Golightly is a private travel club for women with a vacation rental and home-sharing platform. All Golightly properties are owned or managed by women, and bookings are made by women within the network. But members can travel with whomever they want - including men! As a private club, Golightly carefully vets each member and property listing. Our goal is to provide a safer and more secure travel experience. Listings and member profiles are only available within the Golightly network to protect the privacy of our community. A carefully curated portfolio, luxury at any budget, and the comforts of home are all key to a Golightly stay. And because it’s invite-only, you’ll have friends in common with each potential host or guest. By joining a community of like-minded professionals, you can earn while networking. You’ll see exactly how you’re connected with each prospective guest, and your listing will only be viewable by other members of our private club. Bring your friends along for the ride. You can invite your favorite female friends, and receive travel credits (and some companions) to enjoy the trip with! You'll also meet a lot of incredible women through the Golightly travel network. Whether traveling for work or leisure, it should always be a pleasure. We hope to take some of the stress out of booking and listing vacation rentals so you can leave life’s baggage behind and go lightly!
