In June 2021, Netflix released a new travel show called “The World’s Most Amazing Vacation Rentals” that showcased some of the most amazing Airbnb and VRBO properties in the world. The popularity of this show was huge, and it didn’t take long for Season 2 to be released. I researched the heck out of the properties from Season 1 to provide you with the booking links (click here if you are looking for those). And I am here to help you out again with an episode guide and the complete list of links to Netflix’s World’s Most Amazing Vacation Rentals for Luxury, Budget and Unique Travel from Season 2. (Which of those three travel styles do you think appeals most to Touristish? Hmm…)

Well that didn’t take long! Traveling hosts Jo Franco, Megan Batoon, and Luis Ortiz have hit the road again to scour the globe for the most amazing vacation rentals, with eight new episodes on Netflix. Vacation rentals are my preferred mode of lodging, so I’m appreciative of them doing the legwork to find the best ones. There aren’t a lot of hotel properties that are so special that I would change my vacation destination to visit, but that is not true for vacation rentals. Some of these vacations rentals are the destination. Read on to see the complete episode guide and list of properties with their booking links from Season 2 of The World’s Most Amazing Vacation Rentals on Netflix, so that you can make them your own destination. Let me know in the comments which property you want to visit first!
Traveling the world to stay in a hotel is touristy. Traveling the world to stay with the locals is touristish.
Netflix “…Vacation Rentals” Season 2
For those who are a fan of the sharing economy vacation companies, like Airbnb, VRBO, Grab, Lyft, Uber, Hipcamp, RVShare, WithLocals, GetYourGuide, etc., you will appreciate the work that the hosts of The World’s Most Amazing Vacation Rentals, Season 2 have gone through to find the most Unique, Budget and or Luxury vacation rentals in the world. However, Season 2 was filmed during COVID, so most of the property locations are in the United States. Hopefully they bring us a Season 3 soon and can get back out in the rest of the world!
If you find that Netflix has expensive taste, that their budget rentals aren’t-so-budget, and you want to see my list of the world’s most amazing vacation rentals, be sure to click here for my list of Amazing Vacation Rentals for Regular People!

Do You Agree?
Jo, Megan, and Luis have chosen awesome properties to inspire travel and inspire staying in vacation rentals through websites like Airbnb and VRBO. Would you agree that they found the most amazing vacation rentals? Which ones are you most excited about? Which ones would you add to their list? (No, really, I want to know! Tell me in the comments below!) For me, personally, on the Eco Friendly episode, I’m disappointed that they didn’t stay in one of the Earthships outside of Taos, New Mexico.

Great post! Thank you for sharing this list!
Thanks, Angie!
Can I submit my rental for consideration? If so, how?!
Hi Lacey! This is a list from the Netflix TV series “The World’s Most Amazing Vacation Rentals”, and I am not affiliated with their show. I think to be considered to be on their show, you would need to contact their producers, and I’m not sure how you would go about doing that.
I have my own list at amazing vacation rentals at https://touristish.com/vacation-rentals-regular-people/ , but only recommend places I’ve actually stayed that have blown my mind! 🙂 If you send me the link to your rental, I can consider staying next time I’m traveling through your area!

Thanks, Chelsia!
We booked the Forrest Lodge property near Portland and Mt Hood after we saw the show. Thanks for compiling all this info. Hopefully we can book more amazing rentals soon!
That’s awesome!! I hope to get to these properties myself someday! I’m so glad you found this useful!
