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.

Cerulean blue? Egyptian blue? Sea on a hot day blue? Whatever you may choose to call it, we love the saturated hue of Polanco Blue Apartment in Mexico City. This super stylish pad is located in one of the city's most coveted neighborhoods, and offers fantastic urban views. . https://b-ho.me/BlueApartment

Bolton Residence, this gorgeous cantilevered home in Quebec's Eastern Townships, floats among the treetops, creating a lovely sense of lightness. Leave it to Montreal-based architectural firm @_naturehumaine to turn the challenge of building on a narrow, rugged terrain into an emotional interaction with nature.

Duas Portas in Porto has that delightful quality of framing itself, drawing our eyes to its best angles. Crisp and modern with a penchant for "portuense" hospitality, this bed and breakfast set in a transformed 19th-century townhouse is the passion project of three sisters. Check out today's story to see more! . https://b-ho.me/DuasPortas

Lew House, this swoon-worthy holiday home in the Hollywood Hills, is the ultimate haven for mid-century enthusiasts, considering it was designed in 1958 by Richard Neutra— the father of Mid-Century Modern, no less. Impeccably furnished with a repertoire of iconic pieces, it could very well be a cool gallery for mid-century’s greatest hits, yet what it feels like is an animated conversation about our love for design and architecture. Check out today's story for more. . https://www.boutique-homes.com/vacation-rentals/americas/united-states/lew-house-hollywood-hills-california/

What is it about well-placed angles that feel so satisfying? Casa di Monti may have the answer. This three-bedroom villa with sea views in the olive groves of Puglia is a tall drink of architecture touched with delicate refrains of its surrounding elements. . https://b-ho.me/CasaDiMonti

Say hello to our new gem-- The Kumaon. This beautifully artisanal luxury hotel floats over breathtaking views in the sacred Nanda Devi Range in India. Archilovers will revel in its sensible play of geometry typical of iconic Sri Lankan architect Geoffrey Bawa’s Tropical Modernism. Lovers of rooftop cocktails will enjoy the view of breathtaking vistas and leopards that roam below at sunset. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ https://b-ho.me/TheKumaon

The Louie in New Orleans is absolutely dreamy for lovers of home decoration, vintage finds, artisanal craftsmanship, and historical architecture. This restored 19th century "shotgun" townhouse has just enough order to hold everything together, personal style that feels wise, and a story to tell. . https://b-ho.me/TheLouie

Villa Kapari in Milos, Greece, was modelled after traditional fishermen’s houses, or syrmatas, that open up enthusiastically to the air and sunshine. We love how its contemporary eco-conscious structure blends in like a chameleon into the ancient Cycladic cliff. . https://b-ho.me/VillaKapari

We love a ladder with character! Villa Per Otto is one of three villas clustered in the countryside just outside the historic town of Cortona. Its cool and soothing interiors perfectly complement the saturated hues of the Tuscan sun. Enjoy panoramic views and poolside snoozes surrounded by olive, cypress and fig trees. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ https://b-ho.me/VillaPerOtto

Sing like a... 17th century Canarian hacienda! La Bodega in Tenerife, Spain, is refurbished into a loft-like haven and decorated with objects infused with wanderlust. This one-bedroom vacation rental is among six colonial style homes surrounded by a sea of banana trees and of course, the sea. . https://b-ho.me/LaBodegaTenerife

Casa Junqueira in Lisbon is a magnificent fever dream of Portuguese nobility and the Golden Age of Discovery. From intricate azulejos to wood-panelled walls, to bucolic wallpaper and minimalist whites, this 7-bedroom villa is a beautiful blast to the past. . https://b-ho.me/CasaJunqueira

Got kids? We got you! De Grote Beer, minutes from the North Sea beaches on the island of Terschelling, is perfect for a family vacation with little ones. Located in a small holiday park, there's lots of space to go out and play. The one who eats the most vegetables gets to sleep under the glass dome, below the twinkling stars. . https://b-ho.me/DeGroteBeer

Do you discover a city through its local produce? El Rastro, this restored 18th-century townhouse in Madrid named for the famous flea market nearby, is all set up for your culinary adventures. Enjoy 10% off your stay in June and July! Get behind that lovely kitchen counter and cook up a storm to be shared. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ https://www.boutique-homes.com/vacation-rentals/europe/spain/el-rastro-madrid-spain/

Both gallery and canvas, Flanders Art Suite in Belgium puts you right in the artistic action of a creative cluster created by conceptual artists and design duo SLLD. Dotted with surrealist furniture and contemporary art pieces, this former shipyard turned vacation rental/artists' workshop is the ideal getaway for art lovers to resource. . https://b-ho.me/FlandersArtSuite

How much time do you spend on the couch during a vacation? This chic little living room in Salamanca Apartment, Madrid is ready for you, be it for 5 minutes or 5 hours. To make things extra-cushy, take 10% off your stay in June and July :) . https://b-ho.me/SalamancaApartment
