August Collection Reviews | August Homeowners

It was wonderful to spend a fortnight in Tuscany this summer, because we were truly able to rest, enjoying the pool, the magnificent garden, the orchard and, whenever we wished, to visit nearby towns, go hiking, cook meals for the family, watch films, play games or simply lose ourselves in a novel. It was a holiday during which we rested, welcomed family and friends, and which we hold as a very fond memory.

Having been able to see how well August worked for David and Michele gave us the confidence to buy ourselves.

When you stay in these homes, you feel like you're part of the community rather than just a visitor or a stranger. You can go to the local grocery store, pick up the things you like, wake up in the morning, make your own breakfast, and enjoy the beautiful countryside around you. It feels much more like living in the destination rather than simply visiting it.

What really appealed to me about the August model was the concept of having access to five homes in different destinations, without the burden of full ownership and maintenance.

Last year, some friends of ours, had rented an Airbnb house in Palma for a lot of money. We offered to let them use our August Mallorca home for a week after their rental and they came back absolutely thrilled. They said that our house was breathtaking and, unlike their Airbnb, it genuinely felt like a home...even though it’s not a personal home, it felt warm, lived-in, and perfectly prepared, which they said you just can’t get in a typical vacation rental.

The beauty for us is that it just feels like a second home. You don’t feel like someone else has been there, you arrive and it’s in perfect condition, so from day one you can relax.

It really does give us the best of both worlds, the convenience of city stays and the escape of the more spacious villa homes.

I loved the thought of our boys growing up with these homes, becoming familiar with them, feeling independent there, and eventually even being able to bring their own families in the future. It felt like creating a thread of continuity through their childhood.

"I’ve definitely seen our family really grow and evolve with August. My kids now think of the Cotswolds house as their grandparent’s house, they just assume it’s theirs too. It’s become this shared space that feels familiar and special to all of us. "

Golf wasn't something we focused on before, but now having such close access to these amazing golf courses, we've been able to enjoy them all together.

Premium really checked all the boxes: space for friends and family, the countryside lifestyle we wanted, and a level of quality and ease that makes traveling stress-free. It’s been perfect.

"We all want the charm and character of an old home, but with the comforts and reliability of modern conveniences...August has found a great niche where they offer homes that look timeless, but have modern functionality."

It really is the best of both worlds: the personal feel of an Airbnb, the comfort and service of a hotel, but it actually feels like home.

Seeing a space that I have an equity interest in, beautifully designed and fully realised…it’s not just a dream, it’s real, and that feeling is truly rewarding.

Prime was particularly attractive because it gave me the feeling that this is all the property I'll ever need. August is a brilliant business idea that I wish I’d thought of myself!

Each of these uniquely beautiful properties in great locations has given us a range different experiences.

''There’s a certain amount of blind faith that goes into making an investment of this sort. One year in, it’s clear August is a company with integrity. I have seen the effort that goes into making the right decisions. It’s all worked out even better than we had hoped.''

Amy

“I remember walking in the front door of my home and just being overwhelmed with gratitude and excitement. I couldn’t believe it was mine.”

Zoe and Alan

We just thought this is almost too good to be true ... but we can assure you it's not.

Stewart and Jan

You really feel that it’s your place. You feel you’ll be back time and time again, that you can go to the same restaurants again and do the same walks. Or indeed do the things that you've perhaps missed on that trip.

Carol and Kevin

Premium Collection

We made the decision to become August Homeowners after exploring Europe in search of a boat. Surprisingly, instead of finding a boat, we discovered August.

Michele and David

Signature Collection

Walking is fabulous here. And you can walk from here to some amazing pubs or use that as a base. I cycle the area, which is also fabulous. Then there is are place like Daylesford Farm, we've had some lovely trips there. We haven't even scratched the surface.

Tamara and Chris

Chris and Tamara were one of the first people joining our latest Collection, Pied à Terre.

Hilde and Hendrik

It was an easy decision to upgrade to the Premium Collection - we joined August so we could take those much-needed breaks every 4-6 weeks, effectively 'forcing' us to go away in between work! It's a great excuse, and we cannot wait to start enjoying life even more with impressive Premium homes!

Yvonne, Aerin and Kiki

The August model allows flexibility as our family grows. We went ahead with the Signature Collection because we want to share them with our friends and family. With two teenage girls, it's important there's enough space for them to do their own thing.

Tara and Pradeep

It made sense that if we went ahead with a collection, it would have to fit the way we travel. The City Collection of homes are perfect, conveniently located closer to the cafes, shops and culture we love to discover! The smaller size fits the two of us or a small group but it's fantastic to have larger collections to consider in the future.

We really appreciate that August has taken the time to ensure luxurious and functional interiors. It's great that they can deal with all the things we don't want to deal with, and we both agree that the August homes, interiors and locations are all tick, tick, tick!!!

Shawn and Bill

It's been difficult finding the perfect second home, until we came across August. Now we have five great homes that meet all our criteria!

Rosa and Paul

Pied-à-Terre Collection

The overall experience exceeded our expectations, from the locations to the houses to the decorations. It was truly perfect! From the beginning everything has been first-class and it's been so great!

Nicky and Cameron

Signature Collection

We have so much flexibility in the way we can holiday now and joining a co-ownership has added to our lifestyle!

Lucy and Jonathan

Signature Collection

Ever since Emily and Jack were young, we’ve gone back and forth with the idea of buying a house abroad. We see August as a platform to help us be more organised with our family holidays. So far what August has promised, they've delivered!

Marina and Jes

Signature Collection

We fell in love with the offering; owning five homes in five different locations is exciting because we get to learn and discover all the different places, each location has its own experience offering that we can enjoy.

Melita and Liam

It just made sense when I came across August! Someone else to take care of the hassles of home maintenance so we can focus on the fun stuff, like meeting the locals and settling in.

Nancy and Mike

Living in the US, August makes owning homes in Europe very easy and possible. It still allows us to continue with our lives in America and we can visit whenever we want.

Linda and Dan

Signature Collection

We can’t wait to meet the locals and get to know the area really well and settle in just like locals; even though we aren't there 100% of the time having homes that are ours will allow us to feel at home every time we go back.

Maria and Tony

Signature Collection

We have been fans of August and been following since the beginning. We love to visit Spain and have been looking for a European base for awhile. It’s the perfect excuse for us to keep going back to visit friends and have the much needed break.

Leah and Peter

Signature Collection

We own other properties than the one we live in, in Melbourne so we understand the maintenance and having to keep the property running. It's just a pain in the neck for us and we're in the same country; let alone doing this in Europe!

Juliana and Martijn

Premium Collection

We are thrilled with the Valbonne home as it has completely exceeded our expectations! We appreciate that everything is taken care of and August doesn't cut corners. The process has been so carefully thought through whilst remaining transparent.

Kimberly and Scott

Signature Collection

When it comes to vacations, having to sort out accommodation isn't the most exciting part, but with homes now taken care of, it means we can have fun with everything else about the trips.

Jesper and Hywel

The design aesthetic of August homes really appealed to us, and we appreciate August renovates the homes ensuring the process is hassle-free. We also like the combination of traditional and contemporary design that is sympathetic to the home.

Keelin and Matt

Signature Collection

Our favourite thing about August is the maintenance-free living, where we don't really have to do anything. You can come in and see this wonderful place that's practical, comfortable and definitely something I wouldn't have put together on my own.

Diana and Scott

From what we have seen, all the homes are just beautiful, you guys have a great team of interior designers and you can see with each of the homes there's going to be a lot of the influences from the locations.

Fiona and David

The reality of the house surpassed expectations and it delivers exactly what August promised – and more!

Helen and Mark

Signature Collection

We're familiar with the concept of co-ownership and we didn't want to deal with the downsides of owning a second home and all of the maintenance that comes with it as you may not go there all the time. Now that we have joined a co-ownership with August we're thrilled we can enjoy our homes hassle free!

Jane and Ian

A life-changing conversation, if it wasn’t for a recommendation from a friend, we wouldn't have thought or even considered holiday home co-ownership.

Jazmin and Andy

Pied-à-Terre Collection

The idea of the hands-off approach is what we like about the sharing economy. You get the sense of excitement of returning to familiar places and experiencing "home" in different countries!

Anne and Paul

Premium Collection

We’ve seen first hand the quality August delivers on and we’re impressed. There’s no doubt the Premium Collection with bigger homes will provide that extra bit of luxury and ultimate comfort we’re looking for to share with friends and family.

In their words

Meet the families who own with August, and hear in their words why it made sense for them and how it has changed the way they travel together.
