Exotic Estates Quality Vacation Rentals

Exotic Estates Company History

Exotic Estates offers a boutique collection of fine vacation homes and villas. We strive for quality over quantity and specialize in Hawaii, our home base since 2006. In the years since launching our service, we have expanded our collection to include quality vacation homes in other places, including Cabo, the Caribbean, and the ski resorts of Colorado and Utah. Our homes range from Family-Friendly to Elite Luxury rentals.

Unlike the large listing websites that are indiscriminate about the homes they list and represent, Exotic Estates is consciously a boutique business, focused only on representing vacation rentals we know will meet the needs and demands of the most discerning travelers. Quality control is of paramount importance to us, and is our greatest value proposition that we can deliver both travel agents and their clients.

Working with Exotic Estates...has been a good experience for us. You are always thorough on your searches, willing to help and your response times are really good, even outside of office hours! You are able to provide unbranded PDF's, which is very helpful, your inventory in Hawaii is pretty extensive and the cost breakdowns are very detailed and clear.
