Vacation Rental Mansions

If a getaway with a large family or group of friends is on the calendar, make the trip luxurious, memorable, and affordable — by renting a mansion. You don’t have to be one of the 1% to rent a little of the good life on vacation. There are bona fide mansions and luxury homes across the country where large groups of people can hang out for a nightly rate of around $100 a person (some less, some a little more). Here are some of the most fabulous mansion and villa rentals where large groups can vacation in style for less than a hotel, with per-person prices based on the biggest crowd the rentals can accommodate.
