The one-, two- and three-bedroom fully furnished condominium resorts are in high demand by vacationers who appreciate having spacious units with the comforts of home paired with quality amenities, housekeeping, and professional services. Liberte’ also provides property management and rental management for numerous whole-ownership condominium associations and operates a timeshare and residential brokerage in St. Pete/Clearwater area. 

“After 30 years, deciding to sell was difficult, but knowing that our owners and employees will be in good hands with Vacatia’s talented team puts my mind at ease,” says Dennis DiTinno, Liberté’s CEO. “Their hospitality-focused culture, technology solutions, and innovative revenue-generating products and services are the future of the timeshare industry. I’m excited for Liberté’s resorts and our owners to be at the forefront of such innovation.”
