In 2008 the travel industry changed forever. It was then that a little service out of San Francisco called Airbnb launched, allowing both homeowners to rent out extra space and travelers to find affordable accommodations around the globe. Since then, it’s grown into one of the largest startups in the world and has us all lusting over our dream homes across the planet.
Over the last 10 years, Airbnb has amassed more than seven million listings across 100,000 cities in 220 counties. While there are excellent listings everywhere, there are a few people wishing for more than others. Check out the nine most wished for Airbnbs over the last 10 years below, and maybe just go ahead and book one so you can stop wishing and start traveling right now.

The four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home sits perched above its own private beach along the coast of Brazil. Though its mid-century modern interior is certainly stunning, the real star of the show are the floor to ceiling windows and the wrap-around deck so guests can take full advantage of the gorgeous view.
