FAQs

  • What is a resort residence?

    Resort residences combine the space of home plus the services of a hotel. They offer the spaciousness and necessities of a private vacation rental with the comfort and convenience of onsite check-in, housekeeping, and full-time staff. These resorts are often in the most desirable locations and offer additional amenities.

  • Why have I never heard of resort residences before?

    Historically, in order to access resort residences, you literally had to OWN one (or part of one), outright or through a fractional, vacation club, or timeshare deed. The great news is that these amazing accommodations, perfect for family travel, are now increasingly available for rental!

  • Where do the resort photos and information come from?

    Each resort presented on Vacatia has been carefully researched by our Vacatia "like family" team. We visit resorts often and even work with resort management to identify the "Things You'll Love" and other interesting specifics about each resort.

    If the resort does not have up-to-date quality photography, we commission unique resort (exterior) and residence (interior) photographs that are exclusively presented on Vacatia. We also create custom floor plans (with bed layouts) for each resort residence type, for our guests' convenience.

  • Where can I see guest reviews of Vacatia and your resorts?

    Vacatia displays TripAdvisor Traveler Ratings and a link to specific reviews on each resort information page. Vacatia guests can also review their experience with Vacatia and their resort at Trustpilot or Facebook.

  • What is "Vacatia Guest Care"?

    Vacatia Guest Care's mission is to assist our guests to make planning their vacation as fun as being on it, with the same care as we would if helping our own family.

    • Helping You Decide

      We are available via live chat, or over the phone at (855) 858-3950, to answer any questions you have about any of our resorts, their residences and amenities, or nearby activities.

    • Offering You Flexible Payment Options

      We have FOUR ways to book now and pay now... or later. 1) credit card, 2) Apple Pay, 3) Pay with Amazon, or 4) up to twelve-month financing. In many cases, we can also hold your booking for up to 48 hours while you finalize your family travel plans.

    • Coordinating with the Resort

      We communicate any special requests, monitor the weather, and follow up to assure maximum happiness — all to ensure you have a memorable family vacation.

    • Special Occasions

  • Does Vacatia offer military, travel agent, large group or extended stay discounts?

  • Who is actually renting out these residences?

    Currently, listings on Vacatia are posted and priced from available inventory by each resort's management, assuring quality and availability. Upon arrival, you can check in at the front desk (just like a hotel). No keys hidden under the flower pot!

  • Can I book these residences online right now (just like I would a hotel)?

    Absolutely, you can instantly book your rental! Vacatia handles the payment and coordinates any details with each resort. No worries... With Vacatia there is no need for the typical back and forth communications and paperwork with owners that is sometimes required on private vacation rental sites.

  • Do you have family vacation guides?

    Vacatia has developed interactive maps and worked with local travel bloggers and photographers to provide you with local knowledge about Maui, Myrtle Beach and Orlando.

  • Does Vacatia have a "Best Price Guarantee"?

    You bet! If you're able to find a better price on Vacatia or another U.S. based website after booking your resort residence with us, there's no need to cancel and re-book.
