Not all ways of enjoying a luxury home are created equal. While co-ownership, timeshares, and vacation rentals may appear similar on the surface, what you actually own and what that ownership represents is fundamentally different in each model.
Understanding these differences is essential before committing capital, time, or expectations.
Co-Ownership: Real Ownership with Long-Term Value
With co-ownership at Casana, you are a true owner of a real asset. Your participation represents a legal share of the property, structured through a real estate management trust that protects each co-owner’s rights.
This means your investment participates in the property’s appreciation, you hold legally defined ownership rights, you can use, lend, or rent your allocated dates, and you may sell your share when you decide to exit. Co-ownership blends the advantages of real estate investment with the ease of professional management.
Timeshares: A Right to Use, Not to Own
Timeshares provide access to a property for a specific period of time, but not ownership of the property itself. You do not own the land, the home, or an appreciating asset.
While some timeshares offer attractive locations or services, they typically do not generate equity or appreciation, are difficult to resell, and limit flexibility and control. The experience may feel luxurious, but the ownership is intangible.
Vacation Rentals: Access Without Commitment
Vacation rentals offer flexibility and convenience, but they are purely transactional. You pay for access, enjoy the stay, and leave without any long-term value created.
There are no ownership rights, no equity, and no financial upside beyond the experience itself. Rentals are ideal for occasional travel, but they do not build anything lasting.
Why Casana Stands Apart
Casana’s co-ownership model combines true ownership, luxury hospitality, and professional management. Every Casana includes full-time staff, daily cleaning during stays, and concierge-level service, without sacrificing the fundamentals of owning real property.
It is not just about staying somewhere beautiful. It is about owning intelligently.
