Airbnb

This app's name is nearly synonymous with temporary rentals these days, and its reputation as one of the best getaway rental destinations is well-deserved: Airbnb has a large number of listings in the most popular vacation destinations, and its website is well-designed and easy to navigate. On the primary posting page, there is a visible guide of properties that you may quickly explore by location, or you can turn off the guide feature if you don't believe it is useful. First and foremost, the principal listings page provides useful information, such as the number of rooms and toilets, explorer rating, cost (both per night and for your whole stay), guest limit, essential conveniences, and kind of convenience, such as "full condo" or "private room in the home." On the underlying results page, you may also glance through a posting's images''.

When you click into a listing, you'll find a wealth of information to help you decide whether or not to book, including house rules, bed designs, crossing out strategies, conveniences, audits from previous visitors, and the maximum breakdown (which usually includes things like a cleaning fee and Airbnb's help charge). If you have any questions before booking, you can also contact the property's host through the platform.

The site distinguishes between Superhosts ("experienced, deeply assessed hosts who are dedicated on providing amazing stays to tourists") and Airbnb Plus listings, making it easier to figure out numerous homes ("a choice of spots to remain checked for quality and plan").

Cost: $60,000 to $160,000
