Question 1

What short-term rental design services does Cynthia Stays Curated offer?

Accepted Answer

Cynthia Stays Curated offers four virtual short-term rental interior design packages: New Property Virtual Design with Links, New Property Virtual Design + Ordering, Property Refresh Virtual Design with Links, and Property Refresh + Ordering. The Vision package defines the space concept and feel; Craft adds detailed furniture, material, and fixture curation; Execute covers full implementation from sourcing through ordering management.

Question 2

Is the short-term rental design consultation really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The initial design consultation at Cynthia Stays Curated is complimentary. During this call, Cynthia reviews the property layout, target guest profile, platform (Airbnb or Vrbo), and budget before recommending a design package. There is no obligation to proceed.

Question 3

Does Cynthia design short-term rentals remotely?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All short-term rental interior design packages are delivered entirely virtually. Cynthia works with Airbnb and Vrbo hosts across the United States without requiring an in-person site visit.

Question 4

What is the difference between the Vision, Craft, and Execute design packages?

Accepted Answer

Vision establishes the design direction — how the space feels, flows, and is experienced. Craft goes deeper with curated product selections, material choices, and layout plans with sourced product links. Execute is the full-service option: Cynthia provides sourced links and manages the ordering process end-to-end, so hosts receive a complete procurement plan they can act on immediately.

Question 5

How does virtual STR design work if you have never seen my property in person?

Accepted Answer

Cynthia works from detailed property information provided by the host — including floor plans, dimensions, photos, and listing goals. Virtual design is standard practice in the STR design industry and allows hosts anywhere in the United States to access professional design services without geographic restrictions.

Question 6

Can you help with a short-term rental property refresh, or only new builds?

Accepted Answer

Both. Cynthia Stays Curated offers new property design packages for hosts starting from scratch, and property refresh packages for hosts who want to update, elevate, or rebrand an existing rental. Refresh packages include the option for sourced product links only or full ordering management.

Question 7

Will a professionally designed short-term rental earn more on Airbnb?

Accepted Answer

Professionally designed short-term rentals typically earn higher nightly rates, attract more bookings, and receive better guest reviews than comparable properties with generic or inconsistent design. Cynthia's approach focuses specifically on what guests notice, reach for, and remember — the details that drive return visits and positive ratings on platforms like Airbnb and Vrbo.
