The STR Edit

Guest-Ready Staging for Short-Term Rentals

How I Support Property Managers

When you want to onboard a new STR client but their property isn't ready, everything stalls. That's where The STR Edit comes in. I partner with property management companies and property owners to prep, stage, and set up short-term rentals quickly and cost-effectively - so you can get properties onboarded, listed, and earning income without delay.

My Design Philosophy

At The STR Edit, I believe great design shouldn’t come with a luxury price tag — especially when it comes to short-term rental staging. I work with property management companies and STR owners to transform underprepared properties into guest-ready spaces that look incredible, feel welcoming, and book faster — all without overspending.

I specialize in budget-conscious short-term rental design, blending curated aesthetics with real-world functionality. My process starts with understanding the vision of each property and the goals of the owner — whether it's maximizing bookings, increasing revenue, or simply getting listed faster.

By sourcing high-quality, cost-effective furnishings — often second-hand or gently used — I create spaces that feel elevated, yet financially smart. I focus on what matters most for the guest experience: standout focal points, fully stocked kitchens, cozy linens, and thoughtful amenities that turn good reviews into great ones.

Working with me means:

  • Transparent communication

  • Clear timelines and cost breakdowns

  • A staging and setup partner who understands STR success metrics

If you're a property manager or a potential client that is struggling to get an STR across the finish line, The STR Edit helps turn “almost ready” into rental-ready and revenue-generating, with design that works as hard as you do.

"We love how the spaces were cozy with comfortable couches & chairs. Great beds. Kitchen well-equipped. We really felt we had all we needed.
