vacation homes

Seasonal retreat dwellings

Vacation homes are secondary residences used for leisure travel rather than primary dwelling.

A family might own a vacation home at the beach or in the mountains, visiting seasonally or renting it out when not in use.

The term often appears in real estate and tax contexts: vacation home rentals, vacation home mortgage.

Also called second homes, though that term doesn't specify recreational purpose.
