Found: The Most Perfect Setting For Every Type of Vacation

I don’t know about you, but I travel like I mean it. I love the thrill of exploring a new place with all the comfort and privacy of a home-away-from-home. Enter: Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy. Unlike traditional “home sharing,” luxury home rentals through Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy offer elevated experiences and benefits backed by Marriott and their expert customer service support. As a maid-of-honor planning a bachelorette party or a mom planning a family trip, I can trust Marriott’s curation of professionally managed whole home rental properties. With my Gold Elite Status with Marriott Bonvoy, earning rewards is the best part of my luxury experience.

So, whether you’re booking a trip for your friends, significant other, or entire family, Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy has you covered. While each rental experience is unique, I can trust each option to abide by Marriott’s strict quality and service standards when it comes to cleaning, safety, and customer service. But just in case you don’t know where to go yet, here are the perfect private rentals on my list.

Best Friends Trip

We’ve all gotten that 2 am call from a front desk complaining about your friend’s freestyle karaoke session. So, when I plan a trip for my friends, we’re always turning to Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy for the flexibility to make our own schedules and live by our own rules. If I’m on a trip to Palm Springs with my friends, we want all the spa amenities of a 5-star hotel without having to compromise on a spacious kitchen. With a private villa, you have plenty of space for that private chef you booked to whip up vegan pesto pasta for the entire bridal party.

You and your girlfriends have a laundry list of places you’ve always wanted to go–local ateliers in Mexico City, skiing in Utah, hiking in Europe–that said, a girls’ night out is much easier to plan than a full-blown getaway. Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy does all the heavy lifting for you. There will always be more than enough private space for after-hours parties too, which alleviates the fear of noise complaints for the maid-of-honor. So, whether you’re planning a beachside bachelorette in Florida or a college reunion in New Orleans, here are the vacation rentals to book.

Best Family Vacation

My four-year-old has been begging to meet Frozen’s Olaf at Disney World. So, these rentals in Orlando-Kissimmee are at the top of my list. Since our family of four tends to travel with all of the energy of a family of ten, private pools, extra comfort, and unlimited space for our 10+ suitcases have us relishing in the idea of a rental home.

In general, warm-weather vacations are a little more challenging to organize for kids. So, the flexibility and professional cleaning services offered in these Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy in Aruba or Hilton Head would also be a great fit for our next trip away. If a cold-weather destination is more your speed, there’s a selection of ski-in/ski-out homes on the platform to make hitting the slopes totally stress-free. Now you have no excuse not to plan that family trip to Park City. Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy might actually help my boys in their campaign to get a puppy. Through their collaboration with Petco, supplies can be ordered and sent to any of their pet-friendly homes (and almost 18% of their inventory is pet-friendly). When you’re traveling with the whole family, it’s those little things that really make all the difference. Perks that might even make me consider taking the boys as far as Portugal.

Best Couples Trip

The next time I travel without the kids, I want to be swept away to a romantic private villa with a private pool. Specifically this one in Athens, Greece. My husband, on the other hand, wants to plan a more adventurous vacation to Costa Rica. Luckily, a luxury spot with an ocean view and an infinity pool will be in order there too.

While we’ve also been dying to go back to Tuscany together, a private home would elevate the entire experience. Imagine winding down after a day of wine tasting in the comfort of a home-away-from-home in your bathrobe. We’re already browsing Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy to plan our next escape.

As a couple, we haven’t decided if we’re finally splurging on that trip to Japan or taking that precious PTO for a week-long stay in Hawaii. Either way, I know we’ll be redeeming the reward points that we’ve saved from our previous trips through my Marriott Bonvoy Lifetime Gold status. My husband will be thrilled about that.
