If you’re like me, then sometimes you want to stay in vacation homes to escape the cold. I love “snowbirding” to parts of the U.S. where I can have warmer weather in the winter months. For most of us, this means heading south or hopping on a plane to Hawaii.

So from beachfront homes and tropical treehouses to desert retreats and urban oases, I’ve rounded up the dreamiest vacation homes to inspire your next trip.

Here are the best vacation homes to escape the cold this winter!
