Vrbo has revealed its list of Vacation Homes of the Year to recognize the ten best-in-class vacation homes across the USA. The 2022 Vacation Homes of Year are all located in popular vacation destinations and met required selection criteria, including a combination of 5-star ratings, guest reviews, number of bookings, Premier Host status, and family-friendly amenities available.

“The Vacation Homes of the Year exemplify why families have trusted Vrbo for decades. They have a proven track record of earning excellent ratings and reviews, and the hosts who own and manage these places are dedicated to going above and beyond for their guests,” said Alison Kwong, Vrbo spokesperson. “We also know every family has different tastes and vacation preferences, so this list represents a variety of price points, destinations, types of properties and design.”

  1. It’s a great bit of marketing by Vrbo. I can’t help thinking that these 10 are the tip of the iceberg. It makes me want to look for the others

  2. If these places are anywhere typical of the quality, I can see my Vrbo Trip Board getting very full, very quickly.

  3. Although we got very fed-up catering for ourselves during Covid, I’m still a bit uneasy in hotels and restaurants.

    Now that there are bits in the newspapers on new Covid variants emerging, I still think I’m safer in a holiday home than a hotel.

  4. Broken Bow is interesting as a vacation home for multi-generational trips. We’ve tried bringing the generations together, much more successful in a vacation home than in a hotel.
    It works as long as you’ve got two things. The youngsters should have plenty to keep them occupied. And the oldies ought to have some quiet corners where they can enjoy a few minutes peace and quiet.
