Definition: A home used for personal recreation or seasonal occupancy; mixed personal and rental use can trigger special federal tax rules.
Example
An owner rents a beach house for part of the year and also uses it personally.
Keep the distinction clear
Personal-use days, rental days, and whether the property is treated as a residence affect reporting and deductions. The phrase vacation home alone does not determine tax treatment.
