Nautical Airbnb interior design in Tampa, Florida
A coastal, fisherman-themed short-term rental in Tampa, designed and fully furnished to stand out in the feed and book. Here is the project, room by room.
Stand out in a crowded Tampa market
Competition is fierce in the world of short term rentals. Getting potential guests to click on your listing and book it can be tough. Great Airbnb design, useful amenities and good pictures can definitely make a difference. However, once booked, your place needs to actually feel cozy and be functional even beyond the pictures and listing description. If you are investing in a short-term rental, our Airbnb interior design services in Florida are the right choice.
Living areas
In this Florida short term rental, we imagined it as a sailor or fisherman’s base who has been travelling the seas. While at home, he would gather with his friends and family. We tried to add a lot of personality and nods to boat, fish, and travel, while being family and kids friendly. We added a lot of warm and natural materials like wood, rattan, glass, and velvet for a welcoming vibe. This Airbnb design definitely feels calming and nature conscious.
Bedrooms and bathrooms
As for the bedrooms, the master one was so large that you could think of a captain’s quarters on an old sail ship. The king size canopy bed with the wall lanterns and the red curtains add a dimension of wealth and drama to the bedroom. The second one is the first class cabin, as if on a vacation cruise, with portholes, a classy wooden bed, white and blue striped curtains and some colorful wall art inviting you to lounge and take it easy. I nicknamed the last one “under the sea” with this fish wallpaper and those shades of blue and teal, and this bedroom is kids friendly with the two full beds. Quality bedding and a considered color palette carry the theme into every room.
Each bathroom is in harmony with the respective bedroom’s mood.
Outdoor
Finally, the pool area and backyard are really beautiful and they are a strong differentiator compared to other listings. Make sure those areas are not left out of your Airbnb design. Here, we carried over the idea of vacationing where the guests would want to spend time and relax. There are many lounging areas, a dining table and plenty of games. Some touches of marine and fishing decor make it inviting, and at night it is really cozy.

Tampa Bay is a crowded market of near-identical rentals. A clear theme, sharp styling, and photos that stop the scroll are what earn the click and let a listing hold a higher nightly rate. See how to design an Airbnb that books.
