WHY IT RATES: Rental Escapes credited travel advisors for their large contributions to the company's strong performance in the first half of the year.—Patrick Clarke, TravelPulse Senior Editor


Rental Escapes, a full-service luxury villa company specializing in providing unparalleled private villa rentals worldwide, is proud to announce its record breaking start to 2023. Since the beginning of the year, Rental Escapes has experienced a rapid growth of sales as a result of its exceptional travel advisor support. To accommodate its growing portfolio, Rental Escapes has expanded its team, invested in technology, and moved into a new state-of-the-art office in Montreal.

“From the start of 2023 we have seen an immense amount of growth in bookings, resulting from the satisfaction of guests and the tools we provide our most trusted travel advisor partners,” said Brian Schwimmer, chief executive officer of Rental Escapes. “We plan to carry this momentum forward throughout the rest of 2023 and beyond, continuing to lead the luxury villa rental market and remaining steadfast in our support of travel advisors.”

This year, Rental Escapes has seen exceptional demand for its luxury villa rentals, a result of its expanded portfolio and development of new tools to help advisors. The growing demand has resulted in new hires and therefore the need to expand its office space. Rental Escapes’ new headquarters in Montreal, Canada provides the perfect environment for driving innovation and fostering relationships, while also allowing for continued future growth.

Rental Escapes’ strong performance in the first half of the year is due in large part to travel advisors. Most recently, the company has strengthened its commitment to travel advisors by launching a revolutionary rewards program. Through the first-of-its-kind rewards program, advisors now have the opportunity to earn rewards points when they book villas for clients that can be used for their own vacations. These initiatives have helped to increase the number of advisors booking through Rental Escapes, thus leading to exceptional bookings throughout 2023.

“With the revolutionary rewards program, monthly newsletter, a white label site, live monthly webinars and opportunities to participate in Wednesdays with Willie, the support Rental Escapes provides is astounding,” said Gabrielle Eichstaedt of Jetset World Travel. “It is clear that the team understands what advisors need and ensures a positive experience for everyone involved in the travel process. Working hand-in-hand with Rental Escapes’ team ensures my clients have the ultimate unique experience.”

Rental Escapes’ remarkable start to the year showcases its resounding growth and unwavering commitment to delivering unforgettable villa rental experiences. By continuing on this trajectory, Rental Escapes remains at the forefront of the industry with providing exceptional support to travel advisors and guests alike, ensuring one-of-a-kind vacations.
