HomeAway Vacation Rentals

HomeAway is a leading vacation rental platform that connects travelers with unique places to stay around the globe. Originally launched in 2005 and now proudly part of the Vrbo family, HomeAway has decades of experience helping guests find their perfect “home away from home.” Once a distinct brand in the vacation rental market, HomeAway joined forces with VRBO (Vacation Rentals by Owner) in 2020 to offer a unified, enhanced experience for travelers. Today, it continues to offer the same great selection of vacation homes – cabins, beach houses, condos, villas, and more – all with the flexibility, comfort, and privacy you love when traveling.

With over 2 million properties across 190 countries worldwide, HomeAway opens the door to an incredible variety of vacation rentals. Whether you’re planning a family reunion at a lake house, a romantic weekend in a cozy cottage, or an adventure with friends in a city apartment, you can find it on HomeAway. Our platform operates in multiple languages and regions, making it easy for travelers from all over to find the perfect stay. No matter where you’re headed or who you’re traveling with, HomeAway helps you discover a place to call home on your next trip.

Discover the Perfect Vacation Rental

Whatever your dream getaway looks like, HomeAway has the perfect rental to match. Here are just a few of the vacation home types you can find on our platform:

• Mountain Cabins: Retreat to a rustic cabin in the mountains for ski trips or a peaceful escape in nature. Enjoy a fireplace, scenic views, and all the cozy comforts after a day of adventure.

• Beach Houses: Wake up to the sound of the waves in a sun-soaked beach house by the ocean. From coastal cottages to luxury villas on the shore, you’ll have front-row access to sand and surf.

• City Condos & Apartments: Stay in the heart of the action with a modern condo or apartment in the city. Enjoy easy access to restaurants, museums, and nightlife, plus the convenience of your own kitchen and living space.

• Countryside Villas & Cottages: Unwind in a spacious villa, farmhouse, or cottage in the countryside. These homes provide plenty of room for the whole family or group of friends to relax in privacy and comfort.

No matter the destination or occasion, there’s a HomeAway rental that feels just right. From chalets in the Alps to condos in Florida, every property offers a chance to live like a local and make lasting memories. You get more than just a place to sleep – you get a space to live, laugh, cook, and reconnect with the people who matter most.

Why Choose HomeAway?

When you choose HomeAway, you’re choosing a better way to travel. Our vacation rentals offer freedom and advantages that traditional accommodations can’t match. Here’s why millions of travelers have made HomeAway their go-to for every getaway:

• Flexibility & Freedom: Enjoy the freedom to plan your days your way. Unlike a hotel with set meal times or cramped quarters, a HomeAway rental lets you set your own schedule. Sleep in late or start early, cook your own breakfast or have a midnight snack – it’s your vacation, on your terms. Plus, you can find homes of all sizes and styles to suit your travel needs, from solo retreats to multi-family gatherings.

• Comforts of Home: Experience all the conveniences of a real home. Spread out in multiple bedrooms and living areas, cook in a fully equipped kitchen, and maybe even do laundry with an in-home washer/dryer. Vacation rentals provide the comfort of home amenities – comfy living rooms, private outdoor spaces, Wi-Fi, and more – so you can relax and settle in. It’s perfect for families and long stays, giving everyone room to breathe.

• Privacy & Space: With HomeAway, you get the privacy of an entire place to yourself. No noisy hotel hallways or sharing common areas with strangers. Whether it’s a secluded cabin or a standalone beach villa, you and your group can enjoy your stay without disturbance. This extra space and privacy make trips especially enjoyable for families with kids, groups of friends, or anyone who values a little peace and quiet on vacation.

• Trust & Safety: HomeAway is backed by a trusted platform with robust safety measures. From secure online payments to 24/7 customer support, we’ve got your back.

• Family & Pet Friendly: Traveling with the whole family – including the four-legged members – is easier on HomeAway. Many of our rentals are family-friendly, offering kid-approved amenities like game rooms, bunk beds, or high chairs. You’ll also find pet-friendly homes so you don’t have to leave your furry friend behind. With a full home at your disposal, children can have their own room and pets can have space to play, making vacations less stressful for everyone.

• Great Value: Get more for your money. Vacation rentals often provide more space and amenities at a lower cost per night than booking multiple hotel rooms. By having a kitchen, you can save on dining out, and with room for everyone under one roof, it’s easier to share costs. HomeAway offers transparent pricing with no hidden resort fees – just a great value stay where the whole group can spread out and enjoy.
