Peace of mind owners wouldn’t want to be without

What does it mean to own holiday homes together with others? Most people immediately see the advantages of sharing costs and getting more for their money. But when owners describe their experience in their own words, it is not only the obvious benefits that stand out. It is also the sense of calm, ease and freedom it has brought into their everyday lives.

It is an experience shared by many owners and one that points to a value that only truly becomes clear once you have spent time living in the homes yourself. Our latest customer survey supports the positive ownership experience owners describe. Satisfaction with both the homes and the concept is above 90 percent.

Less planning, more holidays

One of the biggest differences is already noticeable before departure. Planning simply takes up far less time than it did when owners were searching for holiday rentals and booking hotel stays.

“There is much more peace of mind because we no longer spend time searching for our next holiday. There is also a greater sense of calm while we are away. And knowing that we will return means that whatever we do not get to experience on one trip can be saved for the next.”

It changes not only the preparation, but also the desire to travel more often. When the surroundings are familiar, the decision to go away feels easier, opening the door to more stays throughout the year.

“Our ownership has changed the way we holiday by giving us more freedom and flexibility. We can travel more often, enjoy extended weekends and longer stays, and feel at home even when we are away.”

Quality you can rely on

For many owners, it is also about trusting what awaits them. Not just the first time, but every time.

“We love having ‘our own’ homes abroad without having to deal with all the practicalities. At the same time, we know we can always look forward to holidays in a home of high quality. We have often experienced the opposite when renting.”

There is great comfort in knowing exactly what awaits. Homes with a carefully considered aesthetic, high-quality finishes and interiors that feel just as beautiful in reality as they do in the photos.

“With MyHomes, we can enjoy wonderful holidays in beautiful surroundings, far beyond what we would otherwise be able to afford, and completely without hassle.”

A more relaxed way of travelling

However, it is not only the ease of planning and preparing for the next holiday that makes a difference. Owners also describe how, once the stay begins, the days naturally fall into a different rhythm.

“Our MyHomes ownership has changed the way we holiday by giving us more freedom and flexibility. It feels more relaxed than traditional hotels and makes holidays more personal and spontaneous.”

For many, it is not about doing more, but about doing less and enjoying it more.

“We travel more than we used to, and it feels far more relaxing because we feel at home and no longer rush to fit everything in.”

It creates a different sense of calm during each stay and a greater freedom to simply take the days as they come.

Feeling at home rather than just visiting

Owners also place great value on returning to something familiar. This applies both to the homes themselves and to the surroundings.

“We feel more like locals than tourists, and the homes truly feel like our own. We do not think about the fact that we share them with others. Everything looks exactly as we left it the last time.”

That familiarity creates a sense of comfort and belonging from the very moment of arrival.

“It has made the entire holiday experience wonderfully uncomplicated, while still giving us the feeling of being at home in every location.”

The stays become less about being a visitor and more about naturally belonging. Knowing the local wine merchant and having a favourite restaurant creates a special feeling of being local among the locals.

A value that grows over time

The fact that the true value becomes clearer over time is perhaps not something most owners think about from the beginning.

“MyHomes has brought a value into our lives that we did not expect: a stronger sense of calm and connection. It has given us more quality time together, fewer practical concerns around holidays, and a feeling of richness in experiences rather than planning and stress.”

It is not only about spending more time away, but about a completely different approach to holidays.

More than holidays …

When owners talk about their experiences, it is not only the stays themselves they highlight. It is very much about the overall experience and the freedom that comes with it:

Making it easier to prioritise time away from everyday life
Spending less time planning
Knowing exactly what they have to look forward to

In other words, it is a way of holidaying that is not only about where you are, but about how it feels.
