vacation rental
Temporary travel accommodation
A vacation rental is a furnished property—typically a house, apartment, or condominium—rented to travelers for short-term stays as an alternative to hotels.
Unlike long-term rentals, these are leased by the day or week, often through online platforms.
We booked a vacation rental near the beach instead of staying at a resort.
The term encompasses everything from modest cabins to luxury villas, with owners sometimes managing properties themselves or through rental agencies.
