design inspired from both sides of the stay
Boheme Beach was organically grown from a vacation rental office in Folly Beach, South Carolina. What started as a property management role quickly turned into doing…it all. Working for a small, locally owned company meant being involved in every part of the business, from guest experience, homeowner relations, revenue management, accounting, and operations. Being that close to every moving piece provided a real, ground-level understanding of what makes a vacation rental work. I’ve seen what happens when properties are designed without that context: strong locations underperforming, inconsistent bookings, and revenue left on the table.
From there, Boheme Beach was born.
Every project is approached with a balance of design, function, and market awareness. From layout and durability to listing presence and photography, each decision is made to ensure the space not only looks elevated, but performs in a competitive market. A well-designed space isn't just beautiful, it performs. It drives bookings, earns better reviews, and supports a higher ADR.
Higher occupancy rates and more consistent bookings

I know this industry from the inside out, not from reading about it, but from living it. I’ve managed properties, handled guest issues at all hours, tracked reviews, and learned exactly what drives performance and what doesn’t.
That experience shapes every decision I make as a designer. It’s the difference between a space that photographs well and one that actually performs and in the short-term rental market, that distinction is everything.
Every decision is filtered through two questions: does it feel intentional, and will it hold up to real guests in a real rental. If the answer isn’t yes to both, it doesn’t make it into the space. Beautiful and high-performing aren't a tradeoff. With the right designer, they're the same thing.
