The BoutiqueHomes Experience.

Impressed ...

I have to mention to my success indeed with my home Glass Cube on Boutique Homes' 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 Boutique Homes 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 n 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.

Hankering for the holidays? Pietra Nova in Lumio, Corsica is a house that spends all day thinking of playing outside, and will be happy to welcome two guests at 50% off for the months of May and June. Lined with enormous full-length glass doors that slide clean away for you to breathe in the view and spacious verandas both tented and in full, glorious sun, this summery home inspires a good week of slow barefoot resourcing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ https://b-ho.me/PietraNovaCorsica .

White is no color and every color, the canvas, the painting, the dust, and the sculpture. In the same way, Rhodes Monocabin in Greece, all clad in white, was designed by @mandalaki_studio to be present and absent, a "livable design object" that has found its place in nature and yet does not take up space. The result is that delicious blurring of indoors and outdoors, shelter and sky. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ https://b-ho.me/RhodesMonocabin

Mad about these lines! Villa Capri in Itri, Italy designed by @cherubinogambardella is a celebration of the wonders that well-considered lines can do. For instance, channeling Hockney against an Italian backdrop, and making a simple thing like railings and supports look rather like modern art. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ https://b-ho.me/VillaCapri

Kick off your babouches and climb right in. This little Riad hotel in Marrakech is like walking into your Morocco Pinterest board and wading into that perfectly tiled tree-shaded pool in the central courtyard that you had swimming in your head. Bougainvilleas and all ;) https://b-ho.me/RiadHotel

We're never too cool for a tub on a rooftop! Especially this delicious topping on Portimao Townhouse in Portugal, which is a veritable double-layer cake of milky whites and bold, life-loving prints. https://b-ho.me/PortimaoTownhouse

It's always a joy to see a kitchen that's bold enough to be a centerpiece in itself. This beauty is in Villa Filottrano, a wonderfully restored farmhouse in the Marche region of Italy, laid with traditional Cementina tiles that reflect the colors of its surrounding olive groves and Mediterranean gardens. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ http://b-ho.me/VillaFilottrano

Inspiring encounters, the clinking of glasses, aromas from the kitchen, the air of the city entering through wide open windows... This is what Numero Venti Rm.2 in Florence was made for. This refurbished 16th-century palazzo is now a space for incurably curious travelers, an exhibition space, and an artist-in-residence program. Made by artists for the artist in every one of us. http://b-ho.me/NumeroVenti2

Everything thrives in Casa Zen, a two-hundred year old hacienda in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, its ancient walls complemented by sweeping panes of glass that frame its fertile gardens. There is a special relationship with nature here, and the simple and delightful gesture of making a tall yucca the centerpiece of the home says it all. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ http://b-ho.me/CasaZen

Libraries have always been a haven for those to whom travel is a state and not merely an action. Antiga Biblioteca Almirall in Barcelona is home, child, and sibling to a fascinating Colombian family who has created a world without strangers. After 18 years of loving restoration, this ancient library is now an ongoing journey of shared ideas, long weekends in the sun, and very special events. https://b-ho.me/AbtigaBiblioteca

Plaza Vieja 1912 in Havana, Cuba, is the perfectly situated townhouse we have all built in our dreams of Havana: Bathed in sepia, lightly laced with the decadence of baroque, colonial, and art deco elements, tied together with a string of mid century modern. Leaves are waxed green, the air is heavy and ripe, and our heads are dancing to the son of Ibrahim Ferrer. Just perfect. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ https://b-ho.me/PlazaVieja

Sometimes more is more, and Itapororoca Beach House in Trancoso, Brazil, is one of those times. This lush three-bedroom beach house is a treasure trove of fascination for life and travel. Its generosity of warmth, colours, and textures feels like a visit to an old friend. http://b-ho.me/ItapororocaBeachHouse

Long lunches, wild flowers, and the grass under your feet. Maison Alegria in Provence is that sun-soaked dream of a French holiday, steeped in scents and nestled in an olive grove. Each room in this house comes with a little kitchen island, all the better for you to explore the fabled pleasures of cooking with French seasonal produce. Julia would be proud! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ https://b-ho.me/ProvencalB

Get in touch with your inner child at Villa Filottrano, a rustic farmhouse living a second life as a bucolic countryside villa in Marche, Italy offering all the trappings of simple, modern luxury: Peace and quiet, deep breaths, the smell of dew in the morning, and sunset showers in the garden. https://b-ho.me/VillaFilottrano

Swim into the mountains, lie in the sun, and listen to the trees. How's that for a to-do list? Chiavarese Villa in Liguria has plenty of ideas where that came from. Do it all in this enchanting country house that is a perfect blend of Italian country living and Scandinavian well-being.

It takes a little something special for explorer @borgeousland to take a break from all that scaling, skiing, and circumnavigating. And that little something special is his Sea Cabin in Manshausen Island, Norway where you can jump into a hot sauna after a freezing cold dip, go to sleep under a dancing sky, and wake up over the water. https://b-ho.me/Sea_Cabins
