20 locally led companies managing more than 5,000 homes come together to share infrastructure, technology and data, all under one roof.
NEW YORK, Oct. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Pavilion, a national vacation rental company, launched today with 20 local companies managing more than 5,000 homes and welcoming approximately 50,000 guests each month across the United States.
Pavilion launches as the first founder-owned national vacation rental company, with 5,000+ homes under one roof.
Pavilion brings together successful local vacation rental companies that have built deep relationships with property owners and have real expertise in their markets. Each one stays locally led by the teams who built it, while gaining the resources and scale of a much larger organization. What sets Pavilion apart is who owns it. The leaders of its local companies become long-term shareholders, and together with the team running Pavilion itself, they own the majority of the business.
“The people who built these businesses are the core of Pavilion, and they should get the biggest share of the outcome,” said co-founder and chairman Joe Fraiman. “The typical industry playbook left founders with a small piece of someone else’s company. We’ve been founders in this industry ourselves, so we built the company we would have wanted to join.”
“We look for local companies that have built incredible relationships with their property owners, because those relationships are the heart of this business,” said Lino Maldonado, co-founder and CEO of Pavilion. “We see property owners as business owners. Our job is to put the best service, technology and people in the industry behind them so their business is worth more next year than it is today.”
Behind the local companies, Pavilion provides shared technology, data, owner reporting, accounting, revenue management, business development, purchasing and insurance. Its management team brings experience from Compass, Bridgewater Associates, Inhabit, Grand Welcome, Wyndham and Wheelhouse.
“Pavilion gave me a way to keep building my business while owning a piece of something much bigger,” said Steven Chrobak, founder of Myrtle Beach Destinations. “We have the tools and support we need to grow, and the only thing my homeowners have noticed is that we’ve gotten better.”
Pavilion is actively seeking more local vacation rental companies across the country. “We’re looking for builders,” said Brady Stump, co-founder of Pavilion. “People who have built something exceptional in their market and want the resources to make it substantially bigger. They are joining a collection of pioneers who own the company together, share what works, and solve problems as a team.”
Pavilion’s investors include TZP Group, investment funds managed by HPS Investment Partners (a part of BlackRock), and Capital Dynamics. PGIM, the global asset management business of Prudential Financial, Inc. (PFI), served as the primary lender for the Pavilion platform. “Great hospitality companies shouldn’t have to choose between what makes them special and the advantages of scale,” said Paul Davis, partner at TZP Group. “Pavilion is designed to preserve the local knowledge, hospitality and entrepreneurial leadership that made these companies successful while giving them access to resources that are typically only available to much bigger companies.”
Pavilion’s 20 founding local companies are 30A Vacay, Akers Ellis, Beach Getaways, Blue Creek Cabins, Compass Resorts, Destin Pointe Realty, Enjoy Unique Stays, Executive Villas, Host & Keep, Kabino, Maui Paradise Properties, Myrtle Beach Destinations, Panhandle Getaways, Premium Beach Condos, Rent in Myrtle, Salt Water Vacations, Scenic Stays, Sea Mountain Vacations, Vacay Rental Network and Wild Oak Telluride. Blue Creek Cabins, Destin Pointe Realty, Premium Beach Condos and Rent in Myrtle have merged with one of the other local companies, so the group operates as 16 today.
Jefferies LLC acted as exclusive financial advisor and Cooley LLP acted as legal counsel.
