Announcing the Luxury Vacation Rental Champion: Cantamar Villa - Dominican Republic

April 8th, 2010 by Ashley

Cantamar Villa wins the crown!

Cantamar Villa - Dominican Republic steals the crown as it takes lead over Villa Las Palmas - Mexico with 69% of the votes!  It has been a turbulent ride for Cantamar Villa as it squeezed past Ocean Front Villa - Panama with 52% of the votes in Round 5.  The competition has been fierce for these vacation rental participants in the “Win or Go Home” Luxury Vacation Rental Championship.  Let’s look at a short recap of this competition.

Lucky to be the 2010 U.S. Open Golf Championship destination, but not so lucky in our tournament, Riata - Pebble Beach, CA lost by only a fraction in Round 3 against Casa La Laguna - Cabo San Lucas.

Alpen Ridge - Telluride was the last winter vacation rental standing in Round 5 when Villa Las Palmas took the lead into the Final Round.  Could the season be playing a part in the voting decisions?

With so many luxurious vacation properties to choose from, the Luxury Vacation Rental Championship experienced heavy competition.  Congratulations to all of the property winners in each round and many thanks to all the voters and participants for making the first Luxury Vacation Rental Championship an exciting event for The Society and property owners and managers.

   

Global Bundle November/December Highlights

December 11th, 2009 by Mark

In October, we introduced some wonderful success stories/highlights that our clients have reported since the launch of The Global Bundle.  Around the world, homeowners, property managers, resorts, developers and fractional owners have found The Global Bundle to be the perfect solution for their online marketing efforts.

The testimonials keep coming in, and below is a recap of November and December including success stories and some select new properties we’ve added in the past two months.

Success Stories:
Paradise Valley, AZ: This $10 million estate received its first qualified inquiry within 24 hours of listing.  Little over a month later, Bramasole booked for an entire month for $30,000.  On top of that, the owner was contacted via another Global Bundle inquiry for the home to be used as the site for the next “Go-Daddy” commercial starring Indy-Car celebrity and Go-Daddy spokeswoman, Danica Patrick.  A nice $5,000 booking for a quick, 4-hour commercial shoot. See home here: http://thesociety.com/vacation+rental/23829


Cabo San Lucas, Mexico: Villa Las Palmas, a 13,000 square foot paradise, arguably one of the finest luxury villas in all of Cabo was brought to us for help in November.  The home was still available for Christmas/New Year’s, and it was specifically urgent to get a qualified holiday booking.  Within the 1st week on listing, Villa Las Palmas was booked for New Year’s, a $20,000+ booking.  See home here: http://thesociety.com/vacation+rental/24009


Breckenridge, CO: This property located on Main Street was not seeing results from previous online marketing strategies.  The home was listed through our Global Bundle back in mid August. To date (December 11th), this home has been booked for 59 nights through Global Bundle inquiries.  See the home here: http://thesociety.com/vacation+rental/23906

October 21st, 2009 by Joseph

While Mexican lodging opportunities range from the 1-star dives to opulent waterfront vacation rental villas, airfare has always been a concern.

Honeymoon or Romantic Getaway in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

August 17th, 2009 by Joseph

At TheSociety.com we are proud to partner with the finest property/estate management firms worldwide. Lifestyle Villas of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico is one of our partners in the area offering our clients the finest luxury vacation home rentals and what we consider the most professional and accommodating concierge staff in all of Mexico.

Not all honeymoon couples desire to share their post nuptial bliss in a crowded resort property, some desire the privacy and seclusion of a vacation rental coupled with concierge services to insure a memorable honeymoon. May we suggest a luxury flat at One Medano Beach, Los Cabos’ newest luxury condominium tower.

While the interior appointments will keep honeymooners happy with marble floors, granite countertops, sliding pocket doors, private terraces, central air conditioning and fine custom wood cabinetry, if they venture outside, they will not be disappointed.

Grounds amenities include pool, hot tub, outdoor grills, and showers (to rinse off sand from the beach). Just beyond the entry, a short stroll to the beach provides guests with the finest swimming option along the Cabo coastline. For the shopper, the Puerto Paraiso Mall offers the finest in luxury retail and dining. BTW: we suggest Casa Rafael’s for fine Mexican dining. For deep-sea fishing and diving excursions, the marina is one block away.

In addition to a true luxury selection of vacation home rentals, Lifestyle Villas is world-renowned for their “Lifestyle Services Portfolio”. Offering services beyond the most experienced resort concierge, the Lifestyle Services Team is literally your one call for all your desires when visiting Los Cabos from Butler to Private Chef, event/wedding planning to private security to custom floral arrangements, the Lifestyle Services team of Lifestyle Villas will impress and exceed even the most demanding expectations.
