Who doesn’t love the idea of a perfect getaway – whether it’s enjoying stunning mountain views, running by the beach, or simply having a place to relax with loved ones? Owning a vacation home offers more than just a place to stay; it’s about creating lasting memories with friends and families to enjoy adventures that are always within reach.
The landscape of second-home ownership has evolved significantly. Today's vacation properties aren't just for the wealthy; they're for families looking to build traditions, remote workers seeking flexibility, and outdoor enthusiasts wanting reliable access to their favorite destinations. With options ranging from traditional ownership to newer sharing models, finding the right fit for your lifestyle and budget has never been easier.
Let’s dive into the benefits of owning a vacation home.
Be it a private place to enjoy or the getaway that you want to connect and explore, a vacation home isn’t just a getaway; it’s a place to create memories. Fractional ownership makes it easier than ever to own your slice of paradise.
Buying a fractional vacation home gives you a dedicated space to escape when life feels overwhelming. It’s a personal retreat where you can break from the daily grind. There are almost 2.64 million second homes in the US for seasonal, recreational, or occasional use. These homes can be a place for peace and relaxation, reminding you to slow down and enjoy life. You can make it your own a cozy reading nook with a mountain view or a playroom for family time. No matter how busy life gets, your vacation home is always there to help you unwind and recharge.
No more dealing with sold-out hotels or high peak-season rates. Owning a fractional vacation home makes spontaneous getaways easy. Whether it’s a last-minute ski trip to Utah or Colorado or a summer escape to Arizona, your home is always ready when you are. You can plan and schedule to book slots for your vacation home any time of the year. Need a change of scenery to work remotely for a week? Your space is there whenever you need it.

Owning a vacation home lets you become part of a new community. From Friday night football games in a mountain town to regular visits to the beachside farmers' market, you’re not just passing through; you’re part of the neighborhood. These connections turn you from a visitor into a valued community member. You’ll get insider tips on the best hiking trails, invitations to local cookouts, and access to hidden gems only the locals know.
A vacation home sets the stage for lasting family traditions. Whether watching Fourth of July fireworks from the deck, Thanksgiving trips with everyone gathered for a delicious meal, or summer camping in the backyard, it becomes a place where memories are made. It’s where grandchildren learn to fish, holiday recipes are shared, and milestone celebrations feel even more meaningful. These moments turn into stories passed down through generations.
Your vacation home offers more than just a change of scenery – it's an opportunity to embrace a different lifestyle. During winter, your home could be a base camp for skiing, snowboarding, and cozy evenings by the fire. Come summer, the same property transforms for hiking expeditions and starlit dinners on the deck. The rhythms of your vacation home area – from seasonal festivals to local traditions – become part of your family's life story.
What to Know Before You Buy a Vacation Home?
Owning a slice of paradise comes with important details to think about beyond the dreamy mountain views and beachfront sunsets. While creating memories in your home away from home, you'll want to plan for yearly maintenance, utility costs, and seasonal upkeep needs. Different states have varying requirements and local considerations, so chatting with community members and real estate experts can provide valuable insights. Whether you're considering a secluded cabin or a bright coastal retreat, understanding these essentials helps you make an informed choice that aligns with your long-term vision of creating a cherished family gathering place.
While the idea of owning a vacation home may sound appealing, it also entails significant financial commitments, including substantial upfront costs and ongoing maintenance and upkeep. Co-ownership offers an attractive alternative for those seeking the benefits of vacation home ownership without the full burden of individual responsibility.
In America, nearly 15% of people have co-owned homes to enjoy the luxury at a fraction of the cost. You can schedule time throughout the year, such as reserving your time slots for the perfect seasonal getaways. You can also enjoy the benefits of sharing the home's full price, maintenance costs, and your roles and responsibilities with other co-owners. It's like being part of an exclusive club where everyone values creating beautiful memories in desired places.

Loved this house! Close to the center of everything but far enough away for privacy and peace and quiet. We loved sitting on the back covered patio in the afternoon/evenings and looking at the great view of the lake and green scapes.
The hot tub was perfect for after an activity filled day.
The place was clean except for one thing and I contacted the company and they took care of it right away and made it right . We loved staying there and would definitely stay there again. Great location . The only thing I didn’t like was there were two air conditioners right outside the master and at night they were noisy while I was falling asleep but once I was asleep
They didn’t bother me .
What an experience!! The ease of driving up and everything was ready for us. Not just a rental experience but the wonderful feeling of owning the property we vacation in. The team at FRAXIONED is so helpful and always available to handle any needs we have, big or small. we own three shares in two different properties and it is one of the best decisions we have made for our family.
This home is no doubt the best AirBnB I’ve ever stayed in. The location is perfect and the amenities are outstanding. If you’re looking for a place to stay in the area you have to look here. Our group of 12 had plenty of space for golf trip. Easy access to the courses we stayed and we found plenty to do. We would absolutely return to this home in the future.

I honestly thought this place was too good to be true. Until we showed up! Everything was just like the photos, and there was so much to do INSIDE the house, that no one was ever board. We came in for our wedding and had out entire wedding party stay with us. Day of the wedding, i stayed on the 2nd floor playing games the whole time while the bride got ready on the 1st floor (since we couldn't see each other until the ceremony). Everything was neatly laid out and the instruction on how to work the pool/check-in were very clear. This was the best Airbnb i've ever been too, and my friends/family loved everything about it!
What a dream! Ownership with Fraxioned is sensical and hassle-free. We just bring our clothes and get a clean, beautiful home fully ready to dive into our vacation; every time. The rental income has also been very nice to cover the expenses and has been an easy investment to track.
My husband and i had been looking for a good "starter" investment. We wanted to start and airbnb but it was just going to be such a big expense. Fraxioned was the perfect solution, because we were able to purchase 1/8 of a home, instead of the whole thing! Dan Henry sold us a share of a beautiful home in Bear Lake, and he was so nice and easy to work with! He was always available to answer questions and send over information. Definitely would recommend Fraxioned to anyone who is wanting to get into real estate investing, without having to spend your life saving to do it!
