When Vacation Homes Evolve — and So Should the Design

Who’s ready for an upgrade? This past summer, many of our loyal homeowners and real estate investors joined our SUMMER☀️ REFRESH campaign — updating their vacation homes with elevated furnishings, new bedding, re-upholstered outdoor seating and luxe finishing touches that make a property feel brand new again.

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.
