TESTIMONIALS

Guests and owners love Wander

But don't just take our word for it. Hear what they have to say for yourself.

"Wander is just so luxe..."

Britni and Daniel from Brookly are repeat Wander guests who have booked several stays in just a handful of months. After taking their first trip to Wander Cave Creek for Britni's birthday over the summer, they planned two additional getaways to Wander Hudson Valley – just outside of New York City.

A “no brainer” for these homeowners

Three months after launching Wander Big Sur Coast, homeowners Chris & Maryam shed light on their experience and why Wander Operated is "a no brainer".

OUTPACE THE COMPETITION

Supercharged performance

Wander performance background mobile

According to AirDNA, the leading data provider for vacation rentals, average daily rates were down by 1.3% across the country in 2023 relative to 2022, while average occupancy decreased by 5.4% relative to 2022, illustrating how increased supply of vacation rentals post-pandemic has created a strain on performance across the industry.

Wander’s portfolio, on the other hand, posted strong results throughout 2023, with same-store ADR growth of 15% across the portfolio and overall market outperformance of 181%.

On average, Wander homes outperform their competitive set on total revenue by 20 – 30%.

Looking ahead to 2024, Wander’s portfolio is strongly positioned to outperform 2023, with occupancy already pacing 4% ahead.

Case Study: Surfside Beach

Wander Surfside Beach is an 8-bedroom, 9-bath oceanfront home in historical Myrtle Beach, which Wander acquired in August 2022. At acquisition, the property was owned by a prominent local vacation rental manager who had booked out the 2022 peak season.

After acquisition, Wander fully outfitted the property with smart home technology, workstations, and an upgraded FF&E package, then began a marketing campaign to drive bookings for 2023.

Wander was able to grow ADR by 61% during the 2023 peak season. So far, for the 2024 peak season, Wander has been able to grow ADR by 10%.

Wander Bandon Beach is a 2-bedroom, 2-bath home located along Oregon’s scenic coastline in Bandon. Built in 2020, the property has a modern coastal aesthetic rendered with glass and wood, and offers stunning, uninterrupted views of the Pacific Ocean.

The property was not an existing short-term rental at acquisition. Wander converted the home into a cash flowing asset upon acquisition and was able to grow ADR by 52% during the 2023 peak season. So far, for the 2024 peak season, Wander has been able to grow ADR by 24%.
