We’re a team of bookmarkers. From runway pieces we can’t wait to style, to celebrity outfits inspiring our weekend wardrobes, to the little indulgences that bring us joy (long live the drawstring pouch bag), Vogue editors keep a constantly evolving list of inspiration—it’s the focus of our pitch meetings and the fuel for our stories. So it’s no surprise that when it comes to planning travel, we use the same approach. Our editors have a running wishlist of places to stay around the world. If you’re looking for ideas for your summer plans, why not take a cue from our dream Airbnbs?
From a sunny, elegant penthouse in Paris to an eclectic home in Mexico City to a quiet one-bedroom tucked into the cliffs of a remote Greek island, the rentals below span different locations and styles. Some are places our editors have stayed at and can’t stop thinking about; others are places they dream of visiting one day. It’s a mix, full of travel inspiration.
Here are six Airbnb rentals that Vogue editors have bookmarked.

Design Sunny Apartment, Paris
“As you’d expect, my dream Airbnb is in Paris. What makes a place ‘dreamy’ includes: sunny, light-filled rooms, cozy interiors, walking distance to the Marais, and a great view (even better if it has an elevator—lugging a suitcase up narrow Parisian stairs isn’t for the faint of heart!). This apartment checks all those boxes and more—making the sixth-floor walkup worth it.” –Kiana Murden, beauty shopping editor
Rooms: 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom
Amenities: Balcony, washer/dryer, bathtub, pets allowed
Location: Paris, France

Duck Duck Goose, Nantucket
“I come from a family that really values authenticity and craftsmanship in interior design, which can be hard to find these days. Last fall, my family and I visited Nantucket and stayed in an Airbnb that amazed us all. True to Nantucket style, the house was historic, with raw cedar shingles and lots of character—but it was also thoughtfully updated in a way that kept its charm. With custom millwork, antique furniture, and classic nods to its seaside setting, my whole family loved staying there.
The home had plenty of space for all of us, and we were just a short walk from the town center. We even raved about the mattresses and linens, which were by Matouk. I later found out the home was designed by New York-based interior designer Samuel Masters—I’m a fan!” –Alex Ditch, associate commerce producer
Rooms: 6 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms
Amenities: Beach access, washer/dryer, backyard, outdoor dining area

Faros Villa, Serifos
“It’s no exaggeration to say I’ve been trying to book this tiny island home for years. It’s in high demand: Located on the Cycladic island of Serifos, Faros Villa is the perfect example of rustic island style, offering privacy and incredible views. For anyone who cares about aesthetics, there are lots of little details to love—azure shutters, a bed built into the original stone foundation, and splashes of blue paint on a wall so textured it almost looks like wallpaper. Then there’s the terrace. It wraps around the house with unobstructed views of the Aegean below, making for a peaceful start and end to each day.” –Elly Leavitt, lifestyle shopping editor
Rooms: 1 bedroom, 2 bathrooms
Amenities: Ocean view, outdoor shower, air conditioning, patio
Location: Megalo Livadi, Greece

The Barn at Asa Stone Farm, Ipswich
“I recently stayed at the dreamiest Airbnb in Ipswich, Massachusetts, just a short drive from Crane Estate and Crane Beach. My sister decided to elope with just the six of us there, and shWe picked this perfect barn house. It was warm, romantic, and just right.
There’s something so special about being surrounded by orchards, with horses and goats wandering the property. It felt intimate, peaceful, and a world away from everyday life. And with Crane Estate and the beach nearby, there’s plenty to explore. Movie fans will recognize the area from Little Women, which filmed scenes on the Estate. It’s a truly charming New England getaway. –Andrea Zendejas, shopping market editor
Rooms: 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms
Amenities: Beach access, backyard, free parking, washer/dryer

Condesa House, Mexico City
“Mexico City is one of those bucket-list places I can’t believe I haven’t visited yet. I’ve never stayed in a gorgeous Airbnb before, so going all out in CDMX would be a real treat. My trips are often too packed with activities, so taking time to relax in a beautiful home—between sightseeing and enjoying the amazing local food—might be just what I need to lower my constantly high stress levels.” –Concetta Ciarlo, beauty shopping writer
Rooms: 3 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms
Amenities: Fireplace, washer/dryer, private sauna, free parking

The Mallow House, Morongo Valley
“Even though I’m from Canada, I’ve always felt drawn to the desert. I remember sitting in my bedroom as a teenager planning a trip across several western states—Arizona, Nevada, Utah, and California. I’ve especially wanted to spend a few days in Joshua Tree. This beautiful pink mid-century home would be the perfect place to relax, read, and enjoy a negroni as the sun sets behind the mountains.” –Fred Sahai, associate commerce producer
Rooms: 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms
Amenities: Darkening shades, board games, fireplace, backyard, outdoor dining area, BBQ grill
