There’s a lot to obsess over in this spacious Charleston kitchen: the light wood cabinetry contrasting with the dark wood floors, the glossy subway tiles adding a hint of sheen, and the apron sink and chestnut-colored Dutch door that bring a dose of farmhouse style. If you need us, we’ll be here whipping up a cranberry orange tart with a browned butter crust.

This tropical kitchen is fully equipped for serving up even the fanciest of holiday fare (hello lobster risotto with herb-rubbed beef tenderloin!). If your rental isn’t equipped with an outdoor range, give our cherry-smoked turkey on the grill a try.

If you’re among those who are delighted by celebrity doings, you’ll be delighted to know that pop star Selena Gomez hung out here with her gal pal posse in 2016.
