It seems like there are paid services that will give you interior design to set up an str, buy new furniture, ship it and install it. Or you can DIY from Facebook marketplace, Craigslist, thrift stores and furniture stores.
But is there anyone you can pay to help you DIY, to take advantage of local offerings and your own labor, while still not doing it wholly on your own? Specifically looking at the area near Sneads Ferry, NC. Thanks!
I hired a virtual designer for a few thousand dollars and after giving her dimensions/walkthrough she had a buy list and floor plan ready in two weeks. I think i saved money using her vs buying myself because she also found really affordable furniture. As a result, I'm getting booked a lot by women (bachelorette parties, family trips) and my revenue has really beat expectations. The whole house looks on-theme and inoffensive.
Where did you find your virtual designer?

I think that it would largely depend on the management contract that you have with them. Generally the managing company would continue to collect their management fee for any bookings they arranged.
If the owner was responsible for the booking, and you are simply taking care of people as they are there (you mentioned that it is a BnB), AND your contract does not state any terms for canceling they probably can do whatever they want.
