holiday homes

Seasonal rental lodgings

Holiday homes are properties used for vacations rather than permanent residence—beach houses, mountain cabins, lakeside cottages.

The term is more common in British English; Americans typically say vacation homes.

A holiday home may be owned by the family who uses it, rented out to tourists, or both: They bought a holiday home in Cornwall.
