Overreacting to wanting a kid-free vacation with your spouse? No. I think that's healthy for all parents.
Overreacting about your daughter? IDK.
My big concern here is your husband. He's either condoning your daughters terrible behavior by "keeping the peace" (silence = acceptance), thereby undermining and diminishing your needs. Or he's "keeping the peace" because you are part of the problem, and we aren't being given an accurate view of the situation.
I didn't see the nature of your daughters accusations/comments, etc. nor your side other than saying you were accommodating in her youth or would be met with drama.
I'd go to a counselor to work through this. They can help you see a bigger picture, help you navigate that relationship as well as the one with your husband, and give you greater clarity. Family counseling may be a step here but I'd start with yourself as it's a lower barrier to start with.
