What's the Story?

THE WORLD'S MOST AMAZING VACATION RENTALS is a reality series about short-term vacation rentals available around the world. Hosts Luis D. Ortiz, Megan Batoon, and Jo Franco take viewers to Bali, Miami, Alaska, Finland, and many more destinations to showcase the properties available to rent for holiday travel. From exotic tropical paradises to some of the world's strangest B&Bs, each episode features the hosts staying at a budget-friendly property, a luxury rental, and a unique, one-of-a-kind abode. It also features the hosts checking out some of some of the area attractions, and meeting local residents and fellow travelers.

From eco-friendly tree houses in Bali, to a natural cave lodge in the Ozarks, the pleasurable series showcases some of the many, and varied, properties that people can rent for their post-COVID travels. Some of the episodes are country-specific; others are designed to highlight the more popular trends in short-term rentals. They all highlight what makes each rental, based on the desired experience, a great alternative to a hostel or hotel.

The World's Most Amazing Vacation Rentals is a promotional vehicle for each of the properties featured, and it's designed to help reinvigorate the tourism industry, which was decimated by the global pandemic. Much like a travel brochure, it's obvious that everything has been done to highlight the best of what each site has to offer. Nonetheless, the enthusiasm of the hosts, combined with the scenery and local attractions, makes this a fun watch. No doubt travel-hungry viewers will be inspired to dust off their passports and begin planning their next trip.
