When did Vacasa buy Wyndham?

The relationship between the two companies has gone from strength to strength since Vacasa acquired Wyndham Vacation Rentals from Wyndham Destinations for $162 million in October 2019.



Vacasa finalized its acquisition of Wyndham Vacation Rentals on October 23, 2019. The deal was valued at approximately $162 million, consisting of $156 million in cash and $10 million in Vacasa equity. This acquisition was a massive strategic move for Vacasa, as it integrated over 9,000 vacation homes across North America, Europe, and Central America into its management platform, bringing its total inventory at the time to over 23,000 homes. The transition included several well-known regional brands such as ResortQuest, Oceana, and Hatteras Realty. The full integration of these properties into the Vacasa website and app was completed by the fall of 2020. This purchase cemented Vacasa's position as North America's largest vacation rental management company. By 2026, many of the original Wyndham properties have been fully rebranded under the Vacasa name, though the legacy of the high-touch service associated with the Wyndham brands continues to influence the company’s hospitality standards in popular coastal and mountain destinations.
