Why do people rent luxury houses by the hour?

So why rent a luxury home? There are tons of reasons why luxury house rentals are appealing to people everywhere.

Some of the most common possibilities include:

• Photo shoots
• Video shoots
• Parties (birthday parties, baby showers, holiday celebrations, etc.)
• Company offsites
• And more!

Hosting these types of events and gatherings in a luxury house can mean the difference between an average gathering and a memorable, highly successful one.

For instance, think about it in the case of a business meeting. Sure, you can meet in any old conference room or other standard office space, and the meeting will probably go fine.

But if you really want to impress those in attendance and facilitate the most effective communication and thinking, holding your meeting in a truly comfortable and high-quality space is a great way to make that happen.

The same can be said for personal events. Let’s say you’re planning a milestone birthday party for a loved one. You want to host the party in a special space that has the comforts of home, but that is larger than most homes and filled with high-end furnishings. Make this birthday party one that your guest of honor and their friends and family will always remember by hosting it in a luxury home!

And as you’ll soon see, renting a luxury home is easier to do than you may think.

Why use Peerspace to book luxury house rentals by the hour?

There are other marketplaces out there (including Airbnb, VRBO, and the like) that facilitate short-term rentals of homes. It may be totally doable for travelers to rent a luxury home for a day. However, there are some reasons why renting a luxury home on these types of platforms is not ideal, and understandably so.

Luxury homeowners who list their properties on vacation rental platforms expect their guests to stay overnight. They thus treat the space more like a home share, rather than a place for hosting events, productions, and meetings. You may not even be allowed to host an event at these luxury homes!

Peerspace is different. It’s the world’s largest online marketplace for renting spaces by the hour or for the day, not for multiple days and nights like other rental marketplaces. You save money by renting a luxury home by the hour rather than for an overnight, multiple-day stay.

The platform makes it easy to connect you with luxury home rentals hosted by locals who expect you to host gatherings and professional events. The Peerspace search tool is intuitive and the site is simple to browse.

It also does a great job of facilitating communication between hosts and renters. In fact, you have the full support of your luxury rental home’s host in case you have any questions or requests leading up to or during your rental period.

What to expect with a luxury home rental

When you rent a luxury home through Peerspace, you can expect the home to be utterly exquisite. For starters, most luxury homes, such as mansions and villas, tend to have more space than your typical home.

And you can usually see in an instant why they’re called luxury homes: they’re filled with luxurious amenities! With Peerspace, you can easily rent a luxury home that provides you access to a sparkling pool, a chef’s kitchen, a movie theater room, tennis courts, massive gardens, state-of-the-art fitness rooms, and so much more.

In fact, it’s a good idea to plan ahead and decide on the amenities you absolutely cannot live without before you begin your luxury home rental search. You can even use amenities as a keyword search on the Peerspace search engine, such as “swimming pool” or “fireplace”. That way, you’ll only see listings for the luxury homes that include your must-haves, saving you time and potentially money.

Keep in mind that most (but not all!) luxury homes are located in suburban and rural settings. If you’re interested in booking a luxury home in the heart of your city, consider penthouse rentals, too! While a penthouse may be smaller than your average mansion, many are still larger or as large as your average home and typically have luxury amenities and incredible views.

Ahead, we’ll share a few examples of the types of luxury homes you can rent through Peerspace. It will also give you a great opportunity to see how informative Peerspace listing pages are, too!
