Before: Star of the Sea Master Bath
Before the renovation, this master bath had a raised jetted tub set on tiered beige stone steps, a marble-surround fireplace, and a glass-enclosed shower with chrome fixtures. Beige walls, wood-look floors, and horizontal blinds made the large space feel heavy and dated.
✦ After: Star of the Sea Master Bath
After the renovation, a sculptural freestanding soaking tub now sits in a bay of black-framed windows that fill the room with natural light. Crisp white walls, white mosaic tile floors, and an open walk-in shower with matte black fixtures give the space a bright, modern spa feel.
Before: Shipwatch Master Bath
Original shower stall with brass fixtures, dated tile, and a separate garden tub. Functional but well past its prime.
✦ After: Shipwatch Master Bath Shower
Walk-in glass shower with a rain head, geometric tile wall, freestanding soaking tub, and a crystal chandelier overhead.
Before: Shipwatch Back Deck
Dated hot tub on a weathered wood deck, with limited seating and no pool.

Private pool, composite deck, umbrella seating, and open Gulf views. A complete outdoor transformation.

✦ After: Shipwatch Exterior
Blue-grey siding, white trim, paver driveway, and a clean modern facade. A complete curb appeal overhaul.
The Tivoli Townhome Renovation Outcome
The Tivoli townhome in Sandestin grossed $36,000 in 2018 under different management. Since joining BBV's management program and undergoing BBV's enhancements, this vacation home produces over $70,000 a year in rental revenue with heavy owner usage.
Before: Tivoli Living Area
Dark furniture, dated drapes, and a cramped layout. The Tivoli townhome before BBV's renovation.
✦ After: Tivoli Living Area
Open, airy layout with a geometric pendant light, large TV console, blue and white coastal furnishings, and French doors to the patio. Revenue jumped from $36,000 to over $70,000 a year.
Before: Tivoli Dining Area
Overhead view of the open-plan dining and living space: dated furniture, Persian rug, and a cluttered layout that made the room feel smaller than it was.
✦ After: Tivoli Dining Area
Gray painted cabinets, a round wood dining table with blue upholstered chairs, antler chandelier, and patterned drapes. A complete turnaround from the original space.
Before: Tivoli Master Bedroom
Teal walls, pink curtains, a four-poster bed, and carpet throughout. A dated room that wasn't earning its share of the rental revenue.
✦ After: Tivoli Master Bedroom
White upholstered headboard, whitewashed dresser, blue patterned drapes, and hardwood floors. A room guests remember and return for.
Before: Tivoli Bunkroom
A converted office with carpet, a wall-mounted TV, built-in desk, and plaid ottomans. Sleeping capacity was being left on the table.
✦ After: Tivoli Bunkroom
Custom white built-in bunks with under-bed storage, shiplap accent wall, hardwood floors, and teal coastal accents. A room that now sleeps more guests and earns its keep.
The St. Maarten Silver Shells Condo Renovation Outcome
Prior to joining BBV's management program, this 3 bedroom St Maarten in Silver Shells condo generated $23,900 in rental revenue when the summer season rental rate was $525 per night. BBV completely updated this vacation home and it generated over $42,000 within the first three months. The summer season rental rate was increased to $650 per night, $125 more per night, and the summer fully booked out. With limited owner occupancy in summer and spring seasons, this Destin gem will produce $90,000 to $95,000 a year. What a difference a face lift makes to your revenue stream!
Before: St Maarten Living Area
Dated furniture, warm-toned drapes, and a cluttered layout that undersold the Gulf views this condo had all along.
✦ After: St. Maarten Living Area
Clean coastal palette, white upholstered seating, and an open layout that finally lets the Gulf views do the talking. Summer rates jumped from $525 to $650 per night and the season fully booked out.
Before: St Maarten Master Bedroom
Warm-toned walls, a painted armoire, and carpet throughout. Gulf views were there, just buried under dated finishes.
✦ After: St. Maarten Master Bedroom
Shiplap accent wall, white dresser, blue linen bedding, and hardwood floors. The Gulf is right outside those sliding doors and now the room feels like it belongs there.
Silver Beach Towers Renovation Outcome
90% of the two bedroom vacation homes in Silver Beach Towers rent for $405 to $425 per night during peak summer season. Once we modernized this unit on a limited budget, we completely booked the summer season at $600 to $700 per night. The occupancy and nightly rates overall have exceeded our expectations, this 2 bedroom condo is in high demand and groses over $111,000 per annum in rental revenue. A little paint and updated furnishings go a long way!

Dark four-poster bed, carpet, heavy wood furniture, and beige walls. A dated layout that undersells the Gulf location.
✦ After: Silver Beach Towers Master Bedroom
Tufted linen headboard, hardwood floors, floor-to-ceiling Gulf views, and coastal artwork. A room that sells itself in photos.
