Luxury fractional real estate, such as the Hawaii properties offered by Island Fractional Homes, differs enormously from timeshares. Whereas timeshares offer benefits to those who are interested in vacationing one to two weeks a year and don’t mind competing for space at their preferred destination, high-end fractional home ownership offers some very important differences:

• A deeded interest in your vacation property, with rights and benefits consistent with any other real estate purchase;
• Generally, three or more bedrooms and more square footage;
• A significantly higher level of luxury furnishings, services, and amenities;
• The security of knowing that you can return year after year to your own private residence;
• A much greater chance of long-term property appreciation (compared to timeshares, which have historically lost value after the initial purchase);
• A greater number of weeks spent at your private vacation home;
• Lower annual ownership costs;
• Also, all-important decisions are made by you, the owners of your property, not by a corporation, developer, or property management company;
• You have pride of ownership.
