Holiday rentals are an ideal alternative to hotels, providing more space and amenities for your budget than a hotel. When you choose a holiday rental, you get so much more than just a room - you get an experience and memories to last a lifetime.

HomeAway has a great range of holiday rentals, available in all kinds of destinations, from ski chalet rentals in the alps and luxury villas in Spain , to rural self catering cottages and chic apartments in major city centres. Villa renters enjoy privacy, peace and quiet - things that are hard to come by in a hotel room. When you choose holiday rentals over hotels you join the growing ranks of people who demand more value from their holiday accommodation.

Rentals for beach holidays are the most popular type of holiday home. Beach rentals offer unparalleled convenience for enjoying the world's best beaches, from the Mediterranean to Australian shores. A beach rental typically provides extra perks, like fresh sea breezes, panoramic ocean views and easy access to sand and surf.

While beach destinations are among the most popular, they're not the only place you can find a holiday home rental. Apartment and studio rentals can be great for business trips in cities such as London, Paris and New York , or for romantic weekend getaways to places like Venice, Prague, Amsterdam or Rome.

Or if you're looking for a winter sun holiday rental, consider our large selection of apartments and villas in popular exotic destinations around the world such as Thailand, Bali, Mauritius, the Caribbean, Central and South America, or Australia.

Wherever your dream holiday spot, holiday rentals from HomeAway can accommodate your friends or family on your next getaway.
