“How hard is it to furnish my vacation place at a distance?”

For many North American buyers, the dream of owning a vacation home, luxury villa, or rental property in Mexico comes with one big challenge: designing and furnishing at a distance.

As closing day approaches, investors quickly realize there’s more to it than meets the eye.

Instead of flying back and forth, scouring shops, or juggling multiple vendors, CRATE Interiors delivers a done-for-you solution that makes the entire process simple.

As featured recently in Mansion Global, top real estate stagers and interior designers are seeing a major shift: today’s luxury homebuyers (especially in coastal markets and resort destinations) want homes that are move-in ready and beautifully furnished on arrival, right from day one.

And it makes perfect sense. When you’re investing in a vacation home or toptier rental property in elite (and often far-flung) destinations like Puerto Vallarta, Sayulita or Punta Mita, you’re not looking to spend your afternoons tracking delivery trucks or coordinating contractors.

When images of exotic destinations beckon — soft light streaming into a hidden corner, a vibrant street scene waiting to be discovered — it’s impossible to resist.

This summer is truly the season of destination travel for many of our clients, friends, and families. From Scandinavia’s serene shores to Iceland’s dramatic landscapes, and from cosmopolitan London to the lesser-known Greek islands perfect for trekking and yoga retreats — the wanderlust is real.
