Spend time outside on vacation

Explore vacation rentals for homes with a patio

Some locations deserve so much more than being cooped up in a hotel room or a rental apartment with no access to the outside world. When you are on vacation in a destination renowned for its fantastic weather and breathtaking scenery, you want to spend as much time as you can outside, soaking up the sunshine and the views. One of the best ways to maximize your outdoor time is to book a home with a patio. A patio can be your private haven to read your book in peace, the communal table to congregate around during lively family dinners, or a fantastic space to have a glass of wine and relax with your significant other in the evening after a busy day of exploring.

Take in all the scenery in vacation rentals with patios

If you're vacationing by the beach in Florida or at the heart of Yosemite Valley, you want to feel like all the natural beauty is right at your doorstep. With vacation rentals with patios, you become immersed in your surroundings. Barbecue on the patio of your beach house with your loved ones after a fun day playing in the water and let the ocean be the backdrop to your evening. Recover from a challenging hike and watch the towering peaks you've just climbed loom large over the horizon. Savor the simple joy of listening to the busy world come to a standstill at night as the wild symphony of the natural world coming to life resonates in the valley.

Soak it all in on your vacation rental's deck

Lazing about on the private deck of your vacation rental is a great way to ease yourself into the new day or bring a busy afternoon spent wandering the town to a close. Enjoy precious me time while you sip on the first cup of coffee of the day in Seattle or work on your tan in private before heading to the pristine white sands of Panama City Beach.

Vacation rentals with decks typically come furnished with all the amenities you need to make the most of the sunshine, with comfortable sun loungers and large tables. Depending on your location, they might also include fire pits, BBQs, and hot tubs.

Watch the world go by

Watching the world and its people go by is one of life's simple pleasures. When strategically placed, a rental home with a patio, deck, or balcony is a chance to experience the local lifestyle from afar before diving in yourself. Soak up the atmosphere of your neighborhood, get a taste of the local customs, and have a nice chat with a friendly local.

A modular space for all kinds of activities

A large outdoor space can have many different uses. From early morning yoga sessions when it's just you and the sunrise to late night parties around the fire pit where you can let the holiday feeling truly sink in, home rentals with outdoor spaces let you live the kind of vacation that you want to live. Reorganize a simple patio so it becomes a safe play space for your kids, gather around brunch in the sun with your close friends, or line up a couple of sun loungers facing the ocean and transform your outdoor space into your very own private beach.
