Customer reviews
“We are absolutely head over heels for Ember and the entire team and the value they have provided for our family. We love the co-ownership model, and the white glove fully managed home by the team. They simplified the decision making process around investing in a vacation home from a “build vs buy” decision down to “simply use and enjoy.”
Google Review“Ember’s support, from their sales reps to their finance department, are second to none. All very quick at responding to questions and very professional.”
“We absolutely love the co-ownership model with Ember! We can actually enjoy vacationing instead of worrying about all of the property maintenance. The property is professionally decorated inside and out. Yet it completely feels like our second home. Not to mention they have a concierge who is SO helpful in making it a great stay.”
