We were one of the first members to join Distinctive we took the 3 week membership option after hearing about it from a friend of ours. We took the plunge as this kind of vacation option was perfect for our family. We have been able to book where we want and when we want, and the service and attention to detail is just great, things like a local cellular phone so we don’t pay high roaming costs, a BMW to drive when we are staying at one of the houses and the food and beverage included, and already waiting are really great. The staff goes that extra mile by having breakfast prepared every day and the daily laundry service is a real bonus. We really like the mix of homes and boats and we have just returned from a weekend sailing on the 53 foot yacht “Follow Me” it is a beautiful yacht and Sam the captain looked after us all very well. We are booked on the 86 foot motor yacht “Lady K” for 10 days this August and can’t wait. The homes are amazing, they are beautifully appointed, with every little detail taken into account like daily newspapers, lots of books to read, a great selection of movies on DVD to watch, Internet access ( even on the yachts), the cars have navigation and they pre-program places of interest to make it easy for you to get around. We are really looking forward to spending this Christmas in Australia at the Noosa property.
