The Evolution of Vunique Vacations

Since 2016, we have been curating vacation experiences in the Florida region. What began as a love of the area and the building of our own family homes expanded into a company that designs with the traveler in mind and offers exceptional vacation rentals with service as distinctive as the homes themselves.

But, we felt we could do even better.

This realization came through our own experience as travelers. We began to notice what we felt was missing in our own vacation stays.

We also noticed that today’s traveler was more discerning. They were seeking the extraordinary and the memorable not only in their destinations but in the places they stayed. Perhaps it was during the Pandemic when our surroundings became our universe.

And, so, we asked: Why shouldn’t the place you stay be as magical as the destination? Why shouldn’t the place you stay have everything you could possibly need or want? Why shouldn’t it be as comfortable and as accommodating for your pet as it is for your family? Why shouldn’t you have the space to prepare a gourmet meal and invite all of your closest family and friends to enjoy it?

Our Team of Experts

Our Vunique Vacations team of hospitality professionals has been cultivated and created with the same attention to detail as our luxury homes. Each member of our team has expertise in the vacation rental industry while also offering recommendations for the best things to do in this wonderful area. Take a minute to meet our team.

Why should you ever have to compromise?

We’re constantly striving to raise the bar when it comes to providing our guests with exceptional vacation experiences. We’ve curated a network of partners and achieved industry recognition that underscores our dedication to quality and customer satisfaction, like holding Superhost and Premier Host status, as well as our partnerships with two prestigious platforms: Plum Guide and StayOne.

To earn Airbnb Superhost status, our properties must consistently deliver exceptional hospitality, maintain a high rating, and receive positive reviews. We go above and beyond to provide our guests with memorable stays. Holding Premier Host status with Vrbo reflects our commitment to providing outstanding vacation rentals and experiences. This status is earned through our dedication to delivering top-notch service, excellent property management and maintaining consistently high guest satisfaction.

All our Vunique Homes meet Plum Guide’s strict quality standards, reflecting our commitment to excellence. Plum Guide features only the top 1% of curated vacation rentals worldwide. Our properties have passed through Plum Guide’s meticulous vetting process to ensure they meet the highest standards of comfort and luxury. Each of our properties undergoes individual verification and meticulous quality checks to hold StayOne status. We do this to ensure that they meet not only our high standards but, most importantly, yours. We aim to provide you with nothing but the best.

Not only do we partner with elevated Online Travel Agencies, ensuring seamless bookings and top-notch service, but we’re also honored to be recognized with esteemed accolades, like the Traveler Review Award from Booking.com!

In addition to our partnerships and recognitions, we continuously seek to enhance your vacation experience. Beginning with key questions, we’ve identified ways to improve amenities, expand possibilities, and elevate the outstanding vacation rental experiences we already offer. As proud members of VRMA and FAVR, we stay informed about industry developments, adhere to the highest industry standards, and continuously improve our services to better serve you.

Vunique Vacations is the culmination of these ideas.

Featuring beautiful custom design, large bedrooms, expansive kitchens, a dining seat for every guest, an outdoor oasis with every home, and stunning views, you could say that every Vunique Vacations home is truly a breathtaking experience…..for those seeking to take a breath.

While our primary goal for Vunique Vacations is to provide the highest level of experience because we would want it that way ourselves, we also know a relentless pursuit of excellence is how we will beat the competition. Providing unparalleled service, being exceptionally responsive, anticipating your every need, and acting as your personal host, while still giving you the privacy you seek…is how we will endure and increase the reach of Vunique Vacations as a notable vacation brand. We deliver these standards while simultaneously creating a name that is synonymous with where the most discerning travelers choose to stay in Florida and beyond.

Residential Homes Built with Vacationing in Mind

Our homes provide all of the comforts of home, in some of the most beautiful locations in the world. The exterior of our homes offers a private oasis for you to enjoy, whether you are taking in the sunset on your rooftop deck, or taking a dip in your luxurious heated pool or spa. All of our homes are professionally landscaped and maintained, using native plants, trees, and specimens to lessen the need for harmful fertilizers and excessive water consumption – all of which improve our footprint.

The interior of our homes are built to achieve the ‘wow’ effect. Almost every bedroom has a private en-suite bath with luxurious tile work and beautiful fixtures and finishes. Our homes are professionally decorated and maintained monthly by our interior designers, maintenance and engineering teams, and our professional property managers. Our homes are equipped with fully stocked kitchens, interior and exterior dining to accommodate the home’s occupancy, multiple living areas including club rooms for entertaining, and maximized views from every room or balcony including our coveted rooftop decks.

All of our homes have uniquely curated amenity packages, including pool amenities like water slides, sun shelves, swim-up bars, beach entry, and waterfalls of varying design, along with robust multimedia packages, rooftop – balcony – and covered patio outdoor spaces, interior and exterior bar and lounge spaces, putt-putt golf courses, gaming consoles and other family game options, and so much more to make vacationing easier and more fun for you as well. We also include amenities like bikes, kayaks, paddleboards, beach chairs, beach towels, coolers, beach carts, outdoor refrigerators/freezers, and more. Ready to see for yourself?

Professional Housekeeping

Our Vunique Vacations cleaning standards exceed expectations much like our homes. Vunique provides high-quality cleaning supplies to our housekeeping team that ensures the killing of bacteria, fungi, viruses, and other harmful substances in order to protect your health and safety. As an added measure we also only contract with licensed and insured professional housekeeping companies.

Upon guest departure, our housekeeping teams thoroughly clean every home using the provided cleaning supplies to meet the requirements of our thorough housekeeping checklist. Upon completion of their clean, our housekeeping teams communicate the status of their clean to their inspecting supervisor, and together they inspect the home to document and correct any outstanding issues found. Following this step, the inspector notifies the Vunique team that the home is ready for the Vunique Vacations Housekeeping Inspectors to perform their walk-through inspections.

Our Vunique Vacations Housekeeping Inspectors start their process by reviewing the housekeeping team’s checklist. Using this document, our inspectors confirm that the housekeeping team has completed their cleaning process and our inspectors make note of any feedback items left by the housekeeping team. Then, our housekeeping inspectors complete their own walk-through of the home and their own thorough inspection checklist. This inspection is very thorough, and it mirrors the housekeeping team’s checklist to ensure proficiency in our cleaning. Our housekeeping inspectors are required to take photos, make comments, and thoroughly document the housekeeping process for our homes.

After our housekeeping professionals approve the clean, they notify our property managers that the home is ready for the property managers’ final walk-through. Prior to the guest’s arrival, a Vunique property manager will conduct a walk-through of the property as an added level of quality control. If there are any deficiencies found, our housekeeping team is called back to correct the issues. If no issues are found, our property managers prepare the home for our guest’s arrival. The final phase of our quality control process is actually meeting you, our valued guest, at the time of your arrival to walk you through the home to make sure you are satisfied with its condition, and that you’re aware of how to operate its mechanicals and amenities to ensure a wonderful vacationing experience.

By providing the cleaning supplies, requiring specific cleaning practices to meet our rigid housekeeping standards, and conducting a multi-level quality control inspection process with a final walk-through with you – the guest, we can ensure a complete and consistent cleaning process at every home before every guest arrival.

Included Services:

In addition to in-home housekeeping, Vunique Vacations makes it a priority to stay up to date on the latest cleaning offerings for our guests, whether as add-ons or included services.

Bins Be Clean – This local trash service ensures that our trash and recycling bins are seen but never smelt. This is an eco-friendly service that conveniently takes place in the Bins Be Clean mobile unit. All trash and recycling bins, at all Vunique homes, are cleaned by this service on a monthly basis
Pressure Washing – Vunique contracts with a locally owned and operated pressure washing company to service our homes at a minimum of 2x a year. This service includes the entire home exterior, as well as balconies, patios, furniture, fencing, windows (with screens removed), exterior walkways, etc. Additionally, our in-house Maintenance team also performs pressure washing services on a monthly and as-needed basis.
Bi-Annual Deep Cleans – This 3-day service takes place 2x a year. When coupled with the thorough departure cleaning, inspection process, and monthly maintenance programs, these deep cleans ensure that everyone experiences the same elevated accommodation when they stay with Vunique.

Add-On Cleaning Services

Vunique is committed to staying up to date on the best cleaning practices to ensure the health and safety of all of our guests. This includes our offerings of add-on cleaning services such as mid-stay cleans, linen change-outs, or even daily cleans, which incur additional fees.

Mid-Stay Cleans are required for guests staying with Vunique Vacations for longer periods of time (14+ days), but any guest may add this service to any reservation, regardless of their length of stay.
Daily Cleans are available for our guests to request. These cleans can be partial or full and can accommodate requests such as linen changes, floor/counter cleanups, or an entire home clean.
Linen Change Out is available by request. Vunique can refresh your linens at any point of your stay.

*If you would like to add any of these services to your reservation, you can do so at any time before or during your stay. Simply reach out to our team or your property manager to communicate your request, and they will coordinate any custom pricing based on your requests and set up a time for this service that best fits your schedule. *

Commitment to Sustainability

Not only are our guests a top priority, but having the least amount of environmental impact is top of mind when we break ground on a new home. In fact, The Oasis recently became our first Green Certified home, with all of our other homes currently in the certification process.

Professional Linen Program

Vunique’s professional linen program ensures that the sheets you cozy up in each night will never leave you questioning their quality or cleanliness. We employ a ‘triple sheet’ process like many of your favorite luxury hotel brands. We provide premium luxury linens that have been used for nearly 80 years in the most exclusive hotels in Europe and the Americas. Likewise, our bath towels are built to last, offering a size that fits everyone and quick-dry technology that still provides a soft feel when you wrap up.

Unlike most vacation rental companies, our high-quality linens are not laundered at our homes between reservations. Instead, all of our linens are professionally laundered at an off-site commercial laundry facility by professional laundry attendants. This facility utilizes OZONE systems, which provide 100% sanitization of all linens laundered. Upon a guest’s departure, all of Vunique’s linens are removed from the home, including, bedding, sheets, towels, and kitchen towels, and, they are replaced with a new set of linens for the incoming guests.

In addition to our extensive linen cleaning procedures, our bedding is also equipped with mattress, box spring and pillow protectors, which are quality control checked, sanitized, and laundered on a schedule.

Security and Smart Devices

Vunique Vacations uses E-Locks, E-Thermostats, Door Sensors, Noise Monitoring (reduces compliance complaints and citations, as well as protects the guests against false calls/complaints), and Security Cameras to ensure security without compromising our guests’ expected privacy.

Property Management Program

Every guest we have interacted with during our extensive time in this industry has contributed to the culmination of Vunique Vacations. Our property management program takes your vacation experience to the next level with personal property managers who will guide you through your vacation from the time you book until the day you depart.

Property Engineering and Maintenance

Vunique Vacations partners with local professionals to provide a one-of-a-kind vacation home experience as unique and individual as you. Our properties are professionally designed and managed. Hear directly from our Chief Engineer – Trevor White about our preventative and reactionary maintenance.

Professional Policies and Practices

As you can see, Vunique employs a full-service team ready for any obstacle. From our full-service maintenance, executive housekeeping program, reservationists, property managers, and professional accounting team, to our marketing professionals specializing in content creation and digital advertising, our team runs the gamut.

We partner with vendors and businesses to provide curated recommendations from a truly local perspective with the goal of providing our guests the ultimate level of comfort from the time our guests step foot into one of our luxury vacation homes. Whether you are in need of the essentials found in your welcome basket, require a quick How-To Video to use some of your home’s features, or enjoy the personal touch that your Property Manager helps provide for your getaway, at every corner Vunique Vacations delivers.

Our goal at Vunique Vacations is to provide our guests with an unforgettable vacation. In order to better help provide this level of service to our guests, we have implemented specific policies to allow the customization of your trip and also to offer protection for those coveted days away.

Flexible Arrival Days – You might notice during high-season that some companies require Saturday check-ins. We understand that you can’t control airline routes, which is why we offer flexible arrival days. You can arrive whatever day works best for your travel plans, to make the most of your vacation!
Lower Length of Stay Requirements – While other vacation rental companies require 7-night minimums unless we are bound by local ordinances, Vunique offers our guests 3-7 night stays and ‘any day’ arrivals for most of the year so that you can vacation on your own terms.

Flexible Cancellation Policy – Our flexible 60-day cancellation policy ensures that as long as you provide enough notice for the cancellation of your reservation, you will receive a full refund (excluding a $200 cancellation fee and the non-refundable admin fee). See More details on our cancellation policy here.

Travel Insurance – We partner with the top Travel Insurance company, Generali Global Assistance, to better protect your travel. We allow guests to purchase travel insurance at any time prior to your 60-day final payment date, to protect your trip against unforeseen circumstances.

24/7 Availability – Here at Vunique, we understand that ‘life happens.’ That is why our office is ready to help our valued guests at any time. Our entire team is available during normal business hours, view our hours here, and we offer an after-hours phone number for our in-house guests staying with us in case of urgent issues.
