If you’re looking for some holiday inspiration, look no further.
Airbnb has revealed some of its most popular properties in the last decade and the dreamy selection includes a treehouse, a cave and a beach house with a private bay.
The homes were among some of the most wished-for properties on the site and are located all over the world.
Despite offering unbeatable views of incredible destinations – with a couple offering private pools and hot tubs – many of these are less than $100 per person a night.
It’s no wonder that some are booked up months in advance.
So before you drop a pin on a map to decide where to go next, have a look at these.
