We design rentals that book themselves.

From full renovations to room-by-room furnishing, we create short-term rentals that photograph beautifully, earn five-star reviews, and outperform the market. Every design decision is made with revenue in mind.

What we do

Renovation, furnishing, coordination. All of it.

01

Complete renovation design

Room-by-room renovation boards covering every space, interior and exterior. Paint, tile, fixtures, lighting, finishes, with exact product selections and purchase links your contractor can act on without a second phone call.

02

Contractor coordination and oversight

Detailed finish schedules, regular walk-throughs, and quality control throughout construction. We answer the contractor's questions so you don't have to, and we flag issues before they become expensive.

03

Furnishing design and procurement

Room-by-room furnishing boards with complete purchase sheets, order scheduling, and delivery coordination. Furniture, decor, linens, kitchen, and supply stocking, all scoped around what actually photographs and books.

04

Professional setup and staging

On-site setup coordination, styling, and staging so the first guest walks into a property that looks like the listing photos. No half-unpacked boxes, no missing essentials.

05

Punch list and quality control

Final walk-through with a detailed punch list, a round of corrections, and sign-off before guests arrive. Your first review should not be the one that finds the missing smoke detector.

Guest review
“Beautifully updated home in a quiet neighborhood. They have thought of everything and it's all new. You can learn how to rope a cow, play pool in the game room and swim in the pool. So many activities that make it extra special.”

Common questions

Before you reach out.

If yours isn't here, ask it directly. We'd rather answer now than surprise you later.

Our primary focus is the Texas Hill Country and greater Austin area, including Fredericksburg, Wimberley, Dripping Springs, Canyon Lake, Marble Falls, and nearby markets. We know these markets deeply, which makes our design recommendations more relevant. Reach out to discuss your specific location.
Every project is different. Timelines depend on property size, scope of renovation, furniture availability, and contractor schedules. We'll give you a realistic timeline during your initial consultation.
No. Design services are available independently. That said, many clients do both, and when you're using us for management we have additional insight into what design choices actually drive bookings and reviews in your specific market.
Yes. A common starting point is our Refresh & Optimize package, where we assess what you have, recommend what to keep, what to replace, and what to add. We're practical about budget. If a piece works, we'll tell you.
We serve the Texas Hill Country and greater Austin area including Fredericksburg, Wimberley, Dripping Springs, Canyon Lake, New Braunfels, Johnson City, Marble Falls, Lago Vista, Spicewood, Driftwood, and surrounding communities.
