Too Cool for School: Family-Friendly Homes

Here are three new ultra-cool vacation homes to make even the most nonchalant, autonomy-hungry teenagers proud to vacation with the parents. Family-friendly vacation rentals? Go ahead, bring the whole brood!

Starting with Casa 1413 Ullastret, Catalonia, Spain (pictured top). This airy, sunny holiday home in the beautiful region of Girona sleeps 12, and comes with impossibly chic bunk beds to call dibs on. We can’t get over those doors that open up like a nice long morning stretch under the sun.

Been dreaming of getting away from it all with the young ones? This cabin in the woods of North Carolina is perfect for a little family on a big mission to get back together with Mother Nature.

Zen out in the dunes. This modern vacation home in the Netherlands was inspired by the windswept headlands of neighboring De Oude Banjaard National Park. Wild yet serene, it’s a perfect place for a quality family catch-up. The in-house sauna makes it a treat for the cooler months too.

Quick, don’t think! This ridiculously sexy seaside home in Comporta, Portugal, is also the perfect family-friendly getaway. Get packing, or don’t — just hop on that plane!

Go halves in Corsica. This splendid vacation home in Corsica is half indoors, half outdoors, and 50 percent off for two guests for the months of May and June, 2018. We love the creative vibe of this spacious home, its proximity to the smooth rock beaches of Lumio, and will you look at that view?
