The Vacation Edit was built for investors who understand that the right interior is not just a nice touch. It is a way to earn more money and gain a real edge over competing listings. Our approach starts with your market data, your guest profile, and your financial goals. Then we build the space around them.
Across our client portfolio, properties designed by The Vacation Edit see an average 40% lift in nightly revenue within the first booking season. Design is one of the highest-yield upgrades a rental property can receive.
Between sourcing, staging, contractor coordination, and endless decisions, the average investor loses over 200 hours trying to furnish a property on their own. We do the heavy lifting so you can focus on buying your next property, not picking throw pillows.
Properties we design maintain a 4.96-star average across major booking platforms. That rating is not just a feel-good number. It helps your listing rank higher on booking platforms, turns lookers into bookers, and gives you the confidence to hold your rate.
Every design decision is tied to your revenue goals. From layout to lighting, we choose what performs — on camera, with guests, and on your bottom line.
From ordering and deliveries to assembly, staging, and cleanup, our team handles the entire setup so your property is photo-ready and guest-ready the day we leave.
We position your property against real market data — analyzing local demand, comparable listings, and your ideal guest profile — so your design, pricing, and listing all work together to lift occupancy and nightly rates.
Strategy first. Aesthetic second. We treat every property as an asset before we treat it as an interior, and then we move fast enough that the market never gets ahead of you.
Before a single image is pulled, we study your market. We review comparable listings, analyze your guest demographics, and set the revenue benchmarks. The brief we build at this stage drives every decision that follows. Nothing is arbitrary. Nothing is guesswork.
We present a curated visual direction aligned to your property’s position in the market and your dream guest. You approve of the direction. We execute from it without revision spirals.
This is where the strategy becomes the space. We produce a complete design package: floor plan layouts, finish selections, furniture specifications, and material palettes, all mapped to your budget. Every item has been chosen for durability, photography impact, and guest experience, in that order.
We handle the ordering. Every item, every vendor, every lead time tracked and managed. Our exhaustive ordering sheet accounts for freight windows, backorder risk, and the order everything gets set up.
Most designers stop at the moodboard, we provide the manual. Every link, every quantity. Floor plans, install sequence, and a photo brief for the listing. Your crew executes against a build manual — not a mood board — and you get a ready-to-shoot property at the other end.
Working with Diana was one of the best decisions we made for our short-term rental in Largo. She combines exceptional design talent with rare professionalism, warmth, and follow-through. From the start, Diana understood exactly what makes a short-term rental successful- how to design a space that photographs beautifully, feels inviting to guests, and performs financially. Her creative vision elevated the entire property, and she delivered it all within a thoughtful, economical budget. What truly sets her apart is her White-Glove approach: excellent communication, reliability, attention to detail, and genuine care for both the client and the end result. The process felt easy, enjoyable, and efficient from start to finish. If you’re launching or upgrading a short-term rental, Diana is the designer you want on your team. She doesn’t just create beautiful spaces- she helps create experiences that guests love and owners are proud of. I recommend her wholeheartedly.
Diana absolutely crushed it on my property. The mural alone was a showstopping feature, and her whole design completely elevated the place - not just visually, but in terms of bookings and revenue. I gave her creative freedom and she delivered above and beyond. I beat my revenue goals and I'm still fully booked. I'd work with her again in a heartbeat and recommend her to anyone who wants their property to stand out.
Most Vacation Edit projects are completed within 6–8 weeks, depending on the size and scope of the property. Smaller refreshes can move faster, while larger or multi-room designs may take slightly longer. Our process is streamlined for efficiency—balancing speed with thoughtful design—so your property can start generating returns as quickly as possible. This timeline aligns with industry standards for vacation rental design, which often prioritize faster turnaround than full residential projects.
We do White Glove & Virtual Design all over the US.
Investment varies based on the size of your property, the level of customization, and the overall vision. Full-service vacation rental design typically includes space planning, sourcing, styling, and installation guidance. After an initial consultation, we provide a clear, tailored proposal so you know exactly what to expect—no surprises, just a strategic investment designed to maximize your property’s performance.
Absolutely. Every piece we select is chosen with durability, functionality, and guest experience in mind. Vacation rentals require materials and furnishings that can handle frequent use while still looking elevated and photogenic. We prioritize performance fabrics, easy-to-maintain finishes, and layouts that support high guest turnover—without compromising style. This approach is widely recognized as essential for successful short-term rental design.
Yes. Strong visuals are key to increasing bookings. We can refine your space styling, optimize layout for photography, and provide direction (or coordinate) for professional photos that highlight your property’s best features. Even small updates can significantly improve how your listing performs and how guests perceive your space.
The following projects represent a range of markets, property types and investor objectives. Each one was designed to own its category.
