Booking a home shouldn't feel like a gamble
Exacting standards
A property joins our portfolio only after a rigorous screening process covering location, quality of accommodations, access to amenities and the responsiveness of its management company. Homes that stop meeting the standard are removed.
Dedicated agents
From your first call through the last day of your stay, your agent acts as a personal advocate and adviser — whether that is an issue with the property or a restaurant recommendation.
Extensive local knowledge
Our agents live, or have lived, in the areas they represent, so wherever you stay you get an insider’s perspective on the area.
Superior search capability
Our search helps you explore thousands of pre-screened homes by destination and requirements. A Villa Specialist confirms availability for your dates and helps narrow the right options.
Don’t just book the advertised rate. Let Emerald Kite negotiate for you.
Our Villa Specialists can work directly with a property’s management team or owner to try to obtain the best available rate for your specific dates.
Rates depend on dates, length of stay, guest count, season, availability, demand, promotions, fees, and owner or management flexibility. No particular rate or savings is guaranteed.
