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.

Here’s something for your beach bucket list: Instead of chopping, brining, mixing, and baking indoors, make it a fully alfresco affair. 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.

That includes this to-die-for kitchen that showcases incredible views of the Pacific (it also has Caesarstone countertops, a Ninja juicer, and a Nespresso). It’s a splurge, but what better time to treat yo’ self than the holidays?

There’s a lot of Joanna Gaines-inspired heart eyes happening in this adorable Hamptons kitchen. The sleek tiled backsplash and cream-colored cabinets mixed with the distressed metal accents are farmhouse-style perfection. (As one reviewer says: “One of the best decorated, Instagram-worthy houses I’ve stayed in off Airbnb.”) Also, there’s a wine fridge.
