Own a Villa or Condo. Share the Cost.
Introduction to Co-Ownership
What is it & How Does it Work?
Co-ownership is a innovative approach to luxury vacation home ownership. It allows multiple individuals or families to share ownership of a high-end property, splitting the costs and responsibilities while still enjoying exclusive access to the villa or condo. This unique model provides an affordable and flexible way to own a tropical property, without the financial burden of sole ownership.

Understanding Co-Ownership
Co-Ownership or Fractional Ownership is a collaborative approach to asset ownership, where multiple individuals share ownership of a single property. Each co-owner holds a percentage of the asset and shares in the benefits, responsibilities, and potential long-term appreciation.
This innovative model offers a unique blend of personal use and investment opportunity. For instance, co-owners of a luxury vacation property can enjoy exclusive access to the residence while also generating revenue through rentals. To ensure seamless management, fractional ownership arrangements are typically facilitated through a professional property management company, responsible for maintaining the property’s upkeep and overall condition.
It is NOT TIIMESHARE! You are a titled,
partial owner of the property, with set
usage weeks allotted to you as per the
number of shares in the property you
purchase.
