Did you recently purchase a vacation rental, or are you looking to acquire an investment property and need guidance on renovations that will boost your rental rates and maximize your ROI?

Or do you have a furnished rental that could benefit from higher occupancy rates and ideally increased rental prices?

Either way, you’ve come to the right place.

Guests have higher expectations, and with more rentals on the market, great design and styling is essential to help you compete and make a strong first impression. Simply listing your rental on Airbnb and Vrbo isn't enough these days— great design and stunning photos are key! Our Crocodile Cottage Packages are the ideal way to quickly refresh your rental, giving it a new look that stands out in photos, all while taking the stress and decision-making off your plate.

Our design difference:

1. We know the Cultural Coast inside and out—both as lifelong residents and frequent vacationers. We're familiar with the Sarasota and Manatee Airbnb vacation rental market and can help you create the perfect space to attract your ideal guests.

2. Package Pricing – We get it, every day your rental sits empty, you’re losing money. That’s why our Crocodile Cottage Package is designed specifically for vacation and short-term rentals, giving you a quick, effective, and beautifully designed space that your guests will love. And if you’re not local, don’t worry—our entire design process can be done virtually!

3. Save Time (especially if you're not local) – If you don’t live in Sarasota or Manatee County, no worries! We’ll handle everything for you, so you can skip the endless phone calls and trips to meet with contractors. Plus, we stay up-to-date on the latest short-term rental trends, which means we can source products way faster than if you tried to do it yourself—saving you from a potentially overwhelming experience!

4. Save Money – We have access to hundreds of vendors and know exactly where to invest in durable, high-quality items, and where it makes sense to save. Our design process lets you see everything before making any decisions, helping you avoid those expensive mistakes with contractors or furniture that can add up quickly!
