Located in the beating heart of downtown Athens, this apartment puts the city's best at your fingertips. From football games at Sanford Stadium (a ten-minute walk away) to concerts at The Georgia Theatre (two minutes on foot), you'll be able to explore with ease – not to mention the vibrant nightlife, trendy restaurants, and excellent shopping nearby. As for the apartment itself, it's welcoming and contemporary. There's an open-plan kitchen where you can rustle up Southern favourites, as well as a cosy bedroom. Even with two guests sleeping on the sofa bed, it feels pretty roomy. Central, convenient, and comfortable – that's all our boxes ticked.

Georgia's Gem

Spanning two floors, this elegant home embraces its historic setting while offering 21st-century luxuries. Warm and welcoming from the moment you arrive, you'll find a whitewashed living area with contrasting window frames, dining chairs and accent tables. Upstairs, the serene bedrooms boast traditional characteristics that further the theme of championing past and present, with wooden beams, original hardwood floors and exposed brick fireplaces providing eye-catching charm in abundance. Outside, you'll find a beautiful shared garden and terrace where you can dine alfresco under ancient Charleston trees while you watch the sunset. If you decide to venture out, you’re just one block from Upper King Street with its wide selection of shops, restaurants and bars.

Checkered

It can sometimes be difficult to find a home for a big group getaway – the balance between communal spaces and private corners is always a tricky one, but this home definitely gets it right. Or perhaps we should say homes, as you'll find yourselves spread across two separate buildings, with a shared garden and courtyard between them. The impressive bedrooms allow you to shut the door, recharge your batteries and enjoy a moment of peace and quiet when you need to. Conversely, the large living rooms and, of course, the outdoor seating area provide plenty of room for parties and chatting into the night. The interiors are pleasingly minimalist, with hardwood floors and luxury furnishings giving the space an air of sophistication as well as comfort. Downtown Charleston is within easy walking distance – all its bars and restaurants are just a ten-minute stroll away, so heading out for dinner and drinks is as simple as walking down the street.


Ain't She Sweet

Described by New York Daily News as "folksy and fabulous", – we couldn't agree more when it comes to this home in Asheville. Combining the home's original features with refined luxury, the hardwood floors, the original structure and many small architectural details remain faithful to the spaces long-lasting history while modern interiors and home comforts present a serene space that makes relaxing easy. 

With the host's dedication to sustainability, this home's meticulous attention to detail speaks volumes of their values towards protecting the environment. The hosts are dedicated to recycling and encourage guests to do so. In addition, the proximity to downtown Asheville, just a two-block stroll, means there is little need to use a car here either as you'll have an abundance of local shops and award-winning restaurants, all within reasonable walking distance. 

Make the most of the property's expansive grounds and charming historic renovations from the garden or rooftop terrace, making the perfect spot for an afternoon tipple when the weather is kind. Stay for the sunset to take in the stunning panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and downtown Asheville.  



Cinnamon Swirl

Experience the bright lights and buzzing atmosphere of central Charlotte at this contemporary apartment. Just a short walk away, you'll find places aplenty to shop, dine, and drink. Back home, the private balcony and its skyscraper views set the scene for a stay to remember. Digital nomads will appreciate the dedicated office room. There's also a modern kitchen, though it lacks a proper dining table. Factor in the access to shared on-site amenities, like the gym, patio, and clubhouse, and it's no surprise that it caught our eye.

Charlotte Scenes

This mansion retreat offers space, comfort, and endless ways to unwind. Set on thirty-five private acres, it features a seasonally heated pool with a hot tub, and courts for basketball and pickleball. The games room and gym will keep everyone active, while evenings by the fire pit or movie nights in the basement family room are perfect for bringing everyone together. Located in Gainesville, a charming city in Georgia, you’ll be close to Lake Lanier for boating and North Georgia’s beautiful hiking trails. A car makes exploring easy, with the waterfalls and mountain vistas of Helen just over thirty minutes away. The interior design may not have that luxe wow factor, but the sheer amount of space makes it feel like your own private resort. With so much to enjoy, this is a place where lasting memories are made.

Lake Mansion

This historic Norcross home is full of timeless charm and character. Original fireplaces, warm wooden accents and beautifully preserved details give it a rich sense of history, with modern touches for comfort. The wrap-around porch and its rocking chairs invite you to slow down with a morning coffee or an evening glass of wine. Inside, the spacious kitchen and elegant dining spaces make gathering easy and memorable. The location couldn’t be better, with local shops, parks, and restaurants just steps away. You’re also only a short drive from downtown Atlanta, making this the perfect blend of small-town charm and city convenience.

Historic Norcross

A sweet summer’s day comes easy in this elegant, Georgian-style home. After a rejuvenating sleep in one of the lavish bedrooms, all you’ll want is to get out into the sun. We know that some people prefer sandy beaches while others like swimming pools, and we love that this home has both – a private, glassy pool out back and the beach just a stone’s throw away. The home also has an entertainment room and well-equipped bar to ensure that everyone gets their share of fun. Though with a golf course nearby and rest of the island playground, perhaps we didn’t even need to worry about that.

Suburban Haven

Welcome to Queen City, nestled in the historic Belmont neighbourhood in NoDa. Visit NoDa to see the city's diverse galleries and attempt to catch a performance at the Neighbourhood Theatre, which often hosts big-name artists. Stroll about town for a relaxing day out, looking at artisan gift shops and jewellery stores before stopping for a slice of pizza. For a soothing day, head to Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden, where you can listen to birds sing and see flowers bloom. The 7th Street Public Market captivates you in this food market and is great for a relaxed weekend day over coffee and pastries. With so much to do in the city, you'll never feel bored.

When you arrive home, you will be greeted by your well-groomed front yard. Chill on your front porch, complete with comfy outdoor seating is ideal for a cup of coffee or relaxing after a day of seeing this historic city.  End the evening gathering around the chic modern wood table for a home-cooked meal or a local takeaway.


Poems of Charlotte

This downtown Charlotte apartment is in a fantastic location for a city escape. Designed with families in mind, the private balcony is ideal for a quiet coffee with a view, and the fourth bedroom with bunk beds and toys is perfect for little ones. There's not a lot of space for eating together, but being so centrally located, you'll find a wide range of bars, restaurants and cafés just a few minutes away. You'll also have access to the building's communal facilities here, including a fitness centre, pool, and clubhouse. And if that's not enough entertainment, you'll find Charlotte's top attractions within walking distance. 

Epicurean Nest

Part of Sea Pines Plantation, where it all started for holiday rentals on beautiful Hilton Head Island, this fully renovated home is the perfect place to switch off and relax. Just a short walk from the beach, and with all the gated community's excellent amenities on hand, it's a peaceful and private getaway surrounded by pretty gardens and mature trees. Inside, think vaulted ceilings, wood floors and neutral tones, with a tasteful coastal theme throughout. The heart of the home is the huge, open plan kitchen, with its double-height ceiling, cosy seating area and dining table – all with excellent views of the garden thanks to the large windows and sliding doors. On cooler evenings, snuggle up around the fire in the cosy living room, and on warm summer days cook outside on the grill and laze the days away in your hot tub. Everything here is within easy reach, whether it's the miles of perfect beaches, the oceanfront dining or the nearby riding stables. It's just a six-minute drive (or a pleasant bike ride) to the shops and restaurants of Harbour Town and the path down to the beach leads directly from your garden.
