The BoutiqueHomes Experience.

Impressed...

I have to mention to my success indeed with my home on BoutiqueHomes' vacation home rental... massive page views and inquiries... a surprise to us, happy to work with you... never expected it... impact!!!!!!! I like the clients BoutiqueHomes has sent me... all super nice people. Creative professionals... more sophisticated than the folks from other sites. I have started to use you guys for my own travel needs in finding the best vacation homes for rent, just too busy with all my projects...

I keep coming back ...

Amazing website - haven't found another one like it in searching for short term vacation home rentals. I keep coming back to Boutique Homes because they offer a very comprehensive selection of places to stay, very personal service and all this without any commission. Can’t get any better.

Love your site

It was a pleasure to work with the Boutique Homes team to make my trip to Los Angeles work. You found and recommended the perfect luxury boutique hotel for my stay. I love all the properties on your site and now, that I consider to offer my own apartment with you, I also get to know your attention to details and your overall customer service behind the scene.

Very good customer service

I was impressed right away with my Boutique Homes experience. Matt was extremely helpful and informative, I was walked through the entire process, and the transaction was seamless. Based on the level of customer service I received, I have no doubt that this will be my go-to site, both for the unique properties they represent and for the level of service I received. Not to mention their vacation home rental prices are very fair!

You did the legwork for us .....

and guided us to very special places we probably wouldn’t have found otherwise. Thank you!!! And all this for free to us travelers. Can't imagine looking for the perfect place for a vacation home to rent anywhere else.

There must be quite a few things a hot bath won't cure, but we don't know many of them. Couple it with a view so untouched it looks almost prehistoric, and you have your perfect week of mid-year resourcing. Draw a bath in Vauville House in Normandy, France this June, and enjoy a special weekly rate just in time for D-Day memorial celebrations. Omaha and Utah beaches are a leisurely hour’s drive away. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ http://b-ho.me/VauvilleHouse

Barcelona is colors and music, textures, and feasts, and Casa Creueta is just that. Originally built by a famous Catalan artist in 1950 and restored by architect Co Govers of Zest Architecture, this house of bold palettes, juxtapositions of warm and cool materials and whimsical details certainly has the citrusy zing of its passionate home city. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ https://b-ho.me/CasaCreuetaBcn

This architectural gem by award-winning Spanish firm Harquitectes in Ullastret, Spain, may be properly grown up and impeccably chic in its natural textures and modernist lines, but it's also delightfully kid friendly! A summer of bunk beds and lawn picnics, convivial family meals, and a driveway for figure eights on little bikes awaits. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ https://b-ho.me/Casa1413

Sensual and organic, Cliffside Suites in Santorini, Greece feels like an expedition into the belly of a beautiful beast who lives in perfect harmony with the infinite landscape of the Cyclades. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ http://b-ho.me/CliffsideVilla

Take me to the water. How does one do dramatic and subtle all at once? Bedaux de Brouwer Architects has the answer in Waterlijn 10. This architectural balm in Zeeland, Netherlands, creates softness within structured lines inspired by the breezes and swaying greens of neighboring De Oude Banjaard National Park’s headlands and dunes. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ http://b-ho.me/Waterlijn

Bake in the sun next to the island in your pool. Eccentric, fantastical, and brimming with imagination, Kallos Naxos in Naxos, Greece feels like that dream you can recall vividly but cannot describe. Its play of shapes and structures, pops of color, and convivial spaces are a feast for the senses. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ https://b-ho.me/KallosNaxos

Perched lightly like an unassuming bird on the powdery shores of Coles Bay, this eco-conscious house is a view as charming as its surroundings. Its open-plan living spaces furnished with pieces from local artisans and artists sit within 200 acres of of secluded forest, surrounded by the world renowned Freycinet National Park. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ https://b-ho.me/ColesBay

Playa Viva in Juluchuca, Mexico, a.k.a when you wake up with a good hair day surrounded by a field of cacti and coconut trees. Besides its irresistible good looks, this small seaside luxury boutique hotel is nature-loving, animal-saving, and an Aztec archeological site. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ https://b-ho.me/PlayaViva

Late in the afternoon in Casa Flore, the softened Corsican sun soaks through the curtains and the view becomes a painting. This little spot right here is perfect for curling up with a book before a sunset walk on Lumio's sculpted beaches. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ http://b-ho.me/CasaFloreCorsica

Even Fido needs a break sometimes. We have a bunch of pet-friendly vacation rentals on BoutiqueHomes because we know that a vacation is not a vacation when all you can think of are those sad puppy eyes left behind. Base Camp, our handcrafted cabin in Yosemite, California is one of them. Fitted with all your essential creature comforts, there's space enough to take everybody out for a big long walk. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ https://b-ho.me/BaseCamp

Wade into the beautiful days at Casas Caiadas, a cluster of ancient watermills set in rural Alentejo, Portugal. Restored with sincerity and heart as an homage to the way we were, this Monocle Top 50 winner is a tasteful retreat that is serene, simple, and charming with a measure of imagination that adds that perfect little something extra. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ http://b-ho.me/CasasCaiadasAlentejo

Mad about this shot by @thismintymoment that perfectly captures the experience at Homestead Modern No.1 in Pioneertown, California. It's always strangely satisfying to see how well contemporary lines bring out the innate modernity of the desert, and this hybrid-prefab home that perches lightly on over an acre of rugged land offers just that. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ http://b-ho.me/HomesteadModern

Just us and the sky. And why not a meandering infinity pool that overlooks the Gulf of Valinco? Generously spread over a single floor, Dessus Valinco in Olmeto, Corsica is a broad stroke of spacious terraces and open-plan spaces with enough room for twelve, perfect for a season of living with nature, stopping to smell the maquis, and feasting under the stars. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ https://b-ho.me/DessusValinco

Lounge with the mountains and the sleeping sun in Silves, Portugal. Algarve Architectural by @studioartealgarve is a multi-level confection that hides three terraces and light-filled rooms behind an unassuming facade on a local street, just the way we like it. The clean lines, smart details, and well-composed windows of this celebrated apartment is a perfect example of the highly contagious enthusiasm for architecture going on in Portugal today. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ http://b-ho.me/AlgarveArchitectural

Porteous' Studio is a carefully crafted space that lies just below the imposing Edinburgh Castle in Scotland. Designed by a young couple who share and want to share their appreciation of architecture, traditional craftsmanship, and creativity, this studio is an intimate retreat from the bustle of the city, inviting you to take time for well-being and the enjoyment of all that is beautiful and essential. Watch this space for small events and supper clubs that gather the city's creative community. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ https://b-ho.me/PorteousStudio

Also on our list of "Things we love to find on a rooftop": A mattress fit for two draped with beautiful linens under a parasol, surrounded by blue. Sorrento Villa in Naples, Italy, is gently stacked on a private parkland with steps leading directly to the beach. It also has a pool with a beautiful view, for those windy days at sea. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ https://b-ho.me/SorrentoVilla
