At The Society we request our property and estate managers to advise concerning “deals and steals” which we provide to our readership and blog. Please review and consider taking advantage of these “deals and steals” while available:

One of the premier vacation rental opportunities is now available for specific dates for the ultimate spring skiing experience which is characterized by sun-kissed days,starry nights and abundant spring snow.

Deer Valley, UT: For those who may consider Casa Nova slightly large for their vacation, we have a beautiful 4 bedroom vacation rental in the Silver Lake neighborhood of Deer Valley. Those who may be familiar with Silver Lake know the location is premier with a quaint village setting located mid-mountain, a true ski-in/out village setting reminiscent of the Alps. Lookout 6559 is a premier luxury 4 bedroom town home which sleeps10 in opulence and luxury, which is what Deer Valley is all about. For bookings through the remainder of the season, 25% off on a space available basis.
Mayan Riviera, Mexico: While we may be basking in the snow here in the Colorado Rockies and getting in those final runs of the season, Mexico becomes the location of choice when the snow melts. Many of us wait a few months until late spring and summer to travel to Mexico when the weather is glorious and the crowds non-existent.
Mexico is truly one of the most diverse vacation destinations in the world. From high-rise mega-hotels to destination resorts to quaint fishing villages, the diversity of vacation experiences is vast. For many, the west coast of Mexico continues to retain the attraction of Mexico of years past including untouched gold sand beaches, fishing villages where the “fresh catch” is just minutes from the ocean and recently some of the most opulent and in-demand vacation residences and resorts unrivaled in the western hemisphere. May we present Punta Mita.
Just 45 minutes from Puerto Vallarta, Punta Mita is an exclusive resort blending the unparallel beauty of the Mexican Pacific Coast with its palm-studded jungles sweeping into the deep blue of the ocean with the luxury, services and amenities of The Four Seasons.
Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita is located within a 1,500-acre/607-hectare nature reserve on the northern tip of Bahía de Banderas – one of the world’s largest natural bays. The shoreline of the community is fringed by over 9 miles/14.5 kilometers of pristine white sand and rugged lava rock formations. Rising in the majestic background are the jungle peaks of the famous and often photographed Sierra Madre Mountains.
The Punta Mita Four Seasons Villa is offered to the discerning client who desires the finest in luxury and amenities along Mexico’s Pacific Coast. The hacienda style of the villa embraces the Mexican Riviera lifestyle paying respect to the 345 days of sunshine and the adjacent Pacific Ocean. With average summer and winter temperatures of 85F/29C and 75F/25C respectively, outdoor living is a prerequisite. For the geography buff, Punta Mita and Hawaii share the same latitude.
The luxury villa provides 4 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms on an oceanfront lot providing expansive views from every room. Sleeping 8 in luxury, all the bedrooms were designed to be master suites with no detail overlooked including bathrooms which have been described as “luxury sanctuaries” by past guests.
The gathering rooms inside the home have been designed to embrace the informal Mexican lifestyle coupled with custom designed and fabricated furnishings. The formal (as formal is in Mexico) living room is one of the gathering areas of the home. The Yucatan marble floors keep the home cool year round and merge seamlessly with the outdoors. The furnishings offer a comfortable retreat yet most guests open the sliding doors merging the indoor and outdoor living areas. The state-of-the-art audio and video system continues the merged indoor/outdoor lifestyle.
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

As the vast expanse of the United States is shivering under the mistletoe, you still have the option of spending Christmas Week in Cabo San Lucas. We admit, the Christmas lights on the palm trees may be unique. However, we guarantee, the warm sand of the beach, the waves of the Pacific, the buckets of Corona, the fresh “catch of the day”. You have the visual in your mind and we have the choices of vacation residences for you to consider, all available during Christmas Week (as of distribution).
If you and 15 of your closest friends and family are in search of the ultimate Los Cabos vacation rental, Villa Las Palmas is the choice for you. Recently profiled in our “The List” newsletter, Villa Las Palmas is not just a villa rental, it is a beginning-to-end experience from touch-down (the estate manager E3Escapes provides chauffeured car service from either the San Jose International Airport or from their private hangar at the local Cabo San Lucas Executive Airport) to wheels up. The incomparable Villa Las Palmas is perched on the cliffs of the exclusive gated community of Pedregal, situated to be paparazzi resistant. The luxurious mansion provides 13,000 square feet of absolute ultra luxury, with a dedicated staff of 6 to serve guests’ every wish. Villa Las Palmas has four (4) private master suites and two (2) private casitas, each with bathrooms, providing comfortable sleeping for 16 guests. All have water views of the Sea of Cortez. During the day guests may wish to practice their approach shot on the putting green. After dinner, gather in the movie room to screen next month’s hot release. For those who wish to dine on the “fresh catch of the day”, guests have use of a private 60 foot Hatteras Sport Fishing Yacht staffed with Captain and crew. There is luxury, then there is Villa Las Palmas.
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.
Located in the exclusive community of Cabo Colorado near Palmilla, this 3-story villa with 6,500 SF offers guests 4 bedroom suites all facing the Sea of Cortez with an additional bedroom perfect for an “au pair”. The villa, which sleeps 9 in luxury is one of the most stunning in Cabo with an interior filled with custom furnishings and artwork. Each bedroom is literally a master suite on par with the finest hotel suites. The private and secluded grounds are what bring clients back year after year including the gorgeous pool, outside living room with fire pit and of course the gas grill. Yes, you to can boast to your friends you barbequed on Christmas Eve or enjoyed fireworks over the Pacific Ocean.
South of Cancun and Playa Del Carmen is a coastline considered the jewel of the Mayan Riviera. Just as sophisticated visitors to the Cote D’ Azur enjoy Antibes as their secret refuge; Soliman Bay is the western hemisphere’s equivalent along the Caribbean coastline of Mexico.
Guests enter the grounds of Villa Yardena after passing through a gated entry ensuring one’s privacy and exclusivity; a luxury rapidly disappearing from the world’s most desirable vacation destinations. The privacy and seclusion of Villa Yardena is one of its many attractions. Proposed and designed as a private resort for the elite few, this Mexican estate will without doubt impress.
When guests visit Villa Yardena, words from first impressions include elegant, spacious, private, expansive, beautiful and breathtaking. We understand the interior impresses with a main house offering five (5) bedroom suites clustered around a living room dominated by custom Mexican furnishing and artwork all sheltered by ceilings reaching 30 feet into the tropical landscape. The bedrooms impress with space and volume as the architect desired to express “luminosity” associated with the natural setting. The guest suites incorporate ceiling fans suspended from over-height ceilings (14’ height) coupled with custom furnishings. Bathrooms liberally use indigenous stone and tiles keeping them cool and comfortable even during the hottest days of the summer. Each bedroom offers Satellite video feeds and a DVD player. In addition, the four (4) guest homes on the estate, each with a bedroom and private bathroom provide opportunities for all guest configurations. The full estate will sleep 26 in unsurpassed luxury.
Beyond the luxury of the main estate and guest houses is private open-space which is the envy of the resorts to the north. For those who desire to swim laps, the 20’ x 45” pool will be most inviting. For those who prefer natural salt water, the 80’ feet of private white sand beach will beckon throughout the day and early evening.
Evenings at Villa Yardena are truly magical. Upon arrival, guests enjoy a complementary dinner as well as breakfast the following morning, an excellent opportunity to enjoy the chef’s diverse culinary talents. While guests may enjoy dinner indoors the first night, we suggest dining al fresco poolside and let the chef work his magic at the outdoor kitchen.
Los Cabos, the waterfront resort town which has become the “see and be seen” destination for Hollywood’s elite and Wall Street’s Masters of the Universe. For those who feel One & Only is just too mainstream; The Villa Las Palmas, a lavish sanctuary is the Los Cabos destination of choice.
Upon arrival at the incomparable Villa Las Palmas perched on the cliffs of the exclusive gated community of Pedregal, this luxurious mansion provides 13,000 square feet of absolute ultra luxury, with a dedicated staff of 6 to serve guests’ every wish. Overlooking the breathtaking Sea of Cortez and the Cabo San Lucas Marina, Villa Las Palmas has four (4) private master suites and two (2) private casitas, each with private bathrooms, providing comfortable sleeping for 16 guests. All have water views of the Sea of Cortez. Built against a hillside the four (4) level expansive vacation villa is decadent yet not ostentatious.
Respecting the warm Mexico climate, marble and travertine grace the floors as well as the counters, where granite also makes its winning statement for both functionality and beauty. Yet, don’t spend all your time admiring the graces of indoors: step onto the balcony and behold the breathtaking Sea of Cortez with Cabo San Lucas and the marina spread out below.
The Villa offers on-site amenities rivaling most luxury resorts. The game room is where children can release some energy or adults can relive their childhood. The fitness center is fully equipped for those who feel remorse from overindulging in the fabulous food prepared by the on-site chef.
During the day guests may wish to practice their approach shot on the putting green. After dinner, gather in the movie room to screen next month’s hot release.
Day and evening guests may enjoy cocktails in the infinity pool with swim up bar while enjoying the tropical sun or the enchanting night view of the sparkling lights of Los Cabos below. The elevated and very private hot tub built above the pool on its own stone support is perfect for a late night trysts all designed to deter prying eyes.
