A real host. A real brand. A real business.

The brief

Buenavista Stays is a boutique short-term rental business managed by Anabel — a second venture built alongside her primary work. The goal was a brand and website that could stand on its own: no reliance on third-party platforms, no generic listing aesthetic.

Anabel needed a presence that communicated the warmth and care she brings to every stay — something guests could trust before they ever arrived.

We built a complete identity system: a logo rooted in the imagery of home, sun, and water; a color palette that balances trust with warmth; and a direct booking website designed to convert curious visitors into confirmed guests.

Logo Construction

From a simple idea to a lasting brand.

The mark was built around three ideas — the home, the sun, and the waves — each carrying a distinct meaning: hospitality, warmth, and the promise of new experiences.

Strategy & Design

Warmth as a design principle.

Every decision — from the logo mark to the booking flow — was made to communicate one thing: this host genuinely cares about your stay.

Positioning

Boutique hospitality for guests who want a home, not a hotel.

Voice

Warm, personal, and confident — like a host who's genuinely excited to welcome you.

Visual Direction

Clean and inviting — navy and gold grounded in trust, cream and white for openness.

A brand guests trust before they arrive.

Buenavista Stays launched with a complete brand system and a direct booking website — giving the business a professional identity independent of any listing platform.

A complete visual identity system — logo, palette, typography, and usage guidelines.

A direct booking website designed to convert first-time visitors into confirmed guests.

A brand voice and copy framework that communicates warmth and professionalism.

A digital presence built to grow — SEO-ready, mobile-first, and platform-independent.

A guest experience that begins the moment someone lands on the site.

A foundation for direct relationships — no algorithm, no commission, no middleman.

Property Identity

The Blue Garden Studio

Each property under Buenavista Stays carries its own identity — a name, a mark, and a personality that guests remember. The Blue Garden Studio was designed around the ironwork garden furniture that defines the space: ornate, romantic, and unmistakably its own.

Name

The Blue Garden Studio

Concept

The ornate ironwork garden furniture that defines the outdoor space — roses, curves, and craftsmanship — translated into a mark that feels as considered as the property itself.

Tone

Romantic, intimate, and quietly elevated. A place for two.

Buenavista Stays is one of two businesses Anabel runs — and it needed a brand that could hold its own weight. Hospitality brands live or die on feeling. The best short-term rental sites don't just show you a space — they make you want to be there.

"The brand had to feel like the host: warm, thoughtful, and genuinely welcoming."
