Somehow, 2024 is absolutely flying by. Summer break is around the corner. It feels like we’ve been going, going, going since December. If you’re finding yourself starting to feel a little more stress than you were expecting as the weather warms up, we fully understand. Aside from really encouraging you to do your best to focus on self-care, hydrating, and getting the rest you need, we’ve got another idea. We want to give you a little stress relief inspo with the ultimate in stress relief: a mom-friendly getaway. And for that, you’ll need a relaxing vacation rental.
Doesn’t seem possible? It is. We promise. You don’t have to book a week at a resort in the Bahamas to unwind (although if you do, we’d love to join you!). Sometimes a weekend away is all we need to get our bearings and recharge. Of course, if you’re already feeling spread a little thin, you probably don’t want to do the research on that. And that’s where we come in! Whether it’s a trip for two or somewhere for the whole gang (and their crew!), we’ve set you up below. These are the best mom-friendly relaxing vacation rentals out there to help get you balanced, grounded, and fully refreshed.
