StayTerra, a platform of premier vacation rental brands in top destinations across America, today announced a partnership with Gather Vacations (“Gather”), a full-service manager of luxury vacation rental properties in Hawaii and the West Coast.

Founded in 2009, Gather manages more than 500 properties across Oahu, the Big Island, Kauai and Maui, as well as California and Washington. Gather has established itself as a leading vacation rental property manager in Hawaii through its portfolio of high-quality homes, partnerships with local, licensed property managers and a commitment to creating exceptional experiences for homeowners, guests and communities.

As part of StayTerra’s portfolio of brands, Gather will benefit from the platform’s expertise and resources while continuing to build on its community-based property management approach. Chief Executive Officer Andreea Grigore and the existing Gather leadership team will continue to lead the business, with StayTerra providing additional resources and capabilities to support Gather’s continued growth.

“Gather has built an outstanding business that brings deep, local expertise to some of the country’s most sought-after vacation destinations,” said Amy Kothari, Chief Executive Officer of StayTerra. “We are proud to welcome Gather to the StayTerra family and look forward to partnering with Andreea and the talented Gather team to build on the significant momentum they’ve created. Together, we are focused on supporting Gather’s approach to investing in local experts, caring for each home and building stronger communities as the brand continues to grow.”

“From the beginning, Gather has been guided by the belief that exceptional hospitality starts with the people closest to each home and each destination,” said Andreea Grigore, Chief Executive Officer of Gather. “StayTerra understands and supports that belief. This partnership gives us the opportunity to enhance the capabilities that help us better serve our local partners and communities, strengthen the foundation our team has created and pursue the next chapter of Gather’s growth.”

StayTerra’s portfolio of premier regional vacation rental brands also includes Moving Mountains in Colorado, Vacation Homes of Hilton Head in South Carolina, and Cape & Coast and Prime Vacations in Florida. Each brand has a unique offering and local approach to delivering incredible vacation experiences, while benefiting from the collective expertise, resources and capabilities of the broader StayTerra platform. The addition of Gather grows StayTerra’s platform to more than 2,000 homes under management and expands its market presence with the addition of destinations in Hawaii, California and Washington.

StayTerra is backed by Garnett Station Partners (“GSP”), a leading principal investment firm that partners with experienced and entrepreneurial founders and management teams to build enduring, customer-focused companies, and Bessemer Venture Partners, a prominent technology investor with AI and industry expertise.

Raincatcher served as exclusive advisor to Gather.
