4 Ways to Create a Vacation Spot in Your Backyard

Who said taking a vacation meant that you had to go away? Sometimes all you need is some creativity and a backyard! Here are four ingenious ways to transform your yard into a jet-set-worthy destination.

  1. Decked Out Pool Time

It’s not as simple as just having a pool — it’s also having pool floats, chairs for sunbathing, sparkling beverages and snacks, and anything else you can think of to add some vacation ambiance. A pool is only a few steps away from becoming a tropical oasis, so it’s the perfect way to have immaculate vacation vibes in your own backyard.

  1. Hammocks and Comfortable Chairs

Is there any backyard furniture more suited for vacation than the hammock? All you need is a beautiful day and some free time, and you feel instantly transported to a place that feels nothing like the average home. 

Add comfy outdoor chairs on your deck with a beautiful pergola, and you can enjoy time outside in any weather. You can even give your deck a facelift with professional deck staining to really convince yourself you’re somewhere new!

  1. A Fire Pit

Fire pits are a simple but effective way to give your outdoor space a unique touch. This gathering spot quickly becomes the place where everyone wants to go to get away, share stories, relax under the moonlight, and char marshmallows to a crisp. 

A fire pit is also a fantastic investment that is easy to get up and running, so you don’t have to wait another summer to tell that campfire ghost story you’ve been holding on to.

  1. An Outdoor Kitchen

Grilling out is one thing, but a fabulous three-course dinner with wine at sunset? That’s something that’s reserved only for vacation, right? Not anymore — homeowners with outdoor kitchens can make every breakfast, lunch, and dinner all the more special by building an outdoor kitchen and dining space.
