Rental Escapes Enables Advisors to Vacation Like Their Clients

Luxury Villa Rental Company Celebrates Three Years of Its Industry-First and Only Travel Advisor REwards Program

 

MONTREAL – (March 27, 2026) – Rental Escapes, a full-service luxury villa company specializing in providing unparalleled private villa experiences worldwide, is celebrating the three-year anniversary of its groundbreaking travel advisor REwards program. Since launching in 2023, the program remains the only one of its kind in the industry, giving travel advisors the chance to earn points on every booking and redeem them to experience the same luxury villa vacations they curate for their clients. Over the past three years, more than 80 million points have been issued and more than 90 travel advisors have taken advantage of free villa vacations. By converting sales into stays, Rental Escapes has created a model rewards performance while deepening advisors’ connection to the product itself.

 

“Giving advisors the ability to experience our villas firsthand was always the goal, but what we’ve seen over the past three years is how impactful that really is,” said Willie Fernandez, chief sales and marketing officer of Rental Escapes. “When advisors return from their own villa stays, they’re more confident, more knowledgeable, and have a full understanding of our award-winning villa experiences and service.”

 

Rather than functioning as a traditional rewards system, the REwards program is designed as a long-term value driver for advisors. With points earned for every dollar booked, advisors can seamlessly translate their business into personal travel, redeeming points for stays across Rental Escapes’ portfolio of luxury villas in the Caribbean, Europe, and beyond. This firsthand product immersion has become a defining advantage. Advisors who have redeemed their points gain a deeper understanding of villa layouts, service levels, and destination nuances, insight that can’t be replicated through brochures or site inspections alone. The result is a more personalized approach to selling, stronger client trust, and a more elevated overall vacation experience.

 

As Rental Escapes continues to expand its global villa portfolio and advisor partnerships, the REwards program remains a cornerstone of its advisor-first approach, complementing competitive commissions and exclusive promotions with a benefit that is both experiential and enduring.

 

All travel advisors are automatically enrolled in the program upon registration and begin earning points immediately with each booking. Points never expire and advisors receive quarterly updates, giving them the flexibility to plan their own villa escapes on their timeline.
