Vacation Rentals in a city

Find rentals for a city vacation

Taking a trip to the big city is an easy way to pack your vacation full of fun sights and things to do that everyone can enjoy. Cities tend to be unique enough to where people with completely different interests and tastes can still find enough to keep them entertained for the entire trip duration. With so much diversity available in the local attractions, it's only natural to find the same level among the local accommodations.

Urban vacation rentals come in many shapes and sizes, allowing travelers of all types – and with all types of budgets – to find their perfect adventure. The sheer array of options for city getaways makes it easy to customize your trip and book something more unique than a standard hotel, with a wide variety of vacation rentals just waiting for you to try them out.

Discover top destinations for an urban vacation

To get the most out of a city break, you'll want to pick the perfect destination. This can be daunting, as every city has its own unique attractions, experiences, and bucket-list spots. If you're looking to book a stay in a truly iconic, larger-than-life city, New York vacation rentals are always available. They let you see this stunning and massive city full of cultural, culinary, and historical fun.

If New York is a bit much for your getaway, heading to California may be your best bet. The sunny Pacific coast is home to several cities, but a few may call your name. San Francisco vacation rentals let you enjoy many activities alongside golden sand beaches. Meanwhile, Los Angeles vacation rentals allow you to brush shoulders with the stars and immerse yourself in the world's entertainment capital.

Explore accommodation types for an urban vacation

When you book a rental in a big city, you'll find quite a few accommodation options, all with their own benefits. If you want to live like a local during your visit, your best bet would be to book an apartment rental. Apartments are widely available throughout most cities, and choosing one can provide you with a new perspective on the city.

Apartments have a lot to offer, but you'll find condos and villas as well hidden among the concrete jungles of most cities. These offer a more homey experience with cozy comforts the whole family can enjoy. Remember that you'll find both budget-friendly and luxurious options no matter what accommodation type you ultimately opt for. That includes luxury apartments with more square footage than a lot of houses can offer.
