From Stays to Souvenirs: Custom Illustrations for Vacation Rentals & Destination Venues
Who needs another generic “Welcome!” sign when you can hand guests a custom illustration of your place that makes them say, “Wait… is that THIS place?!”
In today’s vacation rental world, it’s the little details that make guests remember your place — and book again. Generic welcome signs and stock art don’t cut it anymore. Travelers want something that feels personal, something that tells a story.
Why I Started Illustrating Venues
This idea started after working with boutique hotels and destinations that wanted something more memorable than standard marketing shots. I realized that a hand-drawn illustration can capture the soul of a place in a way a photo sometimes can’t — the crooked porch rail that gives a cottage charm, the fountain that locals gather around, the details that make a stay unforgettable.
That same magic works perfectly for rental hosts. A postcard or print isn’t just decoration — it becomes part of the guest experience and the property’s story.
How Hosts Use These Illustrations
Every property has a story — whether it’s a cozy cottage, a chic loft, or a grand getaway. I turn that story into a hand-drawn keepsake you can use again and again:
📬 Postcards slipped into welcome baskets (because snail mail > basic brochures)
🖼 Wall art that doubles as conversation starter and humble brag
📲 Listing photos that stand out in a sea of sameness
🎁 Take-home prints so guests remember your rental long after checkout
It’s custom. It’s clever. And let’s be honest — it’s way cooler than leaving a chocolate on the pillow.
Turn Your Rental Venue Into a Work of Art
✨ Make your listing unforgettable.
✨ Give guests something frame-worthy.
✨ And hey, maybe even rack up a few extra 5-star reviews. 😉
