Vacation rental websites, done for you

Your place deserves its own front door.

We build your direct booking website, connect the booking system you already use and publish the local content that gets you found. You don't write a word.

$99 a month · No setup fee · No booking commission · Works with OwnerRez, Hostaway, Hospitable, Lodgify and more

The cost of renting your guests

Every booking, the platform takes its cut. Every repeat booking, it takes it again.

Marketplaces are good at introducing you to new guests. The trouble is paying the introduction fee on the family that's coming back for the fifth summer.

15.5%

What most hosts pay under Airbnb’s single-fee structure, which applies to hosts who use property management software.

5% + 3%

Vrbo’s pay-per-booking commission plus its payment processing fee.

On your own site: card processing, and that’s it.

How it works

The website project, minus the project.

Owners don't put off their website because they doubt it matters. They put it off because it's a job. So we took the job.

  1. Send us what you have

    Your current website, your Airbnb or Vrbo listing, or both. We pull the photos, descriptions, amenities and policies from there.

  2. We build it

    A custom site designed around your place, with your booking system's checkout wired in. You review a working preview, not a mockup.

  3. We launch it on your domain

    We handle DNS and redirects so existing links and rankings carry over. If you don't have a domain yet, we'll help you pick one.

  4. It keeps growing

    Every week your site gains new local pages. Need a change? Tell your site's AI agent, or on Concierge, tell us.

The full process →

Found on Google and in AI search

Travellers are asking questions. Your site should be the one answering.

“Where should we stay near Mammoth with three families?” An AI assistant answers that by reading a few specific, local, well-structured pages. Most rental sites don't have any. Yours will get new ones every week.

  • Area guides

    Trails, beaches, lifts, restaurants and drive times, with real place names. The pages people read while deciding where to stay.

  • Guest-type pages

    Families, couples, big groups, dog owners, remote workers. Each gets a page that says why your place suits them.

  • Answers, marked up

    Question-and-answer blocks on every page with FAQ structured data, so search engines and AI assistants can lift them directly.

  • Rental schema

    Amenities, occupancy, location and reviews described in the machine-readable format search engines use for places to stay.

Keep your booking software

We're the front door, not another back office.

Your calendar, channel sync and payments stay exactly where they are. We embed your booking system's own checkout, so availability is always live and the money goes straight to you.

Built for your kind of stay

A ski guest and a beach family are not asking the same things.

Pricing

One flat price. The platform is identical; the difference is people.

Questions

The ones we hear first

Does VacayDirect process bookings or payments?

No. Bookings, payments and calendars run through your own booking system, such as OwnerRez, Hostaway, Hospitable, Lodgify, Guesty or Hostfully. We embed that system's checkout in your site. The money goes straight to you and we never take a commission.

What if I don't have a website yet?

We build from your Airbnb or Vrbo listing: photos, description, amenities, house rules and reviews you have the right to reuse.

Should I leave Airbnb and Vrbo?

Most owners shouldn't. Marketplaces are effective at reaching new guests. Your own site is for repeat guests, referrals and everyone who searches for you by name or asks a specific question about your area.

How do I make changes?

Chat with your site's AI agent in plain English: "swap the hero photo for the sunset one", "add a page about the new sauna". It makes the change and shows you a preview before publishing. On Concierge, you can simply email us and a person handles it.

Do I own my site?

Yes. Your site lives in its own code repository. If you cancel, we transfer the site and its hosting to you.
