• You don't necessarily need sailing skills to spend a night on the water.
• Houseboats across the US may be rented on Airbnb and make for a truly unique stay.
• We found Airbnb boats across the country ranging from $114 to $436 per night.

There's nothing quite like an escape on the water — and we're not talking about a lakeside cabin .

Rather, sleeping on the water, in the form of an Airbnb houseboat rental, can be a rejuvenating retreat. They make for a socially distanced escape too, since they function as your own private, floating residence in the middle of a body of water. 

Spending a night on a yacht or sailboat is also more unique than booking a traditional hotel or vacation rental, and you can find all kinds of boats on Airbnb across the US. From the lakes of Wisconsin to California's bays, climb aboard parked vessels of all sorts, with no sailing skills required.

Fully equipped 52' houseboat in kemah, texas.

Book this Texas boat on Airbnb

Stay on a 52-foot remodeled houseboat that's docked in a peaceful marina. It's located in a natural bird sanctuary so you can hear the calls of the birds from the boat's three main decks.

The interiors are relaxing and feature a marble shower, two flat screen TVs, and a spot for evening cocktails on a deck with a patio table, chairs, and shade awnings. 

There's a private man-made "island" shared between your rental and seven others owned by the same Superhost that acts as a barbecue and recreation spot. Staying here includes a gas barbecue and shrimp boiler, a pergola with a ceiling fan to hang out in, and canoes and kayaks you can take out for a paddle.

Charming sailboat in Racine, Wisconsin

Book this Wisconsin boat on Airbnb

Located on expansive Lake Michigan, this Airbnb boat rental has tight quarters (you'll be sleeping across from the kitchen sink), but the space still feels bright and airy. 

There's a cute blue Smeg fridge, a cozy dining nook, and a deck with plenty of seating and a handy charcuterie board set-up for sundowner cocktails.

Relax onboard playing cards or head onshore to the marina for the hot tubs, heated pool, or restaurant, which are all included as part of your reservation.

There aren't showers, but there is a toilet, and showers at the marina are easily accessible and clean. While the boat does sleep three, the stay is most ideal for couples.  

Desert houseboat with pool in Joshua Tree, California

Book this Joshua Tree boat on Airbnb

Moored in the Joshua Tree Land Yacht Club and located on dry land in the desert expanse of Joshua Tree, California, this boat is exceedingly unique.

You'll sleep on a colorful Queen bed in the bow of the boat with blackout blinds to fend off the bright light of the desert. There are two chairs on the deck for enjoying a morning cup of coffee, and right outside is a stargazing deck for spotting constellations and meteor showers. Best of all, there's a stock tank pool for cooling off.

Though the boat is all yours for the duration of your desert voyage, an outdoor "surfboard shower," nautical outhouse, a fire pit, a kitchenette, and a grill are shared amenities with artists who live on-site.

Modern and elegant houseboat in Stuart, Florida

Book this Florida boat on Airbnb

This houseboat could easily double for a cheerful, nautically-themed apartment given the spacious layout and maritime touches, such as a turquoise sofa and twin armchairs are adorned with fish-print pillows.

The subway-tiled kitchen offers much more room than you might expect and the sunny bathroom has a shower. The bedroom includes a Full-sized bed and sliding glass doors that lead to a deck with lounge chairs. 

You'll be docked within a pleasant marina that's a five-minute walk from downtown boutiques, restaurants, and coffee shops. The host also provides bikes if you want to explore excellent beaches just six miles away. 

Unique concrete houseboat in Sanford, Florida

Concrete, but make it float. It might sound surprising, but this perfectly seaworthy boat was made from concrete in Sweden in 1973 and did two full laps around the globe before becoming the cool floating getaway it is now.

Decorated in slate gray, charcoal, sand, and turquoise hues, the space offers a calming, modern take on small interiors. There are cozy seating nooks, a narrow but long kitchen, a separate bedroom with a Queen-sized bed, and a sleek tiled shower in the compact bathroom. 

The surrounding marina offers additional showers, restrooms, laundry, a diner, and a restaurant and bar with a pool. Downtown Sanford is also close by.

Motor yacht in New Bern, North Carolina

Book this North Carolina boat on Airbnb

Climb up to the sundeck with lounge chairs and a daybed for viewing spectacular sunsets. 

Although two guests are allowed, there is a capacity for four guests with the use of a sofa bed at an additional charge of $50 per person.

The yacht is parked in a convenient location adjacent to the historic downtown area filled with restaurants, shops, and bars.

Harbor yacht in Boston, Massachusetts

Book this Boston boat on Airbnb

Boston is known for its classic brownstones that date back to the founding of the city, and this posh yacht is docked near it all. The historic Bunker Hill monument, the USS Constitution Museum, and Boston's oldest neighborhood, the North End, are all within walking distance.  

Pretty water views and cool water breezes are found throughout the boat, and glossy teak finishes and white leather complement red and blue accents for a strong nautical theme.

There are two staterooms, each with its own baths, and a small kitchen and a living area. The compact kitchen doesn't permit the use of the cooktop, but there is a coffeemaker, toaster, microwave, and convection oven. 

From November to April 1st, the boat is wrapped in shrink wrap to block snow and keep the interior warm, and while it might not look as photogenic, you can still plan an offseason stay.

Marina resort boat in Key West, Florida

Book this Key West boat on Airbnb  

If you're heading to gorgeous Key West, this boat rental is a great way to experience the water and wildlife up close. Lucky guests may even spot manatees and dolphins from the deck.

The interior of the boat features teak furnishings, polished brass accents, and nautical blue hues. Two beds include a Queen-sized V-berth bed in the main stateroom and a half-berth bed off the main cabin.

Operated by an Airbnb Superhost, this hand-built sailboat is docked within the Perry Hotel's resort marina. As such, boat guests have access to the amenities of the high-end resort, too, including a pool, fitness center, and a free shuttle that takes guests from the marina to downtown Key West. 

While there's a toilet and sink on board, showers are at the marina. Similarly, there's an in-counter fridge and Keurig, but no microwave or stove.

Modern Houseboat on a pond in Bremen, Maine

Book this Maine boat on Airbnb

This gorgeous houseboat floating on a pond evokes the simple feel of a tiny home. The wooden panels and light-filled space provide an airy feel and there is both a double bed and a single bed in the main cabin. All cooking and essentials such as linens, soap, fresh drinking water, and life jackets are included as well.  

While the inside is inviting, save time to sunbathe on the outdoor and upper sun decks for great views and prime lounging. Although the boat is stationed on the water, a canoe is included for the guests to travel onshore. 

Private boat charters may also be arranged with the host. Keep in mind that guests are not allowed to drive or operate the boat themselves and the boat will remain parked for the duration of the stay.

Vintage boat in Gig Harbor, Washington

Book this Washington boat on Airbnb

If you're looking for a vintage stay, this restored historic Airbnb is less than an hour from Seattle and infused with character and charm.

The kitchen is adorned with brass lanterns, while a comfortable dining nook has a seafoam green bench and lace trim. There are also two bathrooms on board, a rarity for boats, including one with brass portholes and one tucked away under a folding ceiling panel.

Bedrooms are small but comfortable, with white linens and portholes to keep the vibe breezy and light. The host also includes two kayaks for guests to use as well as a barbecue on the dock.

Houseboat hotel in Douglas, Michigan

Book this Michigan boat on Airbnb

This 43-foot houseboat, or "floating hotel," as the host describes her, has everything guests need for a relaxing weekend escape.

A good size bedroom offers a Queen-size bed so you won't have to sleep in any tight spaces, and the interior is sleek and modern with updated black cabinetry, a fully stocked kitchen, and a pullout sofa.

Outside, guests have full access to marina and wharf facilities, which include grills, showers, a pool, additional bathrooms, a gazebo, and laundry.

The original 'Caddyshack' yacht in Stevensville, Maryland

Book this Caddyshack yacht on Airbnb

Cinephiles will appreciate the chance to stay on the actual yacht from the 1980 Bill Murray comedy "Caddyshack."

The well-maintained boat is outfitted to host a dedicated crew of fans, thanks to three bedrooms and three full bathrooms spread across the boat's 60-foot length.

Bench seating wraps around the deck and the kitchen is large enough for entertaining a crowd. Of course, there are also nods to its cinematic history. You'll be able to hear the iconic horn Rodney Dangerfield played in the movie, and there are autographed photos of Dangerfield and stills from the film.  

While the boat is rented with the understanding it'll stay put in its berth, guests may talk to the Superhost about chartering a cruise on the Chesapeake Bay. Fishing trips can be booked in the marina as well. 

Spacious 84' yacht in South Pasadena, Florida

Book this Florida yacht on Airbnb

If you're looking for a boat to hold a large family, this four-bedroom yacht makes for a spacious, elegant getaway offshore.

The interior is bright and airy, with a white-paneled ceiling, sprawling lounge spaces, and a massive kitchen with up-to-date finishes. 

The staterooms and living areas are mostly white with splashes of turquoise, gold, and orange, and objets d'art provide colorful pops. Bathrooms are also large and have plenty of countertop and storage space.

Outside, there's more room to spread out along the perimeter benches, at patio tables, or from the seating area at the back of the ship. 

While the boat stays moored, you can also book private charters with the host or use the complimentary kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, and fishing poles.

Restored vintage yacht in Charleston, South Carolina

Book this Charleston boat on Airbnb

This Charleston stay takes place on a Hatteras motor yacht restored with a big helping of Southern charm. The marina location is peaceful and also ideal for exploring downtown Charleston.

The boat features all-teak interiors and white sofas, as well as simple but inviting bedrooms that can easily sleep a family. The main bedroom has a Full bed and an ensuite bathroom, and the second bedroom has two single beds that are just right for kids.

What should I consider when staying on a boat?

While boats have a lot of charm, not all offer a lot of space, and sometimes bedrooms (whether staterooms or berths) can even be claustrophobic with very limited square footage. Be sure to ask the host questions about the size of the rooms if you have concerns.

Not all boats have super-small living quarters, though. Houseboats, for example, will tend to offer more room to move around than sailboats since they're meant for day-to-day living. Yachts for larger groups can also offer more space. 

Be aware that not all boats have full kitchens or showers so be sure to read up on the amenities and what's onboard versus nearby.

How do I find an Airbnb that's a boat? 

Type in your initial search criteria on the site's landing page, including the number of guests, destination, and dates (or as much of that as you know).

Then, click "more filters," and scroll down to "unique stays." You'll find a box to check that says "boats," and that will bring up the only boats to your results pages.

What is the Airbnb Enhanced Clean program?

The Airbnb Enhanced Clean is a program for hosts that involves learning and getting certified in strict cleaning protocols. These cover everything from wearing personal protective equipment and what cleaning supplies to use to how to clean between guests. All hosts are now required to follow a stringent cleaning plan outlined by Airbnb as part of the program. 

Is it safe to stay in an Airbnb?

The CDC has declared US travel safe for fully vaccinated individuals.

Vacation rentals are also considered safer than hotels by experts, especially completely contained stays like the boats we've outlined. However, it's wise to continue to monitor guidance from the CDC and WHO, and to check state and local guidelines.

With travel trends pointing to travelers seeking unique (and socially distanced) experiences, booking a yacht or houseboat  is growing in popularity as an alternative and sometimes cheaper accommodation option. And thanks to sites like Airbnb and Vrbo there’s now an easy way to find the perfect vessel to fulfill your nautical dreams or just get started on testing out the boat life.

The Blue Marlin is your nautical theme - but actually nautical. The deck, the cedar walls, the gear shift and steering wheel are all real. And on water. (Just don’t expect to pull anchor.)

You’ve got your private deck, your tv and dvd player, your fridge, your bbq - but what you’ve been craving is the gentle sleeps on water and the deep-reads overlooking a quaint village in a fishing harbour, with vistas in all directions.

Your guide to Idaho

Welcome to idaho.

Laying claim to hot springs in the high desert and rugged canyons that channel thrilling whitewater runs, the Gem State’s diverse landscapes are the perfect settings for off-the-grid getaways. The scenery ranges from rocky to surreal in such notable outdoor spots as the Sawtooth National Recreation Area, Craters of the Moon National Monument, and City of Rocks National Reserve. In central Idaho, the resort town of Sun Valley draws skiers and snowboarders to its famous slopes.

Eastern Idaho serves as a gateway to Yellowstone National Park, which spills into the state from neighboring Wyoming. Rugged adventurers often head to Idaho’s northern panhandle, where the Snake River rushes through remote Hells Canyon, the deepest river gorge in North America. In Boise, the largest city, Idaho’s rugged side gives way to one of the nation’s fastest growing metropolises. While many people know Idaho best for its “famous potatoes,” as the official license plates declare, it’s increasingly popular for its craft breweries and burgeoning wine regions.

The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Idaho

Idaho’s distinct seasons each have their own draws, with winter and summer ranking as the most popular for their wide range of outdoor activities. For winter action, head to the highest elevations, where heavy snow keeps ski towns hopping all season. As the snow melts in the mountains, spring wildflowers blossom; by May, rushing rivers kick off the rafting season in a place sometimes referred to as the capital of American whitewater. With generally sunny and balmy weather, summer is prime time at natural parks and on hiking trails. Warm weather lingers through September and October, when the changing of the leaves show the state in full color.

Top things to do in Idaho

Snake river valley wineries.

More than 60 wineries dot the Snake River Valley, where a wide variety of grapes grow in the ancient volcanic soils. The valley was designated in 2007 as the first American Viticultural Area in Idaho. Its low profile makes for a more laid-back touring experience. It’s common to find winemakers pouring flights in their low-key tasting rooms, many open by appointment only. Sipping your way along the Sunnyslope Wine Trail gives you an easy introduction to the young Idaho wine scene.

Bruneau Dunes State Park

Hikers climb up shifting mountains of sand in Bruneau Dunes State Park, where you’ll find the largest single dune in North America. Trails trace across the park’s varied landscapes, which range from windswept sands, to marsh, to lakes popular with fishers. The visitor center also rents sandboards, which let you zip down the slopes like a snowboarder in the desert.

Shoshone Falls

In the Snake River Valley flows one of the most magnificent waterfalls in the United States. While you might hear it referred to as the Niagara of the West, Shoshone Falls is, at 212 feet (64.6 m), actually higher than the East Coast’s famous Niagara Falls. Melting snow dripping from the Rocky Mountains make spring the ideal season to see the water thunder over its wide rim.
