Vrbo revealed its 2023 Vacation Homes of the Year. The recognition features the most exceptional vacation homes across the U.S. As a bonus, this year’s list also includes a vacation home in Mexico, an international destination that consistently ranks as one of the most popular for U.S. travelers.
“There are more than two million private vacations rentals on Vrbo, so there are many amazing choices. This year’s Vacation Homes of the Year range from an urban oasis and a cozy ranch home under $400 a night to a beachfront estate that can sleep the whole family and more,” said Jon Gieselman, president of Expedia Brands. “Every single Vacation Home of the Year has a beautiful view, and combined boast seven private pools and fire pits, eight hot tubs and even five putting greens.”
