The Most Stunning Airbnbs to Book for April
April is "just right" for a pre-summer getaway.
As winter’s chill recedes, destinations across the globe shake off their slumber in April. Forget the crowded summer rush; this is the sweet spot. From the Arctic’s thawing landscapes to the blooming cities of the American South, April is the perfect time to experience the world in transition. Whether you’re drawn to the cultural explosion of San Antonio’s Fiesta, the wildflower-strewn deserts of Arizona, or simply the chance to snag a quieter moment at Orlando’s theme parks, there’s a getaway for every type of traveler. Here’s a peek at some of the most stunning Airbnbs to consider as your base for these springtime adventures.

Experience the Arctic spring in Greenland
Greenland’s new international airport in the capital city, Nuuk, opened in November 2024, and with the first direct flight to the island, it’s likely to be a popular escape come summer for those looking for a “coolcation.” Matador named Greenland one of the places to go for 2025, and if you like the sound of dramatic glaciers, sleepy fishing towns, and nautical adventures, you might want to lead the charge and visit in spring. It’s also an excellent time to witness the untamed beauty of the Arctic in a state of awakening.
I wouldn’t say Airbnbs in Greenland are in short supply, but the choice is a smidge more limited than other islands near the US. That said, there are some wild options, like this glass-fronted waterside cabin where you can watch the icebergs bob on Ilulissat Isfjord (a UNESCO World Heritage site) from the living room. The one-bed red timber home is centrally located in Ilulissat, a one-and-a-half-hour domestic flight from Nuuk.

Take in the historical sights of Savannah in full bloom
Like Charleston, Savannah comes to life with beautiful blooms in April, and comfortable temperatures mean strolling the parks, cobblestone streets and oak-canopied avenues is more pleasant than in the humidity of the summer. The city’s famed squares become living canvases in April, bursting with the pinks, purples, and shades of white of azaleas and dogwoods.
Choose an Airbnb with character in Savannah. And for that, you’re spoilt for choice. My suggestion is this 1860s post-and-beam three-bedroom townhouse. Located in the historic district, it’s a short walk from the city’s top attractions, award-winning restaurants, and parks in bloom. The historic home features traditional haint blue ceilings, a shared courtyard space, and comes with reserved off-street parking.

Join the fiesta at San Antonio’s annual cultural extravaganza
April’s typically mild weather provides an ideal backdrop for exploring San Antonio’s historic sites and natural beauty. However, the star of the show this month is the annual Fiesta San Antonio, a ten-day extravaganza of color, sound, and flavor. Fiesta San Antonio, a tradition rooted in the city’s history, celebrates the battles of the Alamo and San Jacinto but has evolved into a city-wide cultural festival. The River Walk is the heart of the action. You’ll find parades winding their way along the riverbanks, live mariachi music, and exceptional Tex-Mex street food.
If you’d like to stay near The River Walk, check out Matador’s selection of the best Airbnbs. Alternatively, bookmark this huge six-bedroom mansion a few minutes from the Alamo if you’d still like to be within walking distance of the festival but would prefer some quiet time. It’s got all the bells and whistles for a fun group vacation: a state-of-the-art golf simulator, a pool and Jacuzzi, outdoor games, and a theater room. There are so many entertainment options; you can have your own fiesta at home.

Explore Saguaro National Park’s desert landscape blanked in wildflowers
Following a winter’s rain, the Sonoran Desert comes to life with delicate wildflowers of orange poppies, desert bluebells, and yellow brittlebush. April days are warm and sunny, ideal for exploring the network of trails that wind through Saguaro National Park.
There are some exceptional rentals near the national park. These tend to be off the beaten path and require a sturdy vehicle. If you’d prefer to be closer to Tucson but still benefit from mountain views and desert-inspired decor, have a look at this luxury four-bedroom property within a gated community in Catalina Foothills. It’s one of Airbnb’s top one percent listings. After a day in the park, you can relax in the heated pool and spa, and the uber-chic sand-colored interior design is scrumptious.

Get a good deal on a last minute vacation to Hawai’i
April is a shoulder season in Hawai’i, with good weather, better deals, and fewer crowds than the peak summer months. It’s also the last opportunity to spot migrating humpback whales in the waters surrounding the islands before their northward journey.
One to bookmark, this is one of the prettiest Airbnbs I’ve found in Hawai’i. It’s absolutely perfect for a couple or small family. The one-bedroom is in the beautiful town of Hāʻena. If you want to get away from busy beaches, main touristy spots, and crowds, there is where you want to be. The home is a quick bike ride from Tunnels Beach, which has some of Kauai’s best snorkeling and opportunities to swim with sea turtles. The newly renovated cottage has panoramic ocean views from every room — including the bathroom with a tub looking out over the water.

April is the best time to do Orlando’s theme parks
Spring break is over. So now is the ideal time for a family vacation to Orlando’s theme parks without the summer heat and humidity. While you’ll still need to wait, the lines are generally shorter. If you want to experience one of the parks with young kids, April is your window.
If you’re looking for a themed rental — we’re talking Micky Mouse glassware and Frozen patterned wallpaper — have a look over Matador’s selection of properties near Disney. But if you’d rather something a little more grown up, check out this three-bedroom family home in central Orlando. It’s around 20 minutes from both Disney and Universal and has everything you’d need for the family: a heated pool, hot tub, yard space, and an outdoor dining area.

Catch the tail-end of the dry season in Costa Rica
For wildlife enthusiasts, April is one of the best months to visit Costa Rica and enjoy the country’s renowned biodiversity. It’s the end of the dry season, so there are optimal conditions for wildlife observation near water sources, and underwater visibility is exceptional for snorkeling and diving. Hiking trails, especially in the cloud forests of Monteverde, are also dry, meaning more routes are accessible.
Whether you’re after a beachy paradise or rainforest adventure, there are some mind-blowing Airbnbs across Costa Rica. For a stay to remember, this canopy home in Monteverde won’t disappoint. The romantic one-bed will allow you to view wildlife from your deck, but it’s far from a jungle hut. The luxurious hideaway has all the mod-cons you’d expect at a five-star hotel. It’s also situated on the famous hiking trail of El Tigre Waterfalls.

Relax in Cancún sans the spring break crowd
April in Cancún means three things: warm weather, clear skies, and fewer crowds than during spring break. If you’ve got the winter blues and need a little sunshine pick me up it’s a great time to go. You can explore popular archaeological sites without overwhelming crowds, and the ocean, undisturbed by the summer storms, is crystal clear.
Rental properties in Cancún are also notoriously expensive, but you might find prices for April more realistic. Airbnbs here range from ocean-view condos and apartments to over the top villas. If you have a group, check out this waterfront five-bedroom. The luxe property is right in the center of the hotel zone and just 10 minutes from downtown. It has the same amenities as a five-star (there’s a daily housekeeping service) but offers more privacy and flexibility than a hotel.

Diving conditions in Belize are optimal in April
For those who have dreamt about diving in Belize’s most famous visitor attraction, the Great Blue Hole, April is the prime time. The absence of strong currents combined with the clear waters means visibility often exceeds 100 feet. It’s also spawning season for various species. You may witness snappers, groupers, and other reef dwellers courting. The dry season also makes exploring The Maya ruins and the jungles more manageable and comfortable.
If you’re a solo traveler or a couple, this colonial-style bungalow makes an excellent base. It’s located on Ambergris Caye, Belize’s largest island, and is just off the second-largest barrier reef in the world. You’ll find dive shops plenty here, and the proximity to coral gardens and opportunities to see turtles, barracuda, and seahorses are right on your doorstep. This Airbnb is located in the north of the island on a family-run coconut plantation. The tiny house is literally on the sand with unobstructed ocean and reef views.

Go rural in Texas to witness carpets of bluebonnets
Texas’ flower, the bluebonnet, marks the arrival of spring, and the best place to see the bloom in Texas Hill Country is in and around Ennis. Between the middle of March and the end of April, the striking blue blossoms paint the region’s terrain, roadsides, and grasslands with a stunning azure hue. Ennis, officially recognized as the “Bluebonnet City of Texas,” celebrates with the annual Ennis Bluebonnet Trails and Festival in April, featuring scenic driving routes, guided wildflower walks, live music, and local artisan markets.
Around one hour from Ennis is this waterfront family home in Mabank. With three bedrooms, tons of outdoor space, a private dock, and a grill, it’s the perfect base for a spring getaway to Texas. It’s also pet friendly (although there is a fee) and offers sunrise views over the deep cove, where you can also fish.
