From Uninspired Space to Fully Booked: Our Turn-Key Short-Term Rental Transformation

Imagine handing over the keys to your property and watching it magically transform into a money-making rental machine. No sweat, no stress—just results. That’s exactly what we did for one of our clients at Perch Properties. In this post, we’re pulling back the curtain on our turn-key service that took an empty house and turned it into a hot commodity, booked solid, even in the off-season.

The Power of Turn-Key Design

When this homeowner handed us the keys, they were trusting us to deliver something spectacular. And we did. With a mix of Hygge comfort, Pacific Northwest charm, and a dash of Mid-century Modern flair, we transformed the space into an inviting rental that guests can’t resist. Our team handled everything from concept to installation—no shopping trips or heavy lifting required. The result? A beautifully curated space that looks like it belongs in a design magazine but is ready for guests to settle in and make memories.

Prepped for Perfection

Creating a turn-key rental means more than just slapping some paint on the walls and calling it a day. We prepped every inch of the property to ensure it was guest-ready from the moment it went live. This included creating a custom digital guide for the home, packed with local tips and insider knowledge. Guests love it, and it adds that extra layer of service that turns good reviews into great ones.

Marketing That Gets the Job Done

What good is a beautifully designed space if no one sees it? We put our marketing muscles to work, capturing the best angles with professional photography and writing killer copy that grabs attention. We optimized the listing for search results on short-term rental platforms and didn’t stop there. We even created a social media presence for the property, boosting its visibility and driving more bookings. Turns out, people like pretty spaces—and we know exactly how to make them look their best online.

Securing Long-Term Success

This home came to us at the tail end of the high season, just as most rental properties were preparing for slower times. Once we worked our design magic and had the place ready to shine, we suggested a strategy the owner hadn’t considered: renting to a mid-term tenant. With our design and marketing expertise, we helped them secure a renter for the off-season at a great rate, while other homes in the area sat empty. It was a win-win—steady income for the owner and a happy tenant in a stunning space.

The Perch Properties Difference

Here’s the thing about us: we don’t do cookie-cutter. Every property we manage gets a unique, tailored approach, because no two homes—or homeowners—are alike. From design to management, we’re all about taking the stress off your plate and maximizing your property’s potential. Whether you’re looking for a short-term rental superstar or a medium-term tenant during the quiet months, we’ve got you covered with a service that’s built for flexibility and profit.
