Featured Property: Abercrombie & Kent Residence Club Los Cabos
By: Destination Club News
Date: December 20, 2009
In a close contest between three of the destination club industry's leading clubs, the Abercrombie & Kent Residence Club's Casa Miramar has edged out Exclusive Resorts and Quintess in our weekly readers' vote for favorite property, this week focusing on a travel favorite, Cabo.
The two story, four bedroom, four and one half bath Abercrombie & Kent residence in Cabo del Sol was custom built to incorporate modern amenities with a classical Mexican design. The three master bedrooms all feature private balconies and stunning ocean views, and the fourth bedroom includes two twin beds, allowing eight guests to sleep comfortably. Overlooking the Sea of Cortez and the Ocean and Desert golf courses, both designed by Jack Nicklaus, the avid golfer can also frequent courses designed by Tom Weiskopt, Robert Trent Jones II, and Tom Fazio, all in close proximity. For those not looking to the greens, pristine beaches dominate the landscape for miles and sightseeing, fishing, diving, and other activities are available in no short supply.
 The gourmet kitchen showcases Sub Zero and Wolf appliances, hand-laid tile, custom cabinetry, and granite countertops, and the great room boasts 25-foot ceilings, but the best amenity may be outside of the home. The rear of the home opens to a large heated infinity pool, blurring the lines between the pool, ocean, and sky. The outside sitting area is complete with a fire pit and lounge chairs are just steps from the pool, ideal for soaking in the sun or gazing at the stars.
As with other properties within the Abercrombie & Kent Residence Club portfolio, Casa Miramar features:
- Pratesi linens
- iPod docking stations
- Schott Zwiesel glassware
- Villeroy & Boch dishware
- Chadworth & Haig custom robes
- Dell computers and printers
- Aqua di Parma bath products
- Baby gates and audio monitors
- X-Box game consoles
Earlier this month, the Abercrombie & Kent Residence Club discounted their membership prices by 40%, letting potential members save nearly $200,000 off the highest club option. Without question one of the most significant promotions currently available in the destination club industry, others are also offering attractive prices and benefits to new members. Capricorne Villas is letting members set their own prices as part of their current incentive and the world's second largest destination club, Ultimate Escapes, has two exciting programs currently available to new members. New members of Ultimate Escapes can enjoy free annual dues for their first year with the club or free airfare to any Ultimate Escapes residence during their first year. The free annual dues promotion is available for a limited time and the free airfare incentive is scheduled to conclude at the end of the year.
With Christmas less than a week away and much of the nation locked in a brutal snowstorm, jetsetting off to Mexico looks more and more appetizing and with such steep discounts and added benefits currently available, we will see if some of the industry's leading clubs continue their positive Q4 momentum into the coming year.
