WHAT ARE THIRDHOME MEMBERS SAYING ABOUT THEIR LUXURY HOME EXCHANGE TRIPS (TO COSTA RICA AND WYOMING) THIS WEEK?
This stunning villa in Joy de Costa Rica is located on a picturesque cove about halfway between the Caribbean fishing villages of Cahuita and Puerto Viejo, and only 2 kilometers south of Cahuita National Park. The villa’s large indoor and outdoor living spaces and six deluxe suites offer a luxurious but relaxed Caribbean flavor. You won’t have to lift a finger with the retreat’s private chef, daily maid service, night guard, golf course staff and concierge who can facilitate all of your vacation desires. Don’t forget to check out the beautiful saltwater pool, which not only has exotic views of the jungle but also views of the beautiful Costa Rican sunsets.
THIRDHOME member Greg says, “What makes Joya so unique is you really see howler monkeys every day, hear them every morning, enjoy toucans and parrots (and a variety of other gorgeous birds) in the trees around the villa, and hear the sound of the jungle every night!” click here to read more of Greg’s review.
Situated in the tranquil valley of Jackson, Wyoming, the Eagle’s Nest Lodge sits on four acres of land with spectacular views of the Teton Mountain Range to the west.

With 5 bedrooms, a chef’s kitchen and grand living room with a beautiful stone fireplace, this home is perfect for entertaining family and friends. The lodge is conveniently located only ten minutes from the Jackson Hole Mountain Ski Resort, which was once regarded by Forbes as the number one resort in the United States. From fly fishing, mountain biking, skiing and horseback riding, there are activities to please every guest and create a vacation experience you will never forget.
THIRDHOME member Roderick says, “Our first trip using THIRDHOME was our best family vacation to date. Great use of the hot tub, indoor fireplace and outdoor fire pit. [The] Living room was our place to hang out and catch up on life and our travels for the day in the area.” click here to read more of Roderick’s review.

3 curated trips bound to bring you together as a family
Baby doves typically leave their nest after eleven days and become flighted after four more days. That means that with an average lifespan of two years in the wild, baby doves spend around 2% of their existence with their family. By contrast, humans spend over six thousand days with their family before they are “flighted”– nearly 23% of their life is spent in the nurture of their parents. We have so much more time with family than the ill-fated dove, but why does it seem so short? In the flash of an eye, family life can simply become family memories and those memories are painted by those shared family experiences. THIRDHOME has curated three experiences across three continents for you to share with your family. They’re bound to leave a lifelong impression.
1. Alaska: The Last Frontier
Explore Alaska: Beyond your Dreams, Within Your Reach
Set up base camp at the beautiful mountaintop Alyeska Resort for a week’s worth of wilderness adventures. Take a relaxing float trip down the Portage River to observe hanging glaciers, moose, bison and elk. The day after, cruise the Kenai Fjords National Park to catch a glimpse of the majestic humpback whales, orcas and sea lions. Climb aboard the Alaska Railroad GoldStar Dome train to get a panoramic view of the unspoiled countryside. You can also journey by float plane to the Redoubt Bay Bear Sanctuary and witness the free roaming Brown and Black bears while relaxing at a rustic frontier lodge.
