STR & Investment Design
Properties guests choose
Short-term rental and investment property design built around bookings, reviews, and nightly rate — not just furniture.
The Opportunity
Guests book the photos. Reviews keep it booked.
A short-term rental competes in a grid of thumbnails. It wins on a distinctive first image, then keeps winning on the details guests write reviews about — comfort, function, and the touches that make a stay feel considered. We design for both, at a cost basis that respects the return.
What's Included
Scope of engagement
01
Concept & Identity
A distinct point of view for the property so it stands out in search instead of blending into every other rental in the market.
02
Full Furnishing Packages
Furniture, lighting, art, textiles, and styling specified for durability and turnover — priced to the property's revenue model.
03
Stocking & Guest Experience
Kitchen, linens, amenities, and the operational details that drive five-star reviews and repeat bookings.
04
Procurement & Installation
We buy it, track it, receive it, and install it — so the property goes from empty to listing-ready without you managing forty vendors.
Why AKA
Twenty years of investment real estate behind every selection
We came to short-term rental design from the investment side — renovations and new construction for investors, banks, and hedge funds. That background decides what earns its cost in a rental and what is simply expensive.
Let's talk about the property.
Send the address, the floor plan, and the target nightly rate. We will come back with a scope and an estimate.
