'''Amazing Vacation Homes''' is a documentary-styled homestead and travel program on the [[Travel Channel]] that debuted in 2004. The first two seasons of the show (largely considered the better seasons) were hosted by likable [[Tom Jourden]]. In 2006, hosting duties were taken over by [[Didiayer Snyder|Didiayer Snyder]], who most fans found to be quite pompous and annoying. In short, the star of the show during Jourden's hosting was the houses, while the star during Snyder's hosting is Snyder herself. The host change, in addition to the fact that each show now covered only two homes instead of three, resulted in each show seeming tedious and repetitive rather than fresh and exciting.

==Synopsis==
Amazing Vacation Homes focuses on regional homes from around the world which are typically perceived by the American masses as being "bizarre", "unique", or of course, "amazing". In each episode, the host focuses on the homes of a particular country, region, or style. Jourden allowed the owner of the house to show a camera crew around most of the houses, allowing the inhabitants to explain the wonders of the houses. Snyder instead chooses to go to each house herself and tell the cameras, with some help from the owners, why she thinks the house is great. The program typically shows how the home is procured and where it is located before touring it.
