Welcome to The Designed Host
We help property owners generate more revenue and increase bookings through the power of standout interior design.
HI, WE’RE THE FOUNDERS OF THE DESIGNED HOST – ANN + ROB!
Whether you’re in the process of setting up your vacation rental property or you’re ready to overhaul an existing property, we’ll help you design and install an elevated space that feels like the perfect home away from home for all your future guests.
OUR STORY
As property owners and Airbnb hosts, we know all the ins and outs of transforming a rental property from vacant to vacation-ready quickly and without breaking the bank.
Twelve years ago, we quit the corporate hotel world, sold everything, and bought a 4-plex from Craigslist in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. We wanted to lead a different lifestyle, placing the value on people and learning their stories rather than spending all our time in a rat race. Over the years, we watched our love for functional interior design and experience in the hospitality industry grow into helping people overhaul, design, and manage their vacation rental properties. Our biggest priority is making sure every guest feels seen, known, and fully at home for their stay.
Today, we own and manage 35+ Airbnb properties. We are the go-to point of contact for every guest who comes through the doors of these properties. So when we say we get what it’s like to design a successful vacation rental with the guests always in mind, we mean it.
We work together on every project. Ann designs, and Rob installs. When we work with you, we step onto your team. We bring all our experience into every project we take on and build trust along the way (that’s the key ingredient for us in all our relationships). We’re here to guide, help, plan, execute, and celebrate with you when your listing goes live!
