Invest in together.

The real estate investment for people who value luxury vacations.

Start the conversation

When you care about how you vacation, traditional options fall short. Second homes tie you to one place. Rentals and hotels cost more every year and deliver less every time. A smarter vacation home investment puts that capital to work — delivering real returns and real time together.

Equity Estates is a luxury real estate investment firm with a different approach. Through private funds with defined exits, investors share ownership and use of a diversified portfolio of premium vacation homes in the most sought-after destinations.

Every home is selected for lifestyle appeal and long-term value — and must meet Equity Estates standards before it ever joins the portfolio. Thoughtfully planned for gathering, professionally managed, and ready when you are. So you can stop managing the logistics and start being present for the people you brought together.

REMARKABLE VACATION HOMES, DESIGNED FOR GATHERING

Every home reflects the Equity Estates Signature — thoughtfully acquired, improved, furnished and fully provisioned with every kind of gathering in mind. The result is a home that feels ready the moment you walk in, and one you’ll want to come back to.

HELD TO A
HIGHER STANDARD

Before a home ever becomes part of the portfolio, it must meet requirements for location, lifestyle appeal, and long-term value. The Equity Estates Signature ensures the best experience today, while safeguarding and increasing value for tomorrow.

We know that every year, getting everyone together gets harder.

Since 2006, we’ve made sure together always has a home.

For decades, families have chosen Equity Estates to own remarkable vacation homes where they can create memories, while also seeking competitive investment returns.

Where every vacation ends with you anticipating your next one.

With 65+ destinations across 25 countries, Equity Estates’ vacation home investment portfolio opens the door to remarkable experiences. Whether it’s a cousin-palooza, a reunion with friends, a romantic getaway, time to hit the slopes, or relaxing on the beach, there’s a place waiting for you.

The benefits behind each investment fund:

Defined Liquidity Path.

Each investment fund has a defined timeline for when its homes will be ultimately sold. Home sales trigger the return of capital contributions first, then the lion’s share of any profits to investors. Learn more about the investment.

Aligned Interests.

Every fund is structured to put investors first, with annual financial audits and transparent governance. Operating costs are passed through and shared equitably among fund investors. Upon liquidation, eighty percent of profits are distributed to investors before any performance compensation is paid to the Managing Member. Learn more about the investment.

Best in Class Availability.

We operate with owners in mind, ensuring access and availability to our homes with best-in-class targeted occupancy rates of 57% — allowing investors to book when and where they want across our portfolio of homes.

Vacation in any home across any Fund.

Your ownership unlocks instant access to luxury vacation homes across your fund and the entire Equity Estates portfolio, giving you the freedom to choose where and when you vacation. Explore all destinations.

Dedicated support for every vacation.

Support is personalized by design, from the moment you begin planning through your return home. We go beyond dinner reservations, generic excursions, and ground transportation. Our team crafts and executes itineraries custom-catered to you and your preferences. Learn more about the experience.

Exclusive access to one-of-a-kind Expeditions.

Designed for groups of like-minded investors, these one-of-a-kind journeys offer rare access and shared experience—from safaris on land and at sea to powder-skiing in Japan to culinary exploration of Portugal and more. Explore upcoming expeditions.

Danny and Laura Palmer

“We were blessed to be able to travel to Equity Estates properties before investing, so we were aware of the beautiful properties, the amenities, and the special service provided by the Equity Estates team early on. That definitely helped us make the choice to become members ourselves.”

“We looked at everything from timeshares to fractional ownerships, to buying with the intent to Airbnb, and they all had significant risks, downsides, or just didn’t feel right. While doing that research, we actually stumbled across Equity Estates through Google searching. It was almost too good to be true … all the benefits of home ownership, but with variety and upside on the investment.”

“Not only was there a clear exit strategy and potential financial return, but we’d also get to visit a lot of different destinations instead of going to the same place each year, stay in beautiful, spacious homes while there, and enjoy hassle-free travel with a company that’s clearly geared towards vacations and family.”

Loren: “Equity Estates just made the most sense, both the financial and the travel components. We were great believers in the program from the start, and the EE team continues to deliver on and exceed our expectations on all levels.”

Mindelle:  “We like that it’s not a timeshare as much as a shared investment, with a variety of homes in a wide range of destinations, providing opportunities for international as well as domestic travel. It was exactly what we were looking for as a family.”

Bill and Lisa Conquergood

Bill: “We get to try new places that we may not have considered visiting and stay in beautiful, spacious homes that are always perfectly located. The homes give comfort. They’re luxurious, safe, and in nice communities with great amenities. It’s the foundation that allows us to really relax and have a good time.”

Lisa: “It’s not a cookie-cutter experience; each home feels unique and matches the destination. In St. John, for example, there were shells in the walls, which our local host said is a traditional architectural technique on the island. It’s fun to discover what’s cool about each of the homes. Plus, because you’re in a neighborhood, in a real home, you feel more like you’re a part of the community while you’re there.”

“The Equity Estates homes were a step up from what we were seeing elsewhere, and the destinations were great. We also appreciated that only investors would be using the homes; they wouldn’t be rented out. And that there’s a relatively date-certain exit plan since homes are sold around the 10-year mark, with the possibility of investment appreciation.”
