ABC has featured LuxJB’s Stark Mansions, showcasing why some of the world’s most influential guests — including global icons, business leaders, and royal families — choose these Beverly Hills estates for long-term luxury stays. The segment highlights how LuxJB continues to redefine elite travel with modern mega-mansions designed for complete privacy, security, and comfort.

Why ABC Highlighted Stark Mansions

ABC’s coverage focuses on the increasing demand for true luxury accommodations in Los Angeles. Unlike traditional rentals or short-term platforms, Stark Mansions offer a level of sophistication and exclusivity that aligns with the expectations of ultra-high-net-worth guests.

The network emphasized that LuxJB is one of the few companies offering newly built, fully furnished mega-estates in Beverly Hills Flats — a neighborhood known for attracting celebrities, royalty, and global decision-makers.

Inside LuxJB: How Hank Stark Built Los Angeles’ Most Exclusive Collection of Luxury Vacation Rentals

In a city defined by style and cinematic living, LuxJB has become one of the most respected names in high-end vacation and mansion rentals. Founded by Hank Stark, a luxury real estate developer and hospitality entrepreneur with a 25-year history in the industry, LuxJB owns and manages a portfolio of luxury villas & mega-mansions in Beverly Hills, The Flats, Hollywood Hills, and West Hollywood.

As the driving force behind LuxJB, Hank Stark has built an empire of resort-style, award-winning properties that cater to the most discerning clientele. Known collectively as THE STARK COLLECTION, these estates are not only exclusive — they are built for unforgettable experiences.

“We’ve been setting the standards for ultra-luxury living in LA since 2015” says Hank Stark.

“Every villa is designed like a magazine cover but lived in like a private home” Stark explains. “That balance between beauty and livability is what keeps guests coming back.”

Unlike most vacation rental companies that act as brokers, LuxJB is an owner-developer. Every villa is custom-designed, staged, and managed in-house, allowing the company to deliver unmatched quality and luxury — without the middleman. Each vacation home features layouts ideal for summer holidays, romantic weekend getaways, relocations, and extended or corporate stays.

“We don’t broker or list other people’s properties,” Stark explains: “Everything in the LuxJB collection is ours. That means no middle-man, no booking fees or commissions, no third-party delays, and a hotel-level experience that guests can trust from beginning to end.”

All LuxJB villas are gated and surrounded by mature privacy hedges. Nestled in the most prestigious and family-friendly neighborhoods, yet within walking distance to Rodeo Drive and West Hollywood attractions, they offer the perfect balance of privacy and proximity.

This rare combination of tranquility and central access is one of the key reasons VVIP clientele — including royal families and top Fortune 500 executives from Asia and Europe — choose to stay at LuxJB villas and mansions.

Stark says, “Hotels are cute. But luxury-travelers deserve better.”

Whether it’s VILLA ALFI  VILLA MANDARIN VILLA ROYALE or VILLA PASHA, each home is outfitted with luxury furnishings, curated design, and luxury amenities.

These aren’t just homes that were converted into rentals — every villa was specifically developed as a luxury vacation home, down to the materials, fully-equipped kitchens, Egyptian cotton linens and towels, Vera Wang dishware, and lifestyle-driven features. Guests enjoy in-house chefs, daily housekeeping, and personalized amenities tailored to their needs.

What sets LuxJB’s villas apart is the space, and luxury they offer — far beyond what a typical five-star hotel provides in L.A. Amenities include heated pool, jacuzzi, movie room, sauna, gym, pool table, pickleball and basketball courts.

“Once you stay with us, you’ll never want to settle for less” Stark says.

The luxury experience begins the moment our guests land in L.A. LuxJB offers complimentary airport pick-up — a level of service that even most five-star hotels no longer provide. Guests can also enjoy LuxJB’s fleet of Range Rovers and Escalades waiting at their villa, allowing them to skip the hassle of LAX traffic and long lines.

“We don’t measure ourselves against other vacation rentals” Hank Stark notes. “Our competition is the Four Seasons and the Waldorf Astoria. We’re offering more space, more privacy, and better service”

LuxJB’s smallest villa features 5 bedrooms and can host 10 guests. Beverly Hills mansion rentals offer up to 9 bedrooms and 14 baths and can host up to 18 guests. Property sizes range from 6,500 square feet to 2 acres. Nightly rates range from $1,900 to $29,000.

Why guests trust LuxJB and keep coming back?

“They return because they know what to expect. We’re hands-on from the first inquiry to checkout — and our guests feel that. Most of our guests are families with children and business travelers who value trust, service, and peace of mind.

They are always in direct contact with us, ensuring a smooth and seamless experience before, during, and after their stay. This means no delayed responses, no double bookings, no last-minute host cancellations, and no inaccurate or missing amenities like you might typically encounter with Airbnbs”

“We’re not for everyone” Stark says plainly.

 “Our guests choose us for the unmatched privacy & comfort, prime locations, and unique amenities that simply can’t be found in standard vacation rentals. This level of quality and care comes at a premium, and we’re proud to deliver an experience that reflects that value.

We don’t chase volume. We’re highly selective about who we host. Since we’re not under pressure to fill nights, we have the freedom to prioritize quality over quantity. We know our rates aren’t within everyone’s budget — and that’s okay. What matters is that we’re the premier choice for luxury travelers, and our villas are the highest-rated with glowing reviews”

“You won’t find our villas on 50 websites,” Stark says. “We respect that model, but we prefer to stay exclusive.”

LuxJB’s primary booking channel is its own website: www.luxjb.com

The booking process is simple, smooth, and more secure than Airbnb. The company has a dedicated 24/7 live chat and guest support teams that responds to each inquiry within 5 minutes.

LuxJB does not offer self check-in. A dedicated villa manager greets guests at check-in and provides a walkthrough to ensure a seamless stay.
