These Vacation Homes Come with All of the Luxury and None of the Upkeep

Homebuyers are catching on: the only thing better than waking up in paradise is waking up in paradise with no to-do list. For those interested in buying a vacation home, a top concern is maintaining the home when it’s not occupied.

We have rounded up a new crop of branded residences that don’t skimp on luxury, yet barely require any work from owners—no cleaning, landscaping, routine home maintenance or even cooking while onsite—so that owners can truly live the effortless “vacation” lifestyle and forget about the real world’s obligations.
