Our architect was a THIRDHOME member and suggested we join.

We are based in Muscle Shoals, Alabama.
Who do you usually travel with?
Ourselves or another couple or two.
What do you do for a living?
I am a luxury home builder.
What are your favorite travel hobbies?
We really enjoy exploring new surroundings and laying out in the pool. Also, dining would be high on the list! Just relaxing!
Where will you travel to next with THIRDHOME?
Not sure yet. There are so many great places now that it’s hard to choose! Jamaica or somewhere out west (United States) probably.
What do you love most about your property with THIRDHOME?
That whenever we deposit weeks, they are taken up rather quickly.
Compared to other exchange and rental platforms, how has your experience been hosting other THIRDHOME members?
Everyone has been very thoughtful of our property and they seem to enjoy the quaintness of the area.
Any personal/family achievements you’d like to share?
We have received several regional awards for home building in the Southeast.
How has THIRDHOME changed the way you travel?
We have been able to travel to places we never thought of at a fraction of the price.
What is the nicest amenity you have encountered while staying at a THIRDHOME property?
Wow, not really sure. They each have their own special amenities that complement the location.
What makes a THIRDHOME stay so special?
Each place just feels like “home” with very relaxing atmospheres.
How is staying in a THIRDHOME different than other types of accommodations?
You are staying in someone’s second home which is sometimes better than your primary residence!
How would you describe THIRDHOME to a friend?
If you have a second home you NEED to be in THIRDHOME! It’s just that simple!
What’s the most memorable restaurant you’ve eaten at during one of your trips?
Our favorite restaurants are probably the Lavender Bistro in LaQuinta, California, and Asolare in St. John U.S. Virgin Islands, which sadly was very badly damaged in a hurricane last year.
Relax and pack light!
