Hire the studio that bets on its own designs.

Every recommendation we make is one we've already tested with our own money, our own properties, and our own guests. That's the Karve difference.

What We Do

Three ways to work together

Good Questions

Before we begin

Do you only work on short-term rentals?

No — Karve began in custom residential redesign, and private homes remain core to the studio. The STR work simply lets us prove our design decisions with hard performance data.

What does "you own what you design" actually mean?

We own and operate our own portfolio of short-term rentals. Every material, layout, and amenity recommendation we make to clients has been pressure-tested on properties where our own revenue depends on the outcome.

Where do you take projects?

Our portfolio spans Georgia, Florida, and South Carolina, and we take on redesign and STR launch projects across the Southeast. If you're outside the region, reach out anyway — we evaluate every project individually.

Can you help me buy the right property in the first place?

Yes. Purchase guidance is part of our Full STR Launch service — we help you underwrite the market, the layout, and the design potential before you make an offer, because the best design decision is often the acquisition itself.

What does a project cost?

Every project is fully tailored, so scope drives the number. Share your property and goals through the form below and we'll come back with an honest read on budget ranges before any commitment.
