Renting a whole home, rather than just a hotel room, provides more space and privacy for the whole family to stretch out and relax. Short-term lodging platforms like Airbnb have revolutionized attitudes toward staying in a stranger's home.

However, these platforms usually don't provide the perks and security of a global loyalty program. Marriott solves the problem with Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy, offering professionally managed luxury homes worldwide. While each property is unique (and more memorable than your average cookie-cutter corporate chain hotel room), guests can expect brand standards like high-speed Wi-Fi, bathroom amenities, high levels of cleanliness and round-the-clock customer support.

Marriott is one of the world's largest and most well-known hotel chains, with a diverse portfolio of brands in the United States, from cheap and cheerful budget options to aspirational luxury properties. Marriott's Bonvoy loyalty program allows members to earn and redeem points for free nights (including at Homes & Villas properties) and earn elite status for perks like room upgrades, free breakfast at certain brands, bonus points and early check-in and late checkout.

With so many unique and luxurious properties across the globe, here are our top seven properties for your vacation.
