Vacation Rentals Around the World Inspired by the 2019 Oscars

With the buzz surrounding this week's Oscar's ceremony still in full effect, (Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper's duet alone will likely have people swooning for weeks and months to come), there's no better time to review some of the unique and drool-worthy vacation rentals available around the globe that draw inspiration from this year's nominees and winners. While none of these properties appeared on the silver screen, they each share some commonalities with the movies that got award nods this year.

A modern take on old Southern charm, this historic Vacasa rental, known as Silver Lining 1898, would have been an ideal resting place for Dr. Don Shirley and Tony Lip during their cross-country road tour. Since the early 1900s, this Fredericksburg, Texas home has stood tall and proud, serving first as a primary residence, then as a bed and breakfast to welcome people from different walks of life. The five bedroom, four-and-a-half bathroom home is located in Texas Hill Country, which is a charming and picturesque region of the state known for its wineries, craft breweries, wildflowers (in the spring) and much, much more.

If you were taken by the artistic beauty and heart-wrenching emotion in Alfonso Cuarón's Roma, a movie that won awards fo Best Cinematography, Directing and Foreign Language Film, then consider a stay in the heart of Mexico City at this cozy Vacasa property known as Alvaro and discover the award-winning film's namesake - the colonial La Roma neighborhood. Prices for the apartment rental range from just $61 to $229 per night.

While it's no Wakanda like in the award-winning film Black Panther, the Western Cape in South Africa is full of natural beauty and there's plenty to explore, including the Bloukrans Bridge - home of the world's highest bridge bungee jump. While there, stay at this luxury beach villa in Cape Town that's fit for royalty, including many modern touches that we hope Shuri would approve of.

A Star is Born took home the award for Best Original Song. Should we discuss the Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga duet again? The internet is still on fire about it. This rental, called Designer's Dream, is located in Indio, California, which for those paying attention is where Jackson and Ally performed together. A getaway perfectly suited for a star, Designer's Dream allows guests to go off the deep end and dive in...to its heated pool. And with four bedrooms and three bathrooms, there's also room for your entire entourage.

This refined log cabin, called Timber Wolf, is just a short drive from the Colorado Springs Police Department where Ron Stallworth made a name for himself by infiltrating the KKK in 1978. Walk the same streets in the town that Ron did and visit historic sites featured in the film, which took home the statue for Best Adapted Screenplay.

Under pressure? Blow off steam and vacation like famed singer Freddie Mercury in this rock-inspired cottage retreat. Strum on the guitar by the fireplace and take a relaxing stroll across the home's private acre of land. The Artist's Retreat, as it is aptly named, is located in Bainbridge Island, Washington, a city in the western part of the state that's connected to Seattle by ferry. The home has two bedrooms and is surrounded by old growth trees and lovely gardens. Inside you'll find artwork, antiques and a spacious, open floor plan.

Looking to experience British aristocracy without breaking the bank on an international flight (or marrying a prince a la Meghan Markle?) Live like Abigail Masham in this enchanting brick castle known as The Brooklyn Estate, where you can enjoy comfort and privacy. The West Ocean City, Maryland rents for between $222 and $521 per night and includes five bedrooms and four-and-a-half baths.

Still in shock over Christian Bale's Dick Cheney transformation? You, too, can feel vice presidential in The White House located in Galveston, Texas. A historic home and cottage, the property features seven bedrooms, a private deck, and patio. An added bonus: the site where Cheney accidentally shot Harry Whittington is only a drive away, for those who are into that sort of history.
