“Barbiecore” is a hot trend characterized by vivid pink hues, based on the aesthetic of the iconic Mattel doll that has been an indelible part of pop culture since 1952. And while primarily seen in fashion, Barbiecore can also be incorporated into home decor.
If the aesthetic speaks to you and you’re looking for a late summer holiday spot (or want to plan for next year), Vrbo has several fun pink rental properties all around the U.S. that have a total Barbie vibe.
Scottsdoll Dreamhouse, Scottsdale, Arizona
In sunny Scottsdale, you can enjoy a dip in the pool even in early fall, especially when it’s a heated pool like the one at this luxury rental. This photogenic house has everything you need for an influencer-worthy vacation. The backyard, with views of Camelback Mountain, has a private bar, grill, covered patio, hot pink mural, and neon sign. There is also a photo booth room just off the kitchen with a life-size pink “doll” box where you can pose in your Barbiecore glam.
Inside, there’s a full-sized lip-shaped sofa, neon signs and a high heel-shaped chair. The house has four bedrooms, two bathrooms and all the amenities.
You can rent this Barbie vacation house starting at $350 per night for up to 12 people.
Think Pink Cottage, Panama City Beach, Florida
The soft pastels of this cottage just yards from Panama City Beach have a retro look reminiscent of Barbie’s vintage era (think powder-blue eyeshadow, soft blush and pale blonde hair). This sweet two-bedroom, one-bathroom bungalow is fully equipped with a kitchen, smart TV, washer and dryer, grill and even an outdoor shower to rinse away the sand from frolicking at the beach.
You can book this Gulf Coast Barbie house for up to five people from $99 per night.

If Barbie and Ken settled down and wanted to enjoy a holiday close to entertainment and activities but away from the beach scene, they might choose to vacation here.

Luxuriously furnished and fully equipped, this home offers access to a lush garden and a private terrace.

It’s not a beach house, but this gorgeous Victorian home is Barbie to the core. With four bedrooms and five baths, this 4,400 square foot “castle” includes a workout room, Wi-Fi and a cabin-style attic that can hold three beds in each wing.
The walls in every room are covered in shimmering shades of pink, purple and teal, and every room has a theme. Splash and relax in the heated pool and hot tub or serve drinks in the “Coochy Cabana Pool House,” equipped with a lounging sofa, a bar area and a TV.
