Bathtubs can be suited to a variety of moods: relaxation, romance, and even quiet reflection, but they’re undeniably essential to self-care. One of the many things 2020 taught us is that we can always use more self-care, right? So why not add to the restorative effects of your next vacation by booking a vacation home with a soaking tub to alleviate any lingering stress. Fun fact: some studies show that warm baths can reduce blood pressure and even help boost your immune system.
If you’re due for some R&R, pour a glass of cucumber water and let us take you on a tour of eight unique bathtubs from coast to coast—and one south of the border—that put the “aah” in Vacasa.

Wrapped in a color palette of cool blues, this angular bathtub offers stunning views of the Puget Sound—so you can watch sailboats go by while you enjoy the much warmer (and calmer) waters inside.
With a vintage-meets-modern design, this en-suite bath is modeled after a European wet room, with a fully tiled, open layout for the shower and sleekly sunken tub.
