Perfect for a Couple, Small Family or Group of Friends

What do Cancun, South Padre Island, Florida and Breckenridge have in common? Well, besides the need for SPF 30 sun-block, all are hot spring break destinations. OK, Breckenridge may not have tropical temperatures, but we guarantee as a Spring Break destination, it is hot, Hot, HOT.

Located just 90 minutes from Denver International Airport, Breckenridge has become the poster-child for “the cool ski resort” in the Rocky Mountain West. The 4 mountains of the Breckenridge resort guarantee unlimited skiing and snowboarding no matter your ability. From gentle glade trails to half-pipes and moguls the size of a Smart Car, it can be found in Breckenridge. As we approach President’s Weekend, this is the unofficial start of Spring Break with warmer, sunnier days intermixed with major snow dumps insuring powder days on the slopes. Take note, March is the snowiest month in Breckenridge.

Days on the slopes usually end with traditional après-ski in the hot tub with the warm waters massaging the muscles after a challenging day and prior to heading out to indulge in the nightlife Breckenridge is famous for. The historic mining town has been transformed into a world-class destination with a diversity of shops, restaurants, galleries and other “non-mountain” pursuits. Dining can be fast-food or the luxury of a chef’s tasting menu, all within walking distance. Non-skiers, take a ½ day and visit a spa or enjoy morning coffee with a walking tour of the historic town. For shoppers, the Silverthorne Factory Outlets are just a few minutes north.

We understand many vacation rentals are oriented towards larger families and groups. Thus, it is rare when we can offer a one-bedroom flat as a vacation rental in Breckenridge meeting the deluxe standards The Society is known for.

In real estate, the three “L’s” are Location, Location and Location and this vacation has all three. Seriously, our flat is literally just steps from historic Main Street as well as the Quicksilver High-Speed Lift with immediate access to the slopes.

The flat, built within the last decade offers what we consider “Ski Chalet Light”. Within its 785 SF, the flat is furnished with an emphasis on deluxe comfortable luxury. Enjoy the gas fireplace while watching the large flat screen (with a few DVD’s and popcorn, the most comfortable theater in town). The bedroom has a King Bed, a rarity in many mountain flats and its own flat screen. The living room sofa converts to a deluxe queen bed. In the kitchen and bathroom, there has been liberal use of custom granite and tile to exemplify the luxury appointments of the flat.

For those in the know, Belize is a beautiful destination just a few hours from many gateway cities in the United States. While not a staple of the popular press, Belize has been a jewel in Central America usually associated on the diving scene with “The Blue Hole”. Yet there is so much more to Belize. It is a dynamic destination where vacationers can be as active or as relaxed as they desire.

One of our favorite resorts is Las Terrazas located on the beautiful Ambergris Caye, truly one of the most beautiful locations in this lovely country. One of the many attributes of Las Terrazas is the hybrid opportunity of a vacation residence rental within a full-service luxury resort setting. Guests of Las Terrazas may enjoy flats ranging from one to three bedrooms equipped with central a/c, 42” plasma televisions with cable/DVD player, surround sound, Ipod docking stations, high-speed internet, fully-equipped kitchens and washer/dryer.

While the accommodations are some of the finest in Belize, we would be remiss not to mention the beautiful resort setting including the largest private beachfront on the island, a PADI 5-Star dive facility on-site, 70” infinity lap pool, pool-side bar and a personal favorite, The “O Restaurant” serving delectable edibles sure to impress the most demanding gourmand.

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”.

All less then two hours from Denver.

Costa Rica has enjoyed much popularity due to its diversity of vacation opportunities from active to passive and everything in between. A favorite destination of many vacationers is the Pacific Coast at Manuel Antonio. The area is well known for Manuel Antonio National Park, which is the smallest of the nation’s national parks, yet one of the most popular due to the preservation of one of the most beautiful and bio-diverse areas in Costa Rica and the world.

The uniqueness of the area is the combination of lush rain forests, stunning beaches (considered the finest in the country) and living coral reefs (excellent for snorkeling). For eco-tourists, we suggest the trail around Punta Catedral with its spectacular views (and a visit to Cathedral Point which used to be an island now connected via a narrow land bridge). For the beach enthusiasts, Playa Manuel Antonio is not to be missed. It’s a ½ mile white sand crescent with a mix of dense forests and a beautiful cove.

If considering a visit to Manuel Antonio National Park and the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica, may we suggest a private luxury villa within the gated community of Tulemar Gardens, a 33 acre development, intimate yet providing the amenities and services of a luxury resort.

Buena Vista Luxury Villas within Tulemar Gardens slopes down to the signature sandy beach with the most gorgeous sunsets year round. Each villa comes with daily maid service and within the Tulemar Gardens community is a restaurant, bar service and a beautiful Cliffside pool.

All the villas (from Jr. Suite to 3 Bedrooms) are fully air-conditioned, have lovely outdoor space and panoramic views of the rain forests and the Pacific Ocean. For families or a group of friends, we suggest the 3 Bedroom Villa, a truly luxury offering from state of the art electronics to a chef’s kitchen to three large bedrooms and beautiful common areas.

Activities in the area include: Park Tours (a must do), sport fishing, river rafting, jet skiing, horseback riding, surfing, mountain biking, 4-wheeling, dolphin watching and spa. Of course, this is an excellent destination for destination weddings and romantic honeymoons.
