The problem

Airbnb’s fees add up to 14-18% of every booking.Your guests don’t even like booking through Airbnb.

Most hosts hand over thousands every year in OTA fees. Meanwhile guests would rather book direct, they just need somewhere to do it. A direct booking site fixes both problems. We build yours.

Combined host and guest fees on Airbnb typically run 14-18% per booking.

We build your site

We design and launch your site in 7 days, with your calendars kept in sync.

Bookings come direct

Guests book through your site. Payments go straight to you. No fees.

Booking system

Real bookings.Not a contact form.

Some “direct booking” sites are basically brochures with an inquiry form. Yours takes real reservations, with calendars synced across every platform you list on.

You choose how guests book

Let guests book instantly, request dates for you to approve first, or send an inquiry before they commit. You decide. Then set your minimum stays, seasonal pricing, cleaning fees, and taxes.

One calendar, always in sync

Your site shows real availability, kept in sync with your Airbnb, VRBO, and Booking.com calendars. Book anywhere and the rest update automatically. No double bookings, no manual work.

Get paid directly

Guests book and pay in one step, and the money goes straight to your bank account. No platform holding your payout for weeks, and no commission taken out of every booking.

Testimonials

Voices behind our first builds

We’re a new studio. These are the owners we’ve built for so far.

We wanted a website that felt personal and truly showed what makes our Kauai condo special. Cole built us a beautiful direct booking website that’s easy for guests to use and much more professional than our old setup. He also helped us improve our content with better photos, videos, local recommendations, and guides like the top things to do in Kauai. The site feels more welcoming, informative, and helps guests feel excited before they even arrive.

Kim and Paul

Kauai condo owners

Cole did an amazing job rebuilding our vacation rental website. The new site looks significantly better than our old Wix website and feels much more modern and professional. The booking system is smooth and easy for guests to use, and the overall experience is much cleaner on both desktop and mobile. We’ve been very happy with the results and feedback from guests.

Questions

Common questions from hosts

Do I own my site?
You own your domain, which we buy and register in your name, along with your photos and content and your guest data. The website itself is a subscription product, like Squarespace or Lodgify, so it stays with us and goes offline if you cancel. We'll export everything that's yours so you can take it elsewhere, and the domain stays with you.
How does the calendar sync work?
Your Airbnb, VRBO, and Booking.com calendars stay in sync in both directions, so a booking on any of them blocks the dates on your site too. No double bookings.
Who handles guest payments?
Guests pay securely by card and the money goes straight into your bank account. We never touch your money.
What if I cancel?
Cancel anytime, no fees. We'll export your photos, content, and guest list so you can take them anywhere. The site itself goes offline at the end of your billing period since it's part of the subscription.
How long does it take?
7 days from the day you send us your photos and details.
Can I update my site later?
Yes. Email us anytime. Content updates are included in your plan.
