Our newish vacation rental is ready for summer bookings! We purchased this duplex property with our good friends and business partners back in April. We have plans to renovate both sides but since one side has a long term renter with a lease we figured we would give the other side a quick update and get it listed on VRBO for summer rentals.
Taking our design choices from how we live and why we travel, it's chic and organic with wood furnishings, rattan and neutral linens. The warm tones, natural surfaces and local flavors create a unique laid back atmosphere for our guests to slow down, sleep in and stay a little longer.
The two bedrooms sleep 4 comfortably. The master bedroom has a comfy king size bed, washed cotton linens, a minimal design, views of the tropical palms and access to private backyard. The high ceilings allowed us to incorporate statement art above the bed, an oversized print from local photographer, Jimmy Wilson.
The second bedroom was designed to create a balance between private and shared. This room has two twins that can be pushed together to create a king (upon request). Styled with art from a local drone photographer, Brad Gleaton, muted neutrals, layered textures and stonewashed cotton linens.
We used a simplified colored pallet in the living room but we layered in lots of textures which creates a streamlined but cozy vibe. The living room is styled with fun coffee table books, local magazines, a drawing from local artist, Danielle Waldrop and greenery. The sofa has a queen size pull out bed for 2 more guests if needed.
To be honest, the kitchen and bathrooms are still a bit dated (but they won't be for long). The kitchen is stocked with the essentials and seamlessly merges with with the living room and dining, creating one big gathering space.
The outdoor space has custom wood dining table, fire pit and string lighting!
This property is a passion project of ours, pulling inspiration from our surroundings, our travels and our local culture. It's simple, modern, comfortable, and has details that may be tiny, but they will make you feel you’re in the home of a friend.
Stay Tuned...
This is just Unit A! Unit B is coming soon! In the fall we plan to renovate both sides: kitchens, bathrooms, floors, exterior paint and landscaping. When renovations are done both sides will be vacation rentals!
