Fixer-Upper Feature: Golfside Revival – Durants
Set against the serene backdrop of the Durants Golf Course, this two-story semi-gated apartment complex combined the best of both worlds — short-term and long-term rental potential. Yet, despite its location, the upper apartment remained vacant while the lower Airbnb struggled to gain traction.
That changed when Dulcedo stepped in. Within just two months, the lower apartment achieved Airbnb Superhost status — a testament to our commitment to strategy, style, and precision property care.
Transformation
The 20-year-old property had charm but needed modern touches and tighter functionality. Working within a modest budget, Dulcedo focused on impact and value:
- Fresh paintwork to brighten interiors and refresh the curb appeal.
- New faucets in kitchen and bathrooms for a polished, updated look.
- New linens and soft furnishings across both levels to elevate comfort and consistency.
- Inventory and storage space created to streamline operations and reduce clutter.
- Landscaping revival to reframe the golf-course views and outdoor experience.
- Solar panels serviced and updated for efficiency and sustainability.
- Window and screen repairs to improve ventilation and aesthetics.
- Security upgrades: with no front gates initially, Dulcedo designed and installed dual fence gates — a practical yet stylish solution offering both privacy and peace of mind.
- Appliance upgrades: replaced the faulty bathtub, added a new refrigerator and coffee maker, and discarded outdated items.
- Workspace and comfort enhancements: new office chair and table in both apartments, refreshed patio furnishings, and bathroom accent updates throughout.
Result
The transformation re-energized both units, creating a clean, comfortable, and secure space for guests and long-term tenants alike. While the property may not boast a pool, its revived interiors, improved function, and sweeping golf-course views now attract consistent bookings and strong guest reviews — proving that thoughtful upgrades and proactive management deliver measurable results.
