Owning a vacation home sounds nice in theory. Having somewhere to escape and relax at a moment's notice is something most people daydream about. But unless you have a third party managing the needs of your home, it's less dreamy than you might think. In short order, your second home can become a second job.
Typically, a second home comes with a host of headaches for the owner. You bear 100% of the responsibilities for landscaping, irrigation, cleanup, property damage, and security — and that's just the outside. Don't forget about cleaning, laundry, repairs, replacements and stocking all the necessary items on the inside of the house. That's sure to cut into your vacation and relaxation time.
There's a better way to enjoy your vacation property. When you're an owner of an Ember home, the burden is non-existent. Yes, you read correctly. You and up to seven other owners enjoy the perks of the property and Ember takes care of the maintenance and all the hassles.
Maybe you've heard about this concept before. But if you haven't tried Ember's approach, you don't know what you're missing. They've taken steps to make this as easy and enjoyable as possible.
You might be thinking this sounds like a timeshare. It's most definitely not a timeshare. Ember homeowners enjoy true equity in their homes.
True ownership where you have equity
Here's how it works: As a one-eighth owner, you share the cost of the property with up to seven other owners. That means you shoulder one-eighth of the cost of the home, the property taxes, utilities, repairs, fees and more – instead of the full amount. Ember's proprietary app makes scheduling your stays 100% equitable for all owners (e.g., holidays).
As for all the outdoor, indoor and property maintenance, you hand that over to Ember. That's right — you do none of it. When you free yourself from the stress and pressure of managing a luxury vacation home, you gain the space to actually enjoy your stays. No more wasting time working on house projects or issues!
And if you truly want to get away from the Utah snow and inversions, Ember offers a variety of destination options. On top of locations in St. George, Park City, Bear Lake and Southern California, Ember recently expanded into the 30A area of Florida.
With Ember's co-ownership model, you can buy a luxury vacation home in portions—and only pay a fraction of the cost. Each Ember home is divided into eight parts. Co-owners get 44-plus nights for every part they purchase. Owners looking for maximum time can buy up to half of the home.
Each buyer enjoys exclusive access to the home during their stays and can even let friends and family vacation there if they can't use all the time.
Ember's innovative approach to vacation homeownership promises a five-star experience from start to finish—free from hassle and disappointment. If you've ever stayed at an Airbnb that didn't live up to expectations, you know it only takes a few things going wrong to ruin a vacation.
Co-own your dream vacation home at a fraction of the cost with no hassle
Scheduling your stays is flexible and easy. Owners can book a last-minute stay for the next day or up to two years in advance. Ember's mobile app makes sure each co-owner can access the home equitably—and no one can monopolize the calendar. Ember even guarantees holiday stays and a seven-night booking for every co-owner during peak seasons.
Ultimately, Ember's co-ownership model was designed for one thing: to help more families enjoy hassle-free vacations in beautiful homes—that they own, not rent. Start by browsing the available properties and find the perfect vacation home for you. Then talk with an Ember advisor to get all your questions answered and finalize your purchase. You'll be able to book your first stays and arrive at your Ember home in as little as 24 hours. The New Year could bring a new vacation home where you and your loved ones can start building amazing memories.
