ABOUT THE SHOW

How the Staycation TV Show Elevates Vacation Rentals with Emmy-Winning Storytelling

Behind the scenes of the unscripted travel series turning real homes into real stories.

There’s something special about stepping into a vacation rental that feels lived-in and thoughtful. Maybe it’s the handmade tile in the kitchen, or the vintage record player someone left by the bed. A great host doesn’t just offer a place to stay—they share a piece of themselves.

That’s what the Staycation TV show is all about. This Emmy-winning travel series, created by The Destination Channel, turns vacation homes into real, human stories—with beautiful visuals to match.

A Different Kind of Travel Series

Staycation is about purpose—how a home was built, why it looks the way it does, and what kind of experience it offers. Each shoot brings in a full production crew: drone operators, cinematographers, editors. But what makes the show different is the tone. It’s calm, curious, and focused on what makes a place feel meaningful.

Why Hosts Are Embracing the Camera

For many homeowners, being featured on Staycation has been a chance to tell their story—through their space. Some hosts use the finished episode to enhance their Airbnb or Vrbo listings. Others share it with friends and future guests. And for a few, it becomes a personal keepsake that reflects why they created the home in the first place. No matter the reason, it adds something meaningful to the journey of the property itself.

Where to Watch the Staycation TV Show

Once filming wraps, episodes air on Pluto TV, Roku TV, and CBS partners. For hosts, it’s often surreal to see their home—and their story—reaching viewers across the country.

Each featured home is also showcased on our Book Your Staycation page, where viewers can learn more, explore the space, and even book the stay.

More Than a Feature—It’s a Story

At its core, Staycation is about connection. It reconnects hosts with the meaning behind their space and helps them share that feeling with others. That’s what sets the show apart. It’s not just about showing beautiful homes—it’s about why they matter.
