Your vacation rental isn't just a pretty space - it's an investment.
Vacation Rental and Short Term Rental Design
THE ROI OF GREAT DESIGN
Imagine a property that books itself. One that earns five-star reviews without you coaching guests, commands premium rates without hesitation, and turns first-time renters into repeat bookers who rave about it to their friends.
✓ Strategy-Driven Design: We don't decorate—we position. Every choice is intentional, researched, and designed to appeal to your ideal guest and justify your nightly rate.
✓ Spaces That Stop the Scroll: In a sea of listings, yours stands out. Photography-ready interiors that make guests click "Book Now" before they even finish scrolling.
✓ Built for Turnover, Designed for Luxury: High-end finishes that actually last. Durable materials that look stunning in person and hold up to guest after guest—no constant replacements.
✓ Reviews That Sell For You: When your space exceeds expectations, guests do your marketing. We create interiors that generate the kind of reviews that keep your calendar full.
✓ Market Positioning That Pays: Strategic storytelling through design. Your property doesn't just look good—it clearly communicates value, justifying premium pricing in any market.
Our Approach
-
Market Research & Competitive Analysis
We start where most designers don't - with data. Before a single mood board, we dive into your market: what's booking, what's sitting empty, and what guests are actually willing to pay for. This is where strategy begins.
-
Ideal Guest Profiling & Positioning
Who's your dream guest? Beach families? Romantic couples? We get crystal clear on who you want to attract, what they value, and how to position your property as their obvious choice. Every design decision flows from this.
-
Concept Development & Strategic Sourcing
Now the creative work begins. We develop design concepts that speak directly to your ideal guest while standing out from your competition. Every finish, fixture, and furniture piece is selected for both beauty and durability—because your property needs to look stunning and withstand guest turnover.
-
Photo-Ready Styling & Execution
The final layer is where magic happens. We style your space to photograph beautifully (because that's where bookings happen), ensure every detail is guest-ready, and—for full-service clients—art direct your photoshoot so your listing stops the scroll.
Note: Only included for full-service design.
“We went from 60% occupancy and mediocre reviews to consistently booked at premium rates. But honestly? The difference is in the details. Guests comment on how comfortable and beautiful the home is. It's clear this wasn't just decorated, it was designed with real thought. Now we're charging 40% more per night than our competitors, and guests are rebooking for future trips.”
— Sarah M., Coastal Property Owner

We're a boutique firm specializing in coastal design—not a large-scale operation churning out cookie-cutter properties. While many STR design companies use generic templates that could work anywhere, we have deep expertise in coastal aesthetics, durability requirements, and the unique demands of beach and waterfront properties.
Our designs are strategic and tailored. We research your specific market, define your ideal guest, and create spaces that reflect your property's coastal location while standing out from local competition. You're working directly with experienced designers who understand coastal living—not getting a one-size-fits-all formula applied to your property.
Every project gets personalized attention, thoughtful curation, and design that actually fits your location and market. That level of care and specialization is what sets boutique firms apart.
-
We can absolutely incorporate quality existing pieces if they fit the design strategy. During our consultation, we'll assess what works, what doesn't, and create a plan that maximizes your budget.
-
For Full-Service clients, yes—we style the property and provide art direction for your photoshoot to ensure your listing photos convert browsers into bookers. Design-Only clients receive detailed styling guidelines to implement themselves.
-
That's what the consultation is for! We'll talk through your timeline, budget, and how hands-on you want to be, then recommend the best fit. No pressure—just honest guidance.
