Well, this is exciting to see our company name in the New York Times.

Here is an excerpt of the article:

To maintain a level of consistency among its properties, Lifestyle Villas, which manages beachfront homes and condos in Los Cabos, Mexico, requires homeowners who list with the agency to include certain standard perks, among them, 800-thread-count linens, two bathrobes per room, wall safes, suitcase holders, alarm clocks and L’Occitaine toiletries.

It goes to show, that this company in little Cabo San Lucas, is impacting our guests and home owners in a positive way.  We foresee the villa rental industry getting stronger and stronger.  Big hospitality and real estate companies are seeing this a great avenue to increase their outreach and bottom line as this trend continues to go main stream.  Companies like Lifestyle Villas will become the center of attention as these larger companies look to acquire smaller entities that are in operation, have the infrastructure, quality and reputation that they can then re brand and start operating immediately.

Overall in Los Cabos, the level of service and assets are at a high level compared to other “luxury” markets, like Hawaii or Aspen.  The Concierge villa trend, was rooted from the Destination Club model, which Lifestyle was very fortunate to be involved in since the inception of the industry.

We operated the ground services for the very first Destination Club that actually started this new industry and continue to operate various clubs to date.  The pioneer of this industry was then called Private Retreats, then morphed into the many names of Abercrombie & Kent Destination Clubs (There is a new one, don’t get them confused), Tanner & Haley, Ultimate Resort & Ultimate Escapes.  We were very fortunate to be involved in the creation of the standards and service delivery methods in 2000-2001, which then became the industry standards.  During this time, we were very busy servicing over 7,000 room nights per year.  In 2006, Tanner & Haley’s bankruptcy, was our catalyst to get our own Villa rental program running, with a similar concept, except people would pay as they go.

Though there are still some clubs around, which really is an outstanding concept, the majority of the affluent society doesn’t feel comfortable about giving large sums of money for something they don’t own or have title to. This is where Lifestyle Villas makes sense.  High in villa and operational standards, an in house team of professionals to assure that the quality of service and response time is quick and efficient, well priced villas and on top of that, an array of services included in the rental….all focused on providing an outstanding experience, where the guest leaves feeling good about everything that they experienced and making advocates  out of our own guests.

We are very excited to be able to share this with you and hopefully you can help circulate this with everyone.   This is a sign that all the sacrifices and hard work that all of us have put into our company are paying off.

By the way, Lifestyle Villas is a division of Lifestyle”.  Lifestyle provides a complete array of services which include: Lifestyle Concierge, Property, Hospitality & Destination Management Services.
