Welcome to the Nonpareil Family
Our Story
We're Deanna Zaccari and Lisa Giuntoli, cousins, collaborators, and the founders of Nonpareil Stays. We started this collection in 2014, born from a shared love of beautiful spaces and an obsession with getting the details right.
Deanna spent a decade at Giorgio Armani in Beverly Hills before founding her own Lifestyle agency in 2000. She began property hosting in 2010, quickly earning Airbnb Plus Property status, Brand Ambassador recognition, and Super Host standing. Her interior design projects stretch bi-coastally between Maine and Los Angeles.
Lisa built her career as a Marketing & Promotion Executive at Virgin Records, working alongside Lenny Kravitz, Janet Jackson, Tina Turner, The Rolling Stones, and Ben Harper. She later co-founded California Living, a boutique outdoor furnishings shop in LA. Her background brings together project management, interior design, and marketing, the exact combination that makes a vacation rental feel like something more.
Together, we bring over a decade of hands-on property management to every home in our collection. This blog is our way of pulling back the curtain, sharing what we've learned, what inspires us, and what makes a Nonpareil stay different from the rest.
More Than a Vacation Rental
We don't believe in 'good enough.' Every home in our collection is stocked and styled with intention, because the small things are really the big things. Hotel-quality bedding, thick towels, and thoughtfully chosen furnishings in every room. We want you to sink in and exhale the moment you arrive.
Every bathroom and kitchen is stocked with products from our partners at Public Goods, clean, minimal, and better for you and the planet. And we're particular about our morning cup: LifeBoost's smooth, low-acid coffee is waiting for you on the counter.
The Welcome Basket
Every Nonpareil stay begins with a personalized welcome basket. We're not talking about a sad granola bar and a brochure. We mean fresh fruit, sparkling water, locally roasted coffee and teas, granola, yogurt, cream, and eggs, everything you need to settle in without rushing to the grocery store.
It's a small gesture, but it sets the tone for your entire trip. You're not just checking into a rental. You're arriving somewhere that was prepared specifically for you.
How We Show Up for Our Guests
Communication is at the heart of everything we do. We're available 24/7, every single day, with a response time typically within the hour. Every guest gets clear, detailed check-in instructions and personalized attention from real people, not a call center, not a chatbot.
