Private Trade Winds, Inc. Adds Award Winning Costa Rica Villa To Portfolio

Newport Beach, CA (PRWEB) November 15, 2011

In response to client requests, Private Trade Winds has added a spectacular and unique private villa to their portfolio of properties in Costa Rica. Prior to the acquisition of this exceptional villa, PTW represented residential homes and condos in two main resort locations in Northern and Central Costa Rica. The new addition adds another location further to the South, and large enough for weddings, retreats and private events. All the Regions of Costa Rica offer untouched natural beauty worth exploring!

The grandeur of this 10-bedroom estate in Manuel Antonio can only be rivaled by its majestic beauty and gracious hospitality. Built with heart and determination by Architect David Konwiser, the home is a perfect balance between pride and humility. The shiplike design pays homage to its peaceful resting place near the Pacific Ocean, and its very name promises spectacular views of the Sea. Angled and cantilevered, the villa is more of a boutique hotel with a decidedly modern feel, yet somehow manages to speak and cater to the individual, as well as the masses.

With sleeping accommodations for 24, and beyond ample dining and social sections, the villa is perfect for entertaining. The sights and sounds come alive on the mezzanine level with expansive views and large operable sliding glass doors bringing the ocean and jungle into this impressive double-height space. The Mezzanine looks down into both the Reception Lounge as well as the Living Room and features the DJ platform and a bridge over the main staircase. A personalized iPad2 is the most recent addition to every bedroom, and provides wireless internet, Skype, and the ability to play music off of the villa server. Ceiling-mounted speakers with a WiFi/Audio transmitter in each room allow iPhone users to play their own music wirelessly in their rooms. The 55" LED High Definition TV has been added to the home theater, as well as top quality furniture. The pool is heated to the perfect temperature, as is the solar-heated jacuzzi.

For those who enjoy cooking and revel in instruction from indigenous chefs, the Show and Industrial kitchens are sure to please. Centrally located and serving to the Events Terrace and Bar, the Show Kitchen can be a focal point for congregation as well as for cooking shows or on-site cooking classes. The adjoining industrial kitchen provides overflow space and equipment for large events as well as a tropical, ocean-view "classroom" for more serious on-site cooking instruction.

There is much to do and see in the surrounding area from zip-lining and exploring the Tropical Rain Forest to lounging on the white sandy beach just a 5 minute walk from the villa. For those who like to hit the links, a speed boat will deliver you and 11 of your closest friends to the Los Suenos Resort where white-faced monkeys watch from the trees and secretly critique game play.

Due to a recent cancellation this one of a kind villa is now available over Christmas (12/19-26/2011), with exclusive inclusions such as the use of a luxury SUV and a $ 500 villa credit, compliments of Private Trade Winds.

The US Market for Arts and Crafts to Exceed US$40 Billion by 2015, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.

San Jose, California (PRWEB) January 11, 2012

Follow us on LinkedIn ? Arts and crafts represent a principal component of socio-economic life and an integral element of the culture of every country. Like all other sectors, Arts and Crafts Stores were adversely affected by the global economic downturn which resulted in an overall decline in sales during the 2008-09 period. While consumer spending on certain types of craft declined significantly, purchases of certain other craft items such as sewing goods, cake decorating and jewelry making supplies increased, as people attempted to achieve savings by making products themselves. As a result, the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) movement gained significant traction during this period.

An out-of-the-ordinary trend that is being witnessed in recent times is that crafts that were previously the exclusive domain of the middle-aged and the older women group are now extending scope to include the younger population, even the male demography. With these and other consumers exhibiting increasing interest, stores are conducting various art related workshops to provide lessons in such skills. Further, the market is also witnessing a trend of recycling or reconstruction of old and unused items. This trend which was widely prevalent during the time of the great depression is making a comeback in the current cash constrained economic scenario. Consumers, instead of deposing items are recycling them to give them a new look and extend their functionality.

For over half-a-century, the global market for fine arts was dominated by the US and the UK. But in 2010, a marked shift was witnessed in this leadership, as China owing to its economic strength and favorable political climate overpowered the two countries and emerged into the forefront of the global fine arts auction industry. The country became a global hub for fine arts, attracting art collectors from various countries across the world.

The research report titled ?Arts and Crafts Stores: A Global Outlook? announced by Global Industry Analysts, Inc., provides a collection of statistical anecdotes, market briefs, and concise summaries of research findings. The report offers an aerial view of the industry, highlights latest trends and demand drivers, in addition to providing statistical insights. Regional markets briefly abstracted and covered include United States, Canada, Japan, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Africa The report offers a compilation of recent mergers, acquisitions, and strategic corporate developments. Also included is an indexed, easy-to-refer, fact-finder directory listing the addresses, and contact details of companies worldwide.
