The Most Seductive Airbnb Rentals

This romantic A-frame in the wilderness of New York is tailor-made for couples looking for the ultimate privacy. Sultry touches abound throughout the property, from the ruby red Adirondack chairs and floral arrangements to the kiss mark decal on the cabin door. Things start to heat up indoors, where the tiny single room is decked out in black silks and cheeky furnishings. While the "half-bath" is closer to an outhouse, it's a small price to pay for some proper alone time.

This rental is a romantic honeymooners’ dream with a seductive secret. The upper floors of this summer-camp-style cabin feature clean, modern furniture, twin lounge chairs surrounded by flowing curtains on the deck, a personal sauna, and a massive hot tub underneath a ceiling of hanging flowers. However, a quick pass through the basement door brings guests to the Red Room—a self-described "pleasure dungeon," lined with mirrors and fully equipped for your own Fifty Shades fantasy.

This tiny cabin tucked away in the trees is a dreamy escape. Couples can enjoy the beauty of nature outside and in, with exposed wood beams and natural tree trunks as part of the building's construction. Enjoy an intimate spa session with the outdoor sauna and shower set up, or relax side by side at sunset in the twin outdoor tubs.

Do you love books enough to sleep with them? That’s the question posed in the first line of the description for this literary lakeside rental in New York. This is the perfect property for couples or an ideal solo stay for a bookworm looking to cozy up with their latest sultry read. The stained glass feature window, antique touches, and books crammed into every corner give the cabin a haphazard charm worthy of a romance novel.

While many spicy rentals take a tongue-in-cheek approach to their naughty theme, the beachfront Black Room in Le Havre, France, is sleek, sexy, and modern. Black marble accents and ambient lighting create an expensive atmosphere à laChristain Grey (you'll find a full set of the books displayed on the rental's shelves). The apartment includes a double jetted tub big enough to lay in, flat-screen televisions, a projector, and a massage table in the living room.

Princesses, knights, and castles are the stuff of fairytales and high romance, so why not book yourself a stay in a real-life castle? Built in the 15th century, this stone structure is a short drive from the sweeping Cliffs of Moher and the ferry port to the Aran Islands. The interior is rich with medieval stonework, spiral staircases, arched doorways, and prominent stone fireplaces to fuel your royal fantasy.

This cottage in the Normandy countryside is all about turning up the romance. The terracotta-tiled kitchen and dining area have just enough room for two to squeeze in next to the roaring fireplace. Guests can unwind in the double jetted tub or indoor sauna, both lit in sensual blues and pinks. The main attraction—aside from the gorgeous French scenery surrounding the property—is the pink bedroom, complete with rose-patterned wallpaper, a ready-to-use massage table, and a bed strewn with rose petals upon arrival.
