Designed exclusively for luxury second homeowners, 3RD HOME’s pioneering paradigm provides a level of added value that cannot be obtained through any other home exchange program or destination club. 3RD HOME’s partnerships with world renowned residence clubs and resorts, ranging from the Trump International Hotel & Tower in New York City and The Reefs Hotel & Club in Bermuda to Esperanza, an Auberge Resort in Cabo San Lucas, provide 3RD HOME members with an opportunity to exchange their homes for stays at full-service branded properties. 3RD HOME memberships are endorsed to affiliate property owners as well, which enables them to exchange unused time at their residence to access over 1,300 vacation homes and villas featured in the 3RD HOME portfolio.

Created to fill a need expressed by second home owners, 3RD HOME affords members a safe and trustworthy way to "expand" the use of their second homes without the hassles of renting. By depositing weeks in their second homes into the club, members earn 3RD HOME keys, which can be used as currency to immediately reserve a stay in a property at any time.
