Vrbo^® released the 2025 Vacation Rentals of the Year, the annual collection of 10 standout private vacation rentals across the U.S.

The selected homes range from three to nine bedrooms, with nightly average rates between $400 and $4,000, and are in the most in-demand destinations for rentals this spring and summer, including the Florida Panhandle; Scottsdale, Arizona and Gatlinburg, Tennessee.

“Every year, Vrbo’s Vacation Rentals of the Year inspire travelers to book their next family vacation, and the 2025 collection is no different,” said Larry Plawsky, General Manager of Vrbo. “The vacation rentals on this year’s list reflect nearly 300 10/10 guest ratings, experienced and dedicated hosts, and stunning spaces that offer the most requested amenities on Vrbo from private pools to fully equipped entertainment rooms.”

Introducing Vrbo’s 2025 Vacation Rentals of the Year, which include serene beachfront and lakefront getaways, a desert retreat and cozy cabins.

Entering its fourth year, the Vacation Rentals of the Year are chosen from more than two million listings on the Vrbo app and undergo a thorough selection process based on what travelers desire most:

• Exceptional guest ratings: Ratings of 9.8 or above and stellar reviews from former guests
• Premier Host* status: Properties managed by hosts with a proven track record of providing excellent guest experiences
• Multi-bedroom accommodations: Enough space for families or group trips; all homes have at least three bedrooms for guests to comfortably stay together
• Standout amenities: Homes that feature the most popular amenities on Vrbo; every honoree has a private pool or hot tub, and extra consideration was given to homes with unique features like a pickleball court, mini golf course or private sauna

“Vrbo hosts are ultimately the key to making a traveler’s vacation one to remember. Premier Hosts in particular are known to go above and beyond to offer exceptional, reliable and relaxing guest experiences,” said Tim Rosolio, Vice President of Partner Success for Vrbo. “With our rigorous Premier Host badging, we’re sending a clear and compelling trust signal to travelers about where to find the best and consistent experiences on Vrbo.”

This year’s Vacation Rentals of the Year are among the fastest-booked rentals in the country. Travelers who book the Vacation Rentals of the Year can take advantage of Vrbo’s free rewards program, which includes earning OneKeyCash™ that can be used toward future eligible stays**.

This year’s collection of homes also embodies popular travel trends from Vrbo’s trend report, Unpack ’25. This year, travelers are embracing JOMO (the joy of missing out) and these standout properties offer the perfect setting to enjoy quiet moments and reconnect with yourself or loved ones. Recognized homes are also located in destinations on Vrbo’s “Phenomena-list”, like Gatlinburg, Tennessee, where travelers can witness the natural phenomena of synchronous fireflies in the Great Smoky Mountains this summer.
