Direct-booking sites for vacation rentalsOwn the bookings.
Own the bookings.
On your terms.
A direct-booking website for your vacation rental, so guests book with you, not through Airbnb or Vrbo.
Skip the platform fees and the rules that aren't yours, whether you own one rental or several.
No need to quit Airbnb overnight. Grow direct bookings at your own pace.
The problem
You built the getaway experience. The platforms built the rules.
These are your homes. You should decide how guests treat them, what they pay, and how they check out.
Rising Airbnb fees
Service fees keep climbing on both sides of every booking — and they come off the top of what your rental earns.
New checkout requirements
Airbnb keeps changing what you can ask guests to do at checkout. You know what your home needs to stay in great shape, and your guests should follow your rules, not a platform's.
No control over your guests
The platform decides who stays, how you communicate, and what your listing looks like. It's not really your business.
How it works
From your photos to direct bookings.
Four steps. We handle the build and the setup — you keep ownership of your guests.
- 1
Send us your photos and details
Share what makes your rentals yours — photos, amenities, house rules, the little things guests love. We take it from there.
- 2
We build your site
We build your booking site from a proven template and help set up your domain and email. No tech skills needed on your end.
- 3
Guests find you on Google and popular booking sites
Your site is set up to show up on Google and AI search, and you can keep listing on popular booking sites while guests book direct with you.
- 4
Own your bookings
Keep Airbnb running while direct bookings grow, then exit gradually — or all at once, whenever you're ready.
Sample designs
Pick your style
Every rental is different. Choose the look that fits yours, and we'll build your site with your photos and details.
Modern
Clean lines, white space and bold photos for modern homes and lake houses.
Coastal
Soft sand, seafoam and ocean blues for beach houses and cottages.
Sample designs for illustration. Your site uses your own photos and property name.

The Own The Bookings Checklist
Every step to take your bookings direct, on your terms, in one page.
What's inside
- Protect yourself: insurance, rental agreement, damage hold
- Save your reviews before you go
- Set up direct booking: calendar, booking platform, payments, domain
- Get found on Google and social
- Pick your exit timeline: gradual or all at once
The safety net
Keep your listings running while direct bookings grow.
You don't have to choose. Most owners keep their Airbnb listing live while their direct-booking site fills more and more of the calendar. As direct bookings grow, you lean on the platform less — and exit on your own schedule, not theirs.
And you're not left unprotected without it. We help you put proper rental agreements and the right short-term-rental insurance in place, so your rental — and your income — are covered whether a guest books through Airbnb or straight through you.
Protected, with or without Airbnb
- Keep Airbnb live while your direct site fills the calendar
- Rental agreements tailored to your rental and your rules
- Short-term-rental insurance guidance so you're properly covered
- Exit the platform gradually, or all at once — your call

FAQ
Questions owners ask.
Do I have to leave Airbnb right away?
No. Most owners keep Airbnb running while their direct bookings fill more of the calendar. You exit the platform gradually — or all at once — only when you're ready.
What about insurance?
When you leave Airbnb, you also leave its host protection, so you'll want your own coverage and a solid rental agreement. We don't sell insurance or give legal advice, but our free Own The Bookings Checklist walks you through what to look for and what to ask your insurance agent.Get the free checklist
I live out of state, can this work?
Yes. Everything is done remotely — the build, domain and email setup, and ongoing care. You don't need to be local to own and run your direct-booking sites.
Do I own my site?
Yes. Your domains, your guests, your booking calendars. Nothing runs through us once they're live; you own them outright.
