Niche rental companies are cropping up to address travelers’ hyper-specific needs, whether that means a house with a high chair or a condo with a concierge. Here, four we love.

**For the first-time renter:** [**BeMate**](http://www.bemate.com/)  
 If you can’t give up daily housekeeping and a concierge, consider Room Mate Hotels’ new peer- to-peer site, which lists rentals in 150 cities so far. Each shares resources with one of the company’s hotels or partners.

**For the stylish urbanite:** [**Onefinestay**](http://www.onefinestay.com/)  
 This brand lists chic properties in London, Paris, New York, and L.A. (Four more cities are in the works.) Stark white linens and an iPhone loaded with tips deliver a luxury-hotel feel.

**For the family:** [**Kid & Coe**](http://www.kidandcoe.com/)  
 Here’s proof that “kid-proof” doesn’t have to mean blah—even in places like South Africa and Kerala, India. Listings include details like whether or not there are baby monitors and the distance to the nearest park.

**For the five-star hotel loyalist:** [**Private Residences by SLH**](http://www.privateresidences.slh.com/)  
 The 42 chalets, villas, and yachts are as luxe as you’d expect from SLH. The best part: one booking makes you a highest-tiered member of the loyalty program.
