“All of the arrangements are handled in advance, so there’s no wait time. There’s no stress. No work to be done while you’re there because it’s all been taken care of. It’s nice to have all these things at your fingertips and not have to worry about anything.”

“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.”

“All of the trips have been special, spending time with family and friends. And we love the fact that we know the level of house and experience we will get before booking, regardless of where we’re going.”

“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.”

“One thing that stands out is how quickly you get to know all the other investors on the trip, and by the end of the expedition, you feel like you have made a group of new friends. It was great to see many of the couples we’d met on the Rhone River Cruise again on the Dolomites Ski Trip, and we know that we will be meeting some of them again on our next cruise.”

“Transfers, accommodations, tours, activities, reservations, tips — everything is taken care of for you. Your only job is to enjoy yourself. The Equity Estates team will do all they can to make sure that all of your needs are met.”

“With Equity, everything is set up just right – the stocked groceries, personalized activities, and the Local Host’s recommendations. Plus, the size and quality of the homes are also unmatched. It’s truly an elevated experience.”

“The planning is superb – We don’t have to do anything but show up. And the activities are top-notch. One thing we always think about is keeping up. [These trips] are non-stop and fun. When we travel, we usually like to be lazy, so this is a little faster pace for us. But we wouldn’t trade it for anything because everything is so much fun.”

“All of the Expeditions are amazing, but Dolomites stands out because our adult children went too and it was fantastic. Our kids said it was the best vacation they’ve been on, and they’ve traveled a lot.”

“The safari expedition was an incredible experience. It was our first time taking a trip like that. We saw the Big Five game all on day one, the game reserve camps were just amazing, and the entire vacation was the perfect balance of activity and relaxation.

It was fantastic! Truly one of my favorite trips we’ve ever taken.”

“We liked that we’d be able to travel to different places, stay in beautiful homes, and have an off-ramp at the end with a potential return on the investment. The model just worked for us. As soon as we walked into the home, we knew we’d made the right decision.”

“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,”

“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.”

“I consider this an investment in time together. It’s a great deal and it forces you to stop and take the time to plan meaningful time together in beautiful places.” 

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.”
