Six airbnb escapes that vogue editors can’t stop dreaming about
Below, we’ve compiled a diverse collection of Airbnb rentals, hand-picked by our team, spanning continents and aesthetic sensibilities. These aren’t just places to sleep; they’re portals to experiences, meticulously cataloged and ready to spark your own summer adventures. Prepare to be transported.
First up, a sun-drenched penthouse in the heart of Paris, promising panoramic views and a distinctly Parisian charm. Kiana Murden, our beauty shopping editor, describes it perfectly: “It’s got those essential elements – sunlight, cozy interiors, and a stone’s throw from the Marais. Plus, an elevator? Forget lugging suitcases; that’s a luxury I can’t resist.”

Next, we venture to Nantucket, where Alex Ditch, our associate commerce producer, unearthed a true gem. “My family’s always been about authenticity,” he explains. “This house was a revelation – historic, raw cedar, brimming with character, but flawlessly updated to honor its heritage. The Matouk linens alone were worth the trip.” Samuel Masters, the New York designer behind the meticulous renovation, is clearly a devotee of timeless elegance.

A truly serene escape.”

Back on land, Andrea Zendejas, our shopping market editor, discovered a romantic barn house in Ipswich, Massachusetts. “It was a complete game-changer,” she says. “Surrounded by orchards, with horses and goats roaming freely – it felt utterly removed from reality. Plus, a short drive to Crane Estate? Little Women vibes all around!”
