Who? What? When? Where? Why? How?
You’ve heard the saying “the world is your oyster,” and as a member of THIRDHOME, we like to think the Club is your oyster! Whether you are planning your getaway this week, next year, in a private home, at a resort, on the beach, or in the mountains, your stay can look however you want it to. As such, we’re answering questions you may be wanting to ask THIRDHOME or may still be asking yourself.
WHO?
Who do you want to go with you on your next trip? Not only that but who (countries, cities, governments, homeowners, resorts, etc.) is allowing or restricting travel, and to what extent? We encourage our members to stay informed on the locations they plan to travel to and understand what travel restrictions may look like in that area. We have some suggestions on being a smart traveler; that way, you and your selected friends, tour group, partner, or whoever you travel with, are on the way to an unforgettable (and safe) travel experience.
WHAT?
What’s new? There’s always something new in the world of travel, so we try our best to keep up. March of 2020 brought the whole world a “new normal,” and we’ve seen that it’s like the old normal, but cleaner! You are probably wondering about cleaning guidelines. As noted in our Terms and Conditions, we recommend that all members follow VRMA cleaning guidelines for their residences. If you are interested in seeing the cleaning guidelines of any of our full-service resort partners, we recommend visiting their website for what additional regulations they may have implemented.
All of this might really have you thinking about what type of accommodation you prefer, resort or private home, due to cleaning regulations or a number of different reasons. The good news is that varying travel preferences are nothing new to us. We offer every accommodation type, from full-service resort residences to private homes and private Islands, so no matter what you are looking for, there is an option for you!
And whatever accommodations you choose, inevitably, you will ask the age-old travel question, “What should I pack?” Your packing list may change from year to year or based on your destination, but some things will always stay the same. Click here to go to view our suggested packing list at the bottom of this page! Your only concern now is how many suitcases you can bring, which probably depends on where you are going, how you are going to get there, and when…
WHEN?
Whenever you are ready! In fact, members are traveling right now. Pick a date, and don’t forget about all the options and tools we have to help you find that perfect stay. Even if you aren’t quite ready to book a trip in the coming days or months, it’s always a good time to use those features and continue looking for future travel.
For those who are waiting for others to test the travel climate or a particular property – we added the “Hot property” icon. You can see homes that are booking in real-time and be assured they are active and that others in the club are also traveling. As long-time THIRDHOME members know, good weeks get booked fast! That is why it’s important to set up your saved searches.
While you are looking at availability, don’t forget to look at the latest property reviews too! That brings us to our next question…
WHERE?
Members agree, their travel shortlist is no longer a shortlist after seeing all the destinations the Club has to offer. Because it can be hard to choose what destination to go to next, may we suggest you let THIRDHOME’s current availability decide for you? In a club full of affluent second homeowners that love to travel, other members are likely to have homes in locations that you haven’t considered. There are countless hidden gems in the Club—that’s the beauty of THIRDHOME!
If we had to choose where to start right now, we would suggest a road trip or a staycation! It’s possibly the most risk-free way to travel, with no tickets and the flexibility to change plans. If you use the regional travel feature on our website, you can see what stays are near you. You can also browse stays in map view! To top it off, we also have a section on our Adventures site dedicated to quintessential USA road trips.
Finally, if you’re not sure where to turn, we suggest primary sources! We hope you have made a community within the Club. Phone a friend or call us, and a THIRDHOME team member will be happy to make some suggestions and tell you where they loved their last THIRDHOME trip and why they loved it!
WHY?
We all have a different reason for why we travel. There is one good answer as to why being a THIRDHOME member is so valuable, and that’s the ability to leverage time in your second home. In fact, taking advantage of unused time in your vacation rental property makes it an even greater asset. Whether you own a home or resort residence, don’t let time in those fabulous destinations go to waste. You already own them, and selling comes with its own challenges, so why not use them to your advantage? Between our 17,000 members we have over 1,700 destinations in 100 countries. There are so many possibilities, so don’t just settle for one or two.
Another reason THIRDHOME is a great alternative to traditional rentals is, on top of all the benefits mentioned above, it’s risk-free. Click here to check out our risk-free exchange policy. The ability to enjoy a risk-free home exchange probably only makes it harder to decide where you want to go. The way we see it, it’s a good problem to have! The only thing left to figure out is: how you plan on getting to your next destination…
HOW?
As the world changes, how we travel changes too. It doesn’t matter how you get there—plane, car, train—near or far, we are sure to have a destination and accommodations to quench your thirst for travel and meet your travel needs. These days airfare can be tricky and costly; if you’re not sure how you want to travel, maybe choose a destination where driving or flying is an option. Check out our regional travel feature, this shows stays near you; that way, you have the flexibility of choosing to drive or fly and even change your mind. Make sure you try all of our browse features. Browsing locations via the world map helps you visually see stays within an area once you decided on your ideal distance and method of transportation!
We hope that this Q&A has been helpful and that you are ready to start traveling!
As always, if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to use our most valuable tool, our THIRDHOME team!

Tips for Smart Travel
A Collection of THIRDHOME’s Travel Smarts
You’ve heard of book smarts and street smarts, but what about “travel smarts?” We consider “travel smarts” to be the perfect mix of both! THIRDHOME‘s “travel smarts” use a combination of expert travel blogs, guides, and trusted resources to help you plan and prepare for your upcoming trips with ease.
We understand that reserving a THIRDHOME trip is exciting, and you may want to dive right into booking your flights, excursions, and other itinerary-related details. But as a leader in luxury home exchange and masters of world travel, we know there is more than meets the eye when planning a vacation. That said, we paired our knowledge with that of other travel experts to provide helpful insights that we think every traveler should consider before arranging a trip. This way, we can wish you a “bon voyage” and keep you from saying “oy vey” during your travels!
Travel Insurance
What came first? The accommodations or destination? No matter what you book first, there is something to be said about the importance of travel insurance. It’s impossible to foresee what the future holds, but until then, you can protect your trip; so why risk it?
RECOMMENDED TRAVEL INSURANCE:
- Allianz – https://www.etravelprotection.com/thirdhome/home
- TripMate – http://www.tripmate.com/main/
- Travel Guard – https://www.travelguard.com/
- Berkeley One – https://www.berkleyone.com/offerings/explore/
All of these companies post their cancellation and refund policies on their websites.
ADDITIONAL NOTES ON TRAVEL INSURANCE:
- Once a destination has reached Level 3 or higher, all travel operations will cease with the majority of travel providers/tour operators/cruise lines/airlines in those countries.
- If you purchased travel insurance, then it is advised to check the provider’s policy regarding your trip cancellation to determine what will be refunded under their covered reasons. If you purchased travel insurance PRIOR to an event occurring, then you may have the option to cancel for a full or partial refund. You can call any of the providers above to inquire about “cancel for any reason” insurance. If you qualify for this more expensive coverage option, you must purchase 14-21 days upon making your initial trip deposit or booking. If not, it’s still highly recommended to consider purchasing travel insurance to cover any other unforeseen reasons one might need to cancel a trip (e.g., illness, injury, death in the family, work-related, jury duty, etc.).
- The majority of travel insurance providers will NOT cover “fear of travel” to a destination as a reason for canceling, especially if the destination they are going to has not yet been impacted (Unless a traveler purchased “cancel for any reason” insurance and has spoken to their insurance provider to verify they can get a refund).
Travel Advisories
With all that talk about “Levels”, are you familiar with Global travel advisories? There are Travel Advisory Levels 1-4, 1 being the safest, that a country can be designated at any given time.
If a country/destination is deemed unsafe to travel by either the U.S. Government Travel Advisory Division or the CDC/WHO organizations, it will be escalated to a Level 3 or higher depending on the circumstances. Below are links you can reference to find the Advisory Level of your destination.
HELPFUL LINKS:
- United States Department of State Travel Advisories
- STEP -Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (U.S. Department)
Safe & Healthy Travel
People are inspired to travel by many things, the most common one being in order to achieve well-being for mind, body and spirit. That being said, you want to make sure that your destination can provide the environment to support that. We know sometimes certain areas the world experience different outbreaks, so its best to refer to experts like the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Center for Disease Control (CDC) before you embark!
HELPFUL LINKS:
Those are just a handful of “travel smarts” we can share. If we missed something that is important and you think we should add it, please send it our way! We welcome the latest and greatest travel tips and trends from our members. Email us at memberexperience@thirdhome.com to show us your travel smarts!

The Caribbean’s best-kept secret.
THIRDHOME is excited to announce our newest partner Secret Bay Resort. Hidden in the prestigious line up of islands that starts with the British and U.S. Virgin Islands is a place you may have only heard whispers of, called Dominica. Known as the “Nature Island of the Caribbean” Dominica is home to natural wonders, species, flora and fauna and the beautiful Secret Bay Resort. You only need to venture a few islands south of St. Croix to find the Caribbean’s best-kept secret, hence the name, Secret Bay. Not only that, but this little island and grand boutique hotel, have a story that is rooted in resilience and romance.
As a partnership that had its beginnings back in 2016, THIRDHOME is excited to finally announce our long-awaited launch of Secret Bay on THIRDHOME Exchange. “We have been eager to get our members access to the island of Dominica. I have enjoyed working with Gregor Nassief, the proprietor of Secret Bay, and his team over the last 3 years to bring this partnership to fruition” says Senior VP of Business Development Roger Conner. Newly renovated and better than ever, “The Residences at Secret Bay are a rare opportunity to own a residential-style villa managed and marketed by one of the world’s most acclaimed eco-luxury boutique resorts, with demonstrated high rental demand and occupancy performance,” according to Secret Bay’s “A return on life” campaign. Secret Bay will be adding 3 types of villas for THIRDHOME members to visit: the Zabuco Honeymoon Villas,the Ylang Ylang Villas, and the Ti Fey Villa. Each villa provides views of the Caribbean Sea, a terrace with dining and lounge areas, pool, hammocks and more!
The original Zabuco Honeymoon Villa is built where proprietor Gregor Nassief had envisioned building his dream home, but instead built the perfect romantic getaway for adventurous couples. THIRDHOME guests will enjoy Secret Bay’s concierge who will create a personalized itenerary of experiences that include everything from extreme adventure activities to peaceful relaxation. Each residence has a dedicated villa attendant who is tasked with taking care of your every need during your stay, everything from preparing breakfast, to running a soothing hot bath after a day of exploring the island, and everything in between. Also included is complimentary use of all adventure equipment, including kayaks, paddle boards, snorkel gear, GoPro Hero4 – and more. Guests also have coveted access to two secluded beaches on property: Tibay Beach, located a short distance down the path from the villas, and Secret Beach, a private, golden-sand cove accessible only by water. Other fees apply and vary by villa. They are outlined on the property pages on the THIRDHOME website. Last, but not least, Secret Bay’s resort amenities also include: the Zing Zing Restaurant, Gommier Spa, Bwa Mang Wellness Pavilion, Zamann Water-sports Hut and Vetiver Sunset Deck.
Zubuco Honeymoon Villa – 1 Bedroom 2 Guests
Zabuco Honeymoon Villas I & III – 1 Bedroom 2 guests
Ylang Ylang Villas I & II – 1 bedroom 2 Guests
Tifey Villa – 1 Bedroom 4 Guests
What’s best way to get there? It’s true that Secret Bay is, “One of the world’s 7 secret Island getaways where one can lose the crowds and leave only footprints in the sand,” according to CNN. Located in Portsmouth, Dominica it exudes serenity and is situated for convenience for guests to reach. From the surrounding islands of St. Croix and St. Lucia you can fly directly into Dominica, cruise over, or sail in on an island-hopping ferry. Portsmouth is a city in the northern part of the island, near one of the island’s two airports and true to its namesake, it is a port to one of the islands two ferry ports.
