Design & sustainability
A vacation rental is a home that has to work for strangers, several times a month, for years. These pieces are about the physical side of the business: layout, materials, character, and the everyday choices that decide how much a property consumes.

Why vacation rentals with a real character — a story, a setting, a point of view — stand out in a market of look-alike listings, and how to build character without gimmicks.
Sustainability in vacation rentals: what actually makes a difference
Practical ways to run a vacation rental with less energy, water and waste — from heating controls and laundry to supplies and furnishing — and how to talk about it honestly with guests.
