Gulf Coast Vacation Rental Interior Design Services | Sugar Moss Studios
From Pass Christian to 30A, we create vintage-rich vacation rental interiors that increase bookings and delight guests.
Our Gulf Coast interior design services transform second homes and short-term rentals into spaces that feel like they've always been there—lovingly evolved, never decorated all at once.
We design homes that feel like a true escape while delivering the business results vacation rental owners need: higher occupancy rates, premium pricing, and five-star guest reviews.
Our Vacation Rental Design Philosophy
The best vacation rental spaces don't look newly finished—they look lovingly collected over time. Christina and Jennifer curate each room with vintage Gulf Coast finds, soulful art, heirloom-worthy furniture, and practical comforts that create memorable guest experiences and repeat bookings.
Designing for You and Your Guests
Whether it's a second home filled with memories or a vacation rental welcoming strangers who will soon feel like locals, Christina and Jennifer design for the complete guest experience—how it looks, how it works, and how it makes people feel.
Our Gulf Coast vacation rental designs create the kind of authentic coastal atmosphere that guests can't find in cookie-cutter properties. This translates into higher booking rates, premium pricing, and the five-star reviews that keep your calendar full.
A Collaborative Design Process
Whether it’s a second home filled with memories or a vacation rental welcoming strangers who will soon feel like locals, Christina and Jennifer design for the full experience—how it looks, how it works, and how it makes people feel.
The design process feels like a conversation
The design process feels like a conversation. Christina and Jennifer will lead you to a warm and invited space that speaks to your vision. You'll be guided, supported, and encouraged to trust your instincts while leaning on their Gulf Coast design expertise.
The result is a vacation rental that feels settled, whole, and unmistakably authentic to its coastal location—the kind of space that photographs beautifully for listings and creates experiences guests never forget.
What we're all about
How We Work With You
We believe every project is unique, just like the clients we serve. That's why we start every relationship with a complimentary consultation where we'll discuss the scope of your project, your vision, and your lifestyle needs.
During this conversation, we'll explore how to create that lived-in, collected feeling you're seeking through our signature blend of British cottage textures and curated treasures.
After understanding your goals, space, and timeline, we'll provide a detailed estimate tailored specifically to your project.
Investment Range
Our design services range from $2,500 for a single room transformation to $35,000 for comprehensive whole-home design services.
These fees cover our design expertise, project management, sourcing of both new and vintage pieces, styling, and installation coordination.
Furniture and furnishings are not included in our project fee - you'll receive a separate, detailed breakdown of all recommended pieces with transparent pricing before any purchases are made.
This approach ensures you have complete visibility into your investment and can make informed decisions about every element of your space.
