If you’ve been contemplating buying a vacation home in the United States, chances are you've weighed up numerous factors: location, cost, affordability, and the overall investment value. The number of options can be overwhelming, leaving you uncertain about where to settle.  But fear not, as Desert Color Lagoon in St. George, Utah might just be the hidden gem you’re looking for. 

Imagine waking to a golden sunrise over the desert landscape and a glistening turquoise lagoon. Desert Color Lagoon provides a stunning setting for a vacation home, not only for its unique scenery but also for the wide range of outdoor activities you have on your doorstep. Think lagoon swimming and paddle boarding, national park hikes, and rounds of golf and tennis to name a few. 

Kocomo co-ownership provider, Ember, has an impressive portfolio of co-owned vacation homes in Desert Color Lagoon, blending luxury and affordability. In this week’s blog, we’re shining the spotlight on Ember’s inspiring co-ownership model and looking at 5 of the provider’s impressive Desert Color Lagoon vacation properties.

Enjoy shared property ownership with Ember 

American co-ownership provider, Ember, describes co-ownership as “A Better Way to Own a Vacation Home” and helps buyers find their ideal vacation home through this innovative model. 

With co-ownership properties in locations throughout California and Utah, Ember offers a great selection of luxury residences in locations to suit all lifestyles. The company champions the concept of dividing the cost of a vacation home into portions to make owning a second home an affordable reality for more people.  

Co-owners have the option to own from 1/12 to ½ of a vacation home, splitting the initial purchase price, as well as the ongoing running costs. Instead of having to foot the bill for an entire property, co-owners can purchase a portion of the vacation home that matches their lifestyle. For example, a ⅛ share equates to 6 weeks of vacation time at the property throughout the year. Simply buy a share that corresponds to the amount of time you’d like to spend at your vacation home - after all, it makes very little sense to pay for a vacation home that sits empty for large parts of the year.

Co-owners are also able to share monthly expenses such as taxes, insurance, and utilities, as well as contributing to a joint property ‘repair reserve’ fund. Ember provides full transparency of costs and even gives an estimated monthly cost to help prospective co-owners budget for the future.

Real property ownership

When you co-own a vacation home, you own genuine real estate, unlike a timeshare which only gives you the right to use a property. As a co-owner, you therefore have the option to sell your co-ownership share and pocket the gains from any property appreciation. Equally, with Ember, you can transfer your co-ownership interest from one property to another, should your requirements change.  

Ember Limited vs. Ember Flex

Ember offers two property models to ensure co-owners with the same preferences are brought together: Ember Limited, where a home is exclusive to its owners and their guests, and Ember Flex, where a home is owned by individuals who like to have the option of renting out the property’s unused weeks, to offset the costs of ownership. All Ember properties are clearly defined as Rentable or Not Rentable on Kocomo’s Listings page to help you identify the two types of homes. And you will also see the label ‘OWNERS CAN RENT IT OUT’ on all Ember Flex homes on Ember’s website. 

Schedule & manage your stay with the Ember app

Ember makes it very easy to reserve and manage your vacation home stays with the Ember App. This smart app ensures fair scheduling, giving each owner guaranteed access to peak seasons, plus the option to reserve up to 6 stays at a time. Vacation weeks can be booked up to 2 years in advance, and conveniently, last minute too, for those spur-of-the-moment breaks.

A seamless way to own 

Ember makes the process of purchasing and owning a vacation home as fuss-free as possible. From buying, designing, furnishing, landscaping, and managing your property, everything is exceptionally easy. No need to worry about organizing the interior design, gardening, cleaning, and maintenance yourself, Ember’s end-to-end service takes care of every detail. 

As an Ember co-owner, you also have a dedicated concierge service at your fingertips to help prepare the house for your arrival and attend to any of your needs during or after your stay. How good is that?
