Breckenridge is one of the most popular ski resorts during the Christmas holidays. The charming Victorian town takes on an air of Christmas past with the smell of wood burning fireplaces punctuates the snowfall in the air. The Victorian windows and their lace curtains glow in the dusk as the sun sets to the west. As the four base areas quiet down from the day on the slopes, Main Street comes alive.
Due to a last-minute cancellation, we at The Society have a one bedroom (sleeps 4) luxury condo in the heart of Breckenridge available for Christmas Week Rental. The flat, just steps from the lifts and Main Street was recently constructed with a design theme of luxury including liberal uses of granite and tile. The living room is most inviting with a large flat-panel television equipped with DVD and a gas fireplace. The bedroom, a luxury sanctuary offers guests a King Bed with a hand-hewn headboard in keeping with the historic Breckenridge theme.
The condo is located on South Main Street, an easy walk to the QuickSilver Lift as well as Main Street’s commercial core to the north. Of course, after a day on the slopes your quads may enjoy the complementary shuttle.
Before dinner, consider laps in the on-site pool or some après-ski in the hot tubs. Not enough time on the slopes, hit the fitness center to top off your workout. Business calling? Complementary wireless is available in the common areas. Staying in tonight? Enjoy the on-site bar/lounge and restaurant. You have all the amenities of Main Street Station at your doorstep.
As the Christmas Week and New Year’s Booking cancelled, the owner has offered an excellent opportunity. Original rate during the Christmas/New Years holiday period was$639/night. This luxury one bedroom condo is now offered at $450/night for Christmas, New Years and the first week in January. With 4 persons; just under $115/night. Coupled with an Epic Pass or Summit Pass, a true bargain and if we may advise “A Christmas Miracle”.
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

Trust us, for the true golf enthusiasts you will have bragging rights back home when your foursome hear of your Cabo vacation villa being situated at the 1st tee of a Jack Nicklaus- designed course within the luxury gated community of Cabo del Sol. The single-story, Hacienda-style home offers 4 bedrooms and 4.5 baths which sleeps 8 in splendor, provides direct golf course and ocean views from the entertaining rooms of the house as well as the master bedroom. While Casa Stamm is a great option for golfing with the buddies, it is also a perfect retreat for the extended family. From the spacious master bedroom to the oversized guest suites and separate living quarters the home provides ample space for everyone to relax and enjoy themselves. There are two master suites located inside the main house and two guest suites located in the courtyard. The 2,800 square foot outdoor patio features a built-in Viking gas grill, furniture for lounging and al fresco dining while the gourmet kitchen and adjacent dining room is a perfect place to host a dinner party.
An opportunity recently came to our attention; an award winning home in East Hampton is available for the Thanksgiving and Christmas/ New Year’s holidays. While the area is known as a summer getaway for New Yorkers, insiders know the holiday season is truly magical on the East-End of Long Island.
The summer car traffic in East Hampton is replaced by window shoppers on foot. The shops and restaurants are decorated in the finest holiday fashion yet there is a serene calmness as locals and weekenders enjoy the crisp ocean breezes and the flat winter light which brought so many artists to the East End. Days are spent strolling along the quaint streets.
During the evening hours, dinner in town or maybe a supper at home and relaxing by the wood-burning fireplace. Be your own Barefoot Contessa and try some of Ina Garten’s recipes where they were created and conceived. Need some “big-city excitement, hop on an LIRR Train or Hampton Jitney and spend the day in Manhattan (see NYC blog)
May we suggest Whale Rock House as your holiday getaway in the Hamptons. With three bedrooms on one level, all generations of the family are welcome. The expansive living room with fireplace will be the gathering place for family and friends.
For the chef, the gourmet kitchen will entice even the most jaded cook to consider roasting a turkey or glazing the ham for the holidays. Cooks, head into East Hampton for some local produce while the rest of the family plays touch-football in the yard. Before dinner, maybe a sunset walk on the beach.
While fears concerning the H1N1 flu outbreak were unfounded, travelers avoided Mexico and revised destination options including Hawaii and The Caribbean. Their choice is your opportunity to enjoy Mexico sans crowds with bargain airfares and luxury lodging offered at most attractive pricing.
Flights: A little known fact, air tickets can be booked 333 days in advance. I am still seeing very low fares for travel to Mexico available for the December holidays, MLK Birthday weekend in January, President’s Weekend in February and Spring Vacation in March.
Lodging: Our partners in Mexico have been most proactive in lowering rates and providing incentives for high-season bookings. Some are offering straight discounts off of rates while others implore you to extend your vacation by providing free nights.
No matter your destination from the Caribbean Sea to the Pacific Ocean, Mexico is a beautiful country with history, culture and some of the finest beaches in the world. Do not miss this opportunity to enjoy a spectacular vacation at most attractive rates.
Above: Providing 80 feet of private sandy beach on the Mayan Riviera. Add to this a huge 20′x45′ swimming pool and palapas on the beach with hammocks and what have you got? Villa Yardena! Villa Yardena is located on Soliman Bay on the Caribbean just 75 miles south of the Cancun airport. It has aquamarine water, white sand beaches and two great restaurants located within a mile. Just a short drive to Tulum, Akumal and Puerto Aventuras. For the family, visit Xel-Ha, for outrageous snorkeling or Xcaret, a fabulous Mayan eco park with underground rivers, butterfly pavilion, beach, swimming with the dolphins, snuba and snorkeling, and more! The Mayan ruins of Tulum are 10-minutes south, and Aktun Chen (which means “cave with an underground river inside” in Maya) is only 10-minutes north. If you like to dance, you can head to Hacienda Dona Isabel for a fun evening in the nightclub. We could go on and on about all to see and do in the area, but you might decide to just lie in the hammocks at Villa Yardena and drink margaritas!
Now that Thanksgiving has passed, it sure feels like Christmas is right around the corner.
If you want to give your family something special this year, it is not too late to have a memorable holiday getaway in Vail or Beaver Creek.
Numerous fantastic rentals are still available from 12/22/08 to 1/4/09.
