About Exotic Estates International
Exotic Estates International is a luxury vacation rental agency founded in December 2006 by Tyler Coons in Hawaii. Originally established to represent high-quality vacation homes across the Hawaiian Islands, the company has grown into a nationally recognized brand known for curated homes, personalized service, and unforgettable travel experiences. With a portfolio spanning over 1,000 inspected vacation rentals, Exotic Estates connects travelers with standout properties across Hawaii (Maui, Oahu, Kauai, and the Big Island), Mexico (Cabo San Lucas, Riviera Maya, Puerto Vallarta), the Caribbean (St. Barts, St. Martin, Jamaica, Dominican Republic), Colorado (Breckenridge, Vail, Steamboat Springs, Telluride), Utah (Park City, Deer Valley), Montana (Big Sky), and California (Palm Springs).
Every property in the Exotic Estates collection meets the company’s proprietary Excellence Standard — a commitment to comfort, quality, and a seamless guest experience from booking to check-out. Unlike large booking platforms, Exotic Estates vets its homes and property managers with periodic inspections. The company’s Hawaii-based team of Villa and Destination Specialists provides hands-on support and real local insight, helping guests choose the right property and elevate every aspect of their stay.
Exotic Estates also offers property management and marketing services for homeowners, focusing on maximizing revenue and long-term asset value through advanced calendar and pricing strategy, targeted marketing, and ongoing performance analysis. The company is an active member of the Vacation Rental Management Association (VRMA), holds an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, and is recognized as a Green Member of the American Society of Travel Advisors (ASTA).
What sets this company apart
Exotic Estates vets every home and property manager against its proprietary Excellence Standard through periodic inspections — a significant departure from large aggregator platforms where quality is not directly verified. The Hawaii-based team of Villa and Destination Specialists provides personalized local expertise, clear guidance on complex regional rental regulations, and responsive guest support throughout the entire booking and stay experience.
