If you want to camp out over the water, a boat just won’t cut the mustard. The Lilypad is the brainchild of Australian designer Chuck Anderson, and it’s pretty damned decadent. Located just north of Sydney in Palm Beach, the Lilypad has an expansive living area with untrammeled views of the water, kitchen, wine cellar, bathroom, and a bedroom loft. But you’re not just relegated to the luxury digs since the Airbnb rental comes with paddleboards, fishing gear, and a jetty to the adjacent beach. Occupants can also avail themselves of the home’s 24-hour concierge service for massages on the Lilypad’s deck. As soon as you’re able to break out of your home, this might just be the first place you’ll go.

Huckberry’s Essential Holiday Gift Guide
Unzip your coat and have some mulled wine on the house—you’ve arrived at your final gifting destination: The Holiday Gift Guide. It’s like your friendly neighborhood one-stop holiday shop, except instead of balsa wood ornaments, ours is packed with thoughtful gifts for everyone on your list. Future heirlooms, small-but-significant stocking stuffers, and gear for getting out there (or staying in)—are all right here. There’s no music playing in the background though, so you’ll just have to hum Bing Crosby while you click around instead.
