really enjoy. In New York love the suite. My favorite thing to do is rent a luxury car or hire a driver, stay at a nice place and really enjoy the night and day life the city has to offer in comfort and style.
