Most families generally have only so many weeks of vacation time each a year, so unless you vacation significantly more than 5 weeks a year, a Club Membership is a substantially less expensive way to have the equivalent of that second or third home.
Our example: A $2,000,000 second home versus a Platinum Distinctive Holiday Home Membership.
Assuming a deposit of 20% on the home $400,000, you would have mortgage payments, of $121,356.00 pa (based on a 30 year loan at 6.5% pa). You would then have to furnish the home, which could be at least a further $100,000.
Other costs such as property taxes, expenses such as power, water, insurance, landscaping etc would be in the range of $45,000 pa.
To own this second home you would have to invest up front at least $540,000 and then cash flow more than $172,000 pa. In addition, you then would still have to pay for the food, the drinks and service.
If you joined the Club on the Platinum Plan:
It would be $299,000 to join, and Annual Dues of $29,900 (remembering you get 80% of the Joining Deposit back). Distinctive Holiday Homes provides the food and beverage, a vehicle, does all the cleaning and laundry for you, we are there to help plan your holiday and activities, and you get many places to vacation each year instead of just one, for at least 5 weeks each year, with the ability to make additional unlimited Space Available Bookings from just $550 per night.
You are staying in an ever-expanding array of amazing homes, driving the cars, eating the food, drinking the wine, and enjoying the service, in 3 to 6 bedroom homes with your family & friends for a fraction of the upfront costs of your own holiday home and spending around 15 % of the annual costs.

Distinctive Holiday Homes is a different kind of investment. You will not get back more than you spend in actual dollars.
However, as the cost of property increases over time so will the price of New Club Memberships. Those that join early at current prices will enjoy the benefit of an ever-expanding array of Destinations, without need of any further contribution to their Membership Deposit.
