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.
