PURPOSE-BUILT VACATION HOMES

an in-demand product

A “purpose-built vacation home” is a property that has been designed and constructed specifically with the intention of serving as a vacation residence, rather than as a primary, full-time residence. These homes are built with features and amenities that cater to people who are on vacation or a quick weekend getaway, offering features that enhance relaxation, entertainment, and ease of maintenance. When planning a purpose-built home, many attributes need to be considered and included in the build in an effort to efficiently “check all the boxes”.

What defines a purpose-built home?

Many attributes needs to be considered and included in the build of a “purpose-built home” in an effort to efficiently “check all the boxes”.

Location:

They’re typically located in popular vacation destinations, such as near beaches, mountains, lakes, cultural sites, tourist attractions, or in secluded, scenic areas.

design:

The design of purpose-built vacation homes emphasizes comfort, relaxation, and leisure activities. This should include open-plan living spaces, large windows for scenic views, balconies, patios, or decks.

Amenities:

These homes may include amenities like hot tubs, pools, outdoor grilling areas, fireplaces, home theaters, or game rooms—features that are particularly attractive to vacationers looking to relax and entertain.

Furnishings:

Vacation homes are often sold or rented fully furnished, with everything from furniture to linens to kitchenware included, so vacationers don’t need to bring these items with them.

Maintenance:

It is recommended to have these properties under professional management with services that take care of maintenance, landscaping, and security, reducing the burden on the owner, especially when they’re away.

Rental Potential:

Purpose-built vacation homes are often designed with the rental market in mind, providing owners with the possibility of renting out the property to other vacationers when they’re not using it themselves.
