We’re beginning to see a light at the end of the pandemic tunnel, with signs of America’s tourism industry opening back up. We at Andiamo are encouraging our valued clients to spend the summer traveling domestically. We’ve noticed a sudden surge in inquiries from people looking to rent private vacation homes. These rentals are a safe alternative to a hotel, and offer precautionary measures that include check in and check out without interfacing with staff, and no shared amenities such as elevators or common areas. Vacation rentals are often in remote areas with less direct exposure to other travelers. We want you to continue to experience all that our beautiful country has to offer, with its mountains, beaches and desert landscapes, so we’ve rounded up a list of the Best Private Villa Destinations in North America.

Go for morning hikes along greenbelts and canals, take a horseback ride past Arizona’s famous saguaro cacti in the foothills of the red rock mountains, spend the afternoons exploring art galleries and rustic Western outfitters in Old Town, and indulge in the city’s stylish dining at night.
