“We loved the personality and feel of Equity Estates from our first conversations, and we continue to be impressed with the homes, the level of service and how easy everyone is to work with,”
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.
THOUGHTFUL CONCIERGE SERVICES & IN-HOME PERSONAL TOUCHES
Every luxury vacation is supported by professional management and thoughtful service across our portfolio of homes. From customized vacation planning, to guided local host welcome tours and onsite support to stocked kitchens and daily housekeeping — the practical details are taken care of, so you spend your time truly enjoying your vacation.
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.
For decades, families have chosen Equity Estates to own remarkable vacation homes where they can create memories, while also seeking competitive investment returns.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
