Have you ever come back from a dreamy Airbnb (or sites like Airbnb) or a boutique hotel and thought, “Why can’t home feel like that?” We get that.
There’s something about those uncluttered, intentionally designed spaces that instantly makes you breathe easier.
But here’s the secret: that vibe? You can absolutely recreate it at home.
Cozy Earth is our not-so-secret weapon for making it happen.
Create a Vacation Rental Vibe
We’ve stayed in everything from luxury eco-resorts to tiny off-grid cabins, and one thing we always pay attention to? The feeling.
As full-time intentional-living nerds (and frequent travelers), we’ve brought that same vibe home, where slow mornings, soft textures, and a little intention go a long way.
If anyone’s going to tell you how to make your space feel like a dreamy vacay spot, it’s us.
Whether you’re working from home, hosting guests, or just trying to make your every day feel a little more special, Cozy Earth staples are the building blocks of your personal staycation haven.
1. Start with the Bed: Your Staycation Headquarters
Let’s be honest: the bed is the anchor of any great vacation rental.
Think crisp, clean sheets, cloud-like duvets, and layers that make you want to cancel your plans and crawl back under the covers.
Cozy Earth’s Bamboo Sheet Set is the gold standard for breathable, hotel-worthy comfort.
It’s temperature-regulating, hypoallergenic, and way softer than anything you’ll find at a chain hotel.
Layer it with their down alternative duvet and duvet cover, and you’ve just made your bedroom feel like a five-star suite without having to pack a bag.
For the full effect, try making your bed every morning as if you’re preparing it for a guest.
That one tiny habit can completely transform the overall feel of your space.

2. Wrap Yourself in the Resort Robe
We’re not being dramatic: the Cozy Earth Resort Robe is a whole experience.
It’s light enough for summer but still has that luxe, plush feel that makes you want to lounge around as if you’ve got nowhere to be.
It’s our go-to after a shower while making coffee or when we’re pretending to be in a spa between Zoom calls.
If you add just one thing to give your home that vacation feel, make it this robe.
The texture alone feels elevated, and when paired with soft lighting and slow mornings, you’ll forget you’re just steps from your inbox.
3. Elevate the Bathroom Like a Spa- But Sustainably
No complete reno required. Just swap out your threadbare towels with Cozy Earth’s Striped Bath Bundle for that spa-adjacent aesthetic.
Add a few simple touches: eucalyptus hanging from the shower head, a calming candle, a bath mat that isn’t falling apart, and your bathroom starts looking like it charges $300 a night.
Even the way you fold or hang your towels can change the feel of the space.
Think: intentional, not sloppy. It doesn’t have to be fancy. It just has to feel clean and cared for.

4. Keep the Color Palette Calm + Clean
One of the things that makes a vacation rental feel restful is the simplicity. No neon throw pillows or chaos should be in sight.
Cozy Earth’s neutral colorways help you stick to a calming palette, white, oat, gray, and sand tones that instantly chill out a space.
It’s the kind of visual peace that… works.
You don’t have to redecorate everything. Start with one area, such as a bedside table or a bathroom corner, and create your mini-retreat right there.
5. Make It Feel Like a Break
The vacation rental experience is more than just what you see; it’s about what you don’t feel. No clutter. No noise. No pressure.
Start your day slow. Pour coffee into your robe.
Put your phone on “Do Not Disturb.” We live with ours on DND, by the way.
It’s the ritual, not just the setting, that creates that vibe. Your morning routine at home doesn’t have to be the one you have while you are in “vacay mode.”
It’s ok to step away from it for a bit.
Add a little soft background music, light a clean-burning candle, and let your Cozy Earth pieces remind you that rest isn’t just for vacation.
