Koala

KOALA is changing the way the world travels by offering the certainty of a hotel and the spaciousness of a home at prices everyone can afford. While we are just a small company, founded and based in ...Brooklyn, New York, we have big dreams to transform the timeshare industry by making it transparent, flexible, and fair. We’ve spent years building an online marketplace that connects travelers (who want great vacations with exceptional value) to timeshare owners (who want to earn money from time that they can’t use). With KOALA, these two communities can meet and transact, safely and securely. Why? Because we believe that vacations should be fun. But we know that planning a vacation can be really stressful. Many vacationers struggle to find a place to stay that’s clean, reliable, and affordable—especially if they’re traveling with a family or group. At the same time, many timeshare and vacation club owners find they’re no longer using their properties. They’re located at gorgeous full-service resorts, with pools, restaurants, spas—the works. But maybe their kids have grown up, or they’re ready to explore new destinations. Whatever the reason, they still have to cover their annual expenses. Bringing these two groups of people together helps everyone out. Owners get an easy way to rent their space and defray their costs. Travelers, by booking a top-notch resort for less money, get a smarter vacation. As for us, we get to create a business that transforms the timeshare industry — which, let’s face it, has a negative reputation for many people — with transparency and fair play. We hope you’ll join us. Mike & James KOALA Founders
