Festive, flexible, and full of joy — no matter where you are.
Thinking about spending the holidays away from home this year? Whether you're escaping winter weather, reuniting with loved ones in a warmer place, or just switching up your traditions, a vacation rental can be the perfect place to celebrate.
At EroRentals, we’ve hosted everything from Thanksgiving dinners and Christmas mornings to New Year’s toasts and Hanukkah celebrations. Here’s how to make your holiday in a vacation rental just as warm, meaningful, and magical as home — maybe even more.
1. Choose the Right Rental for Your Holiday Needs
Start by thinking about how you want to celebrate.
-
Hosting a big meal? Look for a full kitchen and large dining area
-
Traveling with extended family? Book a multi-bedroom home with space to spread out
-
Want cozy vibes? Prioritize comfort, natural light, and outdoor spaces
-
Need a pet-friendly option? Make sure Fido is welcome too
EroRentals offers properties that cater to different celebration styles — from quiet getaways to full-house gatherings.
2. Make It Feel Like Home (or Something Even Better)
Bring a few sentimental items with you, like:
-
A stocking, ornament, or holiday candle
-
A playlist of your favorite holiday music
-
Your traditional recipe ingredients or spice blend
-
A small wrapped gift for each person, even if symbolic
Most of the holiday magic comes from moments and rituals, not decorations.
3. Decorate — Just Enough to Spark Joy
You don’t have to go all-out. Simple, travel-friendly decor goes a long way:
-
Battery-powered string lights or LED candles
-
A tabletop tree, wreath, or garland
-
Themed napkins, mugs, or table settings
-
Holiday cards or photos from home to display on the counter
Ask us — some EroRentals homes may even come pre-decorated for the season (just mention it when booking!).
4. Cook (or Order) Your Favorite Holiday Meal
If food is a central part of your holiday, you’re in luck — vacation rentals with kitchens mean you can prep your favorite dishes.
-
Shop at a local market for fresh ingredients
-
Prep together as a group — assign dishes and make it fun
-
Or skip the stress: order from a local holiday catering service
Bonus tip: Make a big brunch the next day with leftovers, mimosas, and zero pressure.
5. Keep (or Create) New Traditions
The beauty of holiday travel is the chance to let go of old stress and create something new:
-
Exchange “experience gifts” like massage gift cards or excursions
-
Have a beach day or nature walk instead of watching football
-
Host a sunset toast or gratitude circle
-
Try a local holiday event or cultural tradition
6. Include Remote Family and Friends
Even if not everyone can be there in person, you can still connect:
-
Host a holiday Zoom call from your rental’s living room
-
Send a group video or holiday card photo from your vacation
-
Share your celebration through stories or a family group chat
Your rental becomes a hub for new memories — shared in new ways.
7. Don’t Forget the Downtime
One of the best parts of holidaying in a vacation rental? The freedom to do nothing.
With no hosting pressure, no fancy table setups, and no formal dress code — you’re free to enjoy what matters most.
Final Thought
The holidays aren’t about the location — they’re about connection, comfort, and joy. And with the right vacation rental, you get all three — plus sunshine, space, and a break from the ordinary.
EroRentals offers beautifully appointed homes across Miami and South Florida, ideal for family gatherings, couples’ getaways, or solo holiday retreats.
