Thanks to the rapid growth of real estate development in the luxury vacation industry over the last 10 years, buyers have opened the door to explore the world of luxury vacation ownership, fueling the traveler’s demand for luxury vacation rentals. Discerning travelers have always appreciated traditional villa rentals usually found in France and Italy, and have selected high end vacation rentals for special occasions. However, the wide variety of real estate options available today gives travelers a new concept of modern villa rentals, which come in the form of luxurious vacation homes, condos, condo-hotel units, and fractional and residence club properties, most with a variety of hospitality options.

As the first hybrid club concept to hit the market in 2007, Private Trade Winds maintains the goal of helping travelers enjoy the various options presented to them. The inclusion of a full-service licensed travel agency and concierge booking service makes villa travel easier than it has ever been before. A quality branded product along with the ability to listen intently to what the luxury traveler wants and needs has strengthened our commitment to excellence, and has defined our concept of what a 5-Star Villa Vacation ought to be. We are seeing a growing interest in this type of travel as luxury vacationers are coveting the modern conveniences of space, privacy, service and security. As the economy continues to improve, this will quickly become the preferred choice of travel on a regular basis, not just for special occasions.

Real Estate Agents and Developers worldwide can partner with Private Trade Winds to introduce this concept to their buyers and sellers, and maximize the value of the vacation homeowner’s asset(s). We have the ability to create custom options, and bring mutual benefits and rewards to capitalize on this type of partnership. Historically, prospective vacation home buyers have a piqued interest when they learn of this added incentive, and are anxious to take the next step in moving forward to close the sale.

    I've worked both with Exclusive Resorts and with Private Trade Winds in the past as a consultant. First, Private Trade Winds is a really wonderful, and more logical, alternative to the private residence clubs. As brokers, it's much easier to work with Private Trade Winds as their clients are still buyers and sellers in our respective markets. With the other residence clubs, the cost of participation is so high that they may take prospects out of the market. The PTW team is very nice to work with as well. The response by my clients to my efforts on PTW's behalf were met with mixed responses. I think it is a concept that has great value, but their entry into the market place coincided with the beginning of the recession. Glad to see they are still around and hope other brokers see the value and unique approach to travel that they provide.
