Short-term Rentals

Short-term rentals can be a light on the wallet and have us feel at home as we travel

Feel part of the community 

Choosing short-term rentals is more than just finding a place to stay—it’s about experiencing life as a local. By staying in a neighbourhood rather than a hotel district, you’ll have the chance to immerse yourself in the daily rhythm of the community and connect with its people.

Taking some time to say hello to the local folks and hear their stories makes all the difference to us as we travel. It’s these small yet meaningful exchanges that allow us to truly feel part of the community and gain a deeper understanding of another culture. Whether it’s a friendly chat at the corner café or learning about local customs from your host, short-term rentals offer a unique opportunity to create unforgettable memories while seeing the world from a local perspective.

Feel at home as You travel

Travelling doesn’t necessarily mean giving up the warmth and comfort of home. When staying in short-term accommodation, you can enjoy a cosy, welcoming space that feels like home.

Going to the markets to shop for a breakfast or lunch made at the short term accomodation (home) can make us feel like part of the community.   Seeing the same smiling face that helps us find the fresh fish for the evening meal can give us a sense of what it is like to live in Sorento or Paris.  Both places are a little touch of heaven.

Whether you're travelling for work or leisure, short-term rentals often provide the perfect balance of convenience, privacy, and homely touches. With options ranging from fully furnished apartments to charming holiday homes, you can settle in, relax, and make the most of your time away. Experience the joy of travelling while still feeling at home.

Tips for finding the perfect short-term

  • Finding quality short-term accommodation can feel overwhelming, but with a few smart strategies, it doesn’t have to be.
  • Start by clearly defining your budget and preferred location—this will narrow your search significantly.
  • Use reputable platforms that specialise in short-term rentals, such as Airbnb, Stayz, or Booking.com, and always read reviews from previous guests to ensure the property meets your expectations.
  • Prioritise listings with high ratings, detailed descriptions, and clear photos to avoid surprises.
  • Photos don't always tell the whole story.  Accomodation size is usually listed so you can have an idea of how much space you'll have.
  • If you have specific needs, like parking or access to public transport, filter your search accordingly.
  • Don’t hesitate to communicate directly with the host or property manager to clarify details.
  • Lastly, book early to secure the best options, especially during peak periods. By taking these steps, you’ll make the process smoother and increase your chances of finding a comfortable and convenient place to stay.
