Vacation Home Management Vacasa unlocks the possibilities of how we enjoy vacation homes. We take care of managing our homeowners’ vacation houses so they can have peace of mind (and their home when they want to). And our guests book vacations confidently knowing they’re going to find exactly what they’re looking for without any surprises. Each vacation home is always cared for by our professional local teams who implement our high cleanliness and maintenance values, while the hands-off tasks of vacation rental management--marketing, filing taxes, and maintaining a website--are handled by a specialized central support team. Our passion and focus remains true: to empower our homeowners, guests, and employees to invest in vacation.

Oak - Waterfront Cottage on Private Island in Lake Champlain Stay on a private island in Lake Champlain. Accessible only by boat, Garden Island is a 30-acre private island offering a rare and peaceful Vermont escape. Oak sits directly along the shoreline of Converse Bay, with a spacious outdoor deck overlooking the water and capturing beautiful lake and Adirondack Mountain views — perfect for morning coffee, evening wine, or quiet sunset moments. Guests enjoy full access to the island’s sandy beach, open meadow, and wooded walking trails. Spend your days kayaking, canoeing, paddleboarding, or taking the paddleboat out across the bay. All non-motorized lake equipment is included in your stay. Swim from the dock, relax in a hammock, or enjoy the gentle rhythm of island life. With no cars on the island, the setting is calm, natural, and intentionally unplugged. Oak is a cozy waterfront studio-plus cottage that’s ideal for a couple or a small family. The main room features a fold-down futon and opens toward lake views, while a small separate bedroom with two twin beds, provides an extra space for children or guests. The screened porch connects to the wide deck above the water, creating seamless indoor-outdoor living and a romantic lakeside retreat. Explore the Area Garden Island is perfectly situated in Charlotte, Vermont, placing you within striking distance of classic Lake Champlain experiences and charming New England towns. Start with a drive up Mt. Philo State Park — Vermont’s oldest state park — for sweeping panoramic views of the lake and Adirondack Mountains, ideal for a sunrise picnic or a gentle sunset hike. Just minutes away, explore Charlotte Town Beach and scenic trails through rolling farmland and forest, or visit the historic Holmes Creek Covered Bridge for a touch of local history.
