Inspired by Airbnb's sharing economy business model, Vacatia is a travel booking platform that caters to large family units. The familial vacation website connects users to large resort-style residences across the United States and Hawaii when hotel rooms or rented apartments just don't provide enough space.
Whether travelling with kids in tow or vacationing with in-laws and grandchildren, Vacatia users can access comfortable and central resort residences wherever they choose to travel. Currently, this platform caters to those travelling to Maui, Myrtle Beach, Orlando and Phoenix to name a few and lets users enjoy resort-style amenities at a fraction of the price.
While purchasing a multiple room package or apartment works for smaller groups, a large family unit can appreciate a space that includes both communal and private areas.
