You promised to take on the monumental task of planning the next family reunion, but this summer has crept up on you faster than your Uncle Tony’s muscle car. Instead of shelling out a fortune to book a block of hotel rooms with no private common area (where are the Rummy 500 games supposed to take place?), reserve one of these massive Airbnbs, and then call all the relatives and let them know you’ve got it under control.

If a secluded getaway is more your pace, head to the 110-acre private island of Saint George, three miles off the coast of Maine.

Win-win.
