Looked after from the first luxury vacation to the final return.

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“We were spending nearly $15,000 a year on vacation rentals. With Equity Estates, we have a chance to recoup our investment rather than put it in other homeowners’ pockets. Instead, we are the homeowner, and we are assured every home is in the best location in each destination.”

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.”

“Our personal concierge adding unique experiences is such a joy. Having someone there locally to guide us through vacation is so extraordinary. Each location goes out of its way to make it special for whatever the group is.”

“The consistency and quality of the homes is amazing. The properties are top of the line for each location, meticulously maintained and well stocked with everything we need.”

“The white-glove service, expansive and high-quality homes, and the seamless process from start to finish are the things that set Equity Estates apart.

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.”

“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.”

“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.” 

“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.”

“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.”

“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 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 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,”
