Southern Living has unveiled Vrbo’s most stunning vacation rentals of 2026, and the list reads like a curated collection of dream destinations. From coastal retreats to mountain escapes, these homes stand out for their thoughtful design, elevated interiors, and strong sense of place. We’re especially honored to have one of our very own WAV homes included among this year’s selections.

What’s especially notable is the South’s presence on the list. True to form, Southern homes shine with inviting architecture, layered textures, and that effortless indoor-outdoor living that defines the region. It’s a reminder that great design isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about how a space feels and functions.

Whether you’re planning your next getaway or simply looking for inspiration, these standout rentals offer a glimpse into what makes a home both beautiful and memorable.
