Month-to-month living at sea, with rent-to-own, launched to offer a flexible way to live aboard the Villa Vie Odyssey.
Villa Vie Residences unveiled Month-to-Month at Sea with a Rent-to-Own benefit, aboard the Villa Vie Odyssey starting at $2,999 per person, per month. Introduced by popular demand, the program lets travelers “try the lifestyle” without a long commitment – while earning real credit toward future ownership.
With inside villas from $2,999 and oceanview villas from $3,499 (per person), the new monthly rental opens the door to life at sea for travelers who’ve been waiting for a shorter, simpler entry point.
For many, the Try Before You Buy 1-week trial was too short, and the one-year program was too long. Month-to-Month is just right—commit by the month, keep your life on land, and build credit toward future ownership.
“This program is about flexibility and accessibility,” added Mikael Petterson, Founder & Chairman. “Guests can experience the lifestyle without a long commitment, and we reward them with a clear pathway to ownership. It’s the best of both worlds.”
How it works, according to the company:
- Flexible Monthly Living — Rent your villa one month at a time; no long-term contract required.
- Affordable Entry — Inside villas from $2,999/month, oceanview villas from $3,499/month (per person).
- Rent-to-Own Benefit — $500 of your monthly rent is credited toward the future purchase of a permanent villa or Golden Passport.
“You asked, we listened,” said Kathy Villalba, CEO, Villa Vie Residences. “Month-to-month living at sea is here. Flexible rentals with a built-in rent-to-own pathway—so we can meet you where you are in life. It’s your time, your terms, your next chapter at sea.”
Ownership for those ready to live at sea full-time, Golden Passport with exclusive age-advantage pricing for lifetime residency, and the new Month-to-Month (with Rent-to-Own) – perfect for digital nomads and semi-retired travelers who choose to split time between land and sea.
Residents enjoy an all-inclusive lifestyle and amenities, including dining, entertainment, housekeeping, medical services, fitness facilities, and high-speed internet, all while sailing a continual world route spanning seven continents, 140+ countries, and 425+ ports on each 3.5-year circumnavigation.
Whether you are testing the waters by the month or ready to make the sea your forever home, Villa Vie now offers a program for every timeline and traveler.
