THIRDHOME has joined European Holiday Home Association as an affiliate member.
THIRDHOME is the premier property and travel club for owners of luxury second homes. Since the company´s founding in 2009, THIRDHOME has empowered holiday home owners to exchange unused time at their own property for stays in like-minded members´ homes throughout the world. In more recent years it has added iconic resorts and high-end residential developments to its pool, like The Ritz-Carlton Destination Club® and The Four Seasons. Such partnerships, continually bolstered by others in the works, allow members to more carefully tailor their travel experiences to their personal needs and desires. With so many possibilities available, THIRDHOME is leading the pack in crossing traditional accommodation/category lines to offer owners of holiday homes exactly what they need: options.
THIRDHOME is pleased to work with top-tier rental companies around the world to help them stand out in the marketplace and gain the competitive edge by offering their clients a unique home exchange opportunity. For VRMs, THIRDHOME is a commission free booking channel opportunity that will bring in an affluent audience to their portfolio of homes, increase occupancy rates by securing bookings for weeks that would otherwise have remained empty, while also driving other incremental guest service revenue. In addition, THIRDHOME is eliminating issues related to existing or future holiday rental legislation and taxation as member exchanges are not considered direct rentals because no money is exchanged between homeowners. Last but not least, VRM’s will also be able to integrate their portfolio of homes on the THIRDHOME luxury rental platform, through THIRDHOME´s API and pay no commissions.
THIRDHOME is optimizing growth in European markets and offering even more incentives to join now. VRMs, suppliers and luxury second home owners are invited to learn more by emailing here.

Carlos Villaro Lassen, Secretary General of the EHHA, said: “It´s terrific to have THIRDHOME on board in the EHHA. By going back to the heart of home sharing THIRDHOME is creating value to both holiday home owners and rental companies. Just as holiday home owners are always looking for more ways to get value out of their properties, vacation rental mangers are eager to provide added value for their clients. No holiday home is rented 52 weeks a year, so property managers can feel confident offering their home owners the possibility to take advantage of the time their property is not rented. Furthermore, THIRDHOME is eliminating issues related to existing or future holiday rental legislation and taxation as member exchanges are not considered direct rentals because no money is exchanged between homeowners. Good and fair regulation of the holiday home industry is important to growing the value and market for people’s homes and for tourism in Europe.”
EHHA was founded in 2013 by some of the biggest holiday rental industry players in Europe. Its membership consists of managers’ associations, trade associations and national and international companies operating in Europe.
