House Hunters on Vacation was an HGTV show that premiered in 2011 and was hosted by designer Taniya Nayak. Unlike the original House Hunters show, which focused on individuals and families looking for permanent homes, House Hunters on Vacation featured families who were going on vacation and looking for a rental property to stay in during their trip. Each episode followed a different family as they explored three different rental options in a popular vacation destination.

The show began with the family meeting Taniya at the airport, where she would give them a brief overview of the different vacation homes they would be visiting. Taniya would then take the family on a tour of each rental property, showing them the various amenities and features of each home. Throughout the tour, Taniya would offer her opinion on the property and provide design advice on how to make the space feel more like a vacation home.

After seeing all three homes, the family would sit down with Taniya to discuss their options and weigh the pros and cons of each rental property. They would then make their decision and reveal which home they had chosen to stay in during their vacation.

One of the unique aspects of House Hunters on Vacation was the competition element. After the family had chosen their rental property, they were given a design challenge to complete during their stay. The challenge was typically related to the local culture or environment and would involve decorating a room or outdoor space in the rental property. The family had a budget of $10,000 to complete the challenge, and Taniya would guide them through the design process.

At the end of the episode, Taniya and a panel of judges would review each family's design challenge and choose a winner. The winning family would receive a prize, such as a free excursion or a dinner at a fancy restaurant.

House Hunters on Vacation was a fun, lighthearted show that offered a unique take on the House Hunters format. The focus on vacation homes allowed for more creativity and design advice, and the competition aspect added an entertaining element to each episode. Taniya Nayak's bubbly personality and design expertise made her the perfect host for the show, and her interactions with the families were always enjoyable to watch. Overall, House Hunters on Vacation was a great addition to HGTV's lineup and a must-see for anyone planning a vacation.
