The platform behind every partner brand

A founder-led network
60+ elite brands sharing what works. At this scale, there is very little the group hasn't already solved once.
In plain terms
What is Awayday?
Awayday partners with leading local vacation rental management companies in the United States. Each company keeps its own name, team and market knowledge, and gains the capital, technology and central support of the wider group to grow.
Together, the Awayday brands manage 17,000+ units across 15 states, from Gulf Coast beaches to Rocky Mountain ski towns, and host 1,200,000+ guests a year. We have completed 60+ partnerships since 2021, and the group is founder-led: over 30% of the company is held by the founders who joined it.
Local brands, national support
A vacation rental business is a local business. Crews have to be nearby, and rates have to follow the rhythm of a specific town: the beach weeks on the Gulf Coast, the ski season in the Rockies, the lake summers in between. That local knowledge is the asset we are building with, which is why every partner brand keeps its own name and its own team on the ground.
What the group adds is the part that is expensive and slow to build alone. Shared distribution, revenue management priced against live demand, enterprise technology, and central finance, HR and marketing teams. Founders who join stop carrying the overhead of running a company and go back to running their business.
Who This is For
Founders and owners of vacation rental management companies who are weighing what comes next: partner and grow, or a full exit with the team and legacy intact. Every conversation is confidential and moves at the pace you set.
We also hear from capital partners, lenders and advisors working in vacation rental M&A, and from operators who want to work inside the group rather than sell to it. Our partner with us page goes deeper on structures and process, our footprint shows where we already operate, and contact us puts you in front of a real person, ready to talk to you.
