United Statesbased vacation rental site and app Homeaway now offers international properties. Which means we can now have a millionaire’s vacation without paying like a one-percenter.

There’s a 108-year-old cabin on Strand Island, Minnesota, which looks like it did 108 years ago. There’s also Belize’s Gladden Private Island – for the modernists. And there’s serious birdwatching on Canada’s East Island.

For every unique property we want to stay at, Homeaway curates the experience – from selecting the location of our “home” based on the activities we want (rock climbing, horse riding or snowboarding excursions) to including preferences for amenities. Want to live in a low-allergen environment? No problem. Want a home with a lift for an elderly person? Sure thing. Want to live in a village for an Eat Pray Love experience? Check.

Your holiday experience is about to get more comfortable (or uncomfortable, if you want). - HT

1 A four-night stay on Gladden Private Island off the coast of Belize costs $4,226 a night. Your stay includes unique services – like those of a private chef and concierge team.

2 East Island, Canada, has rich greenery. Birdwatch in the surrounding woods and snorkel in the clear waters – for as little as $360 a night.

3 For $1,456 a night, Tikehau Fafarua Lodge, French Polynesia, provides a private boat, kayaks and paddleboards. The lodge is designed in the authentic style of buildings in the Tuamotu islands, to give you a more culturally rich experience.
