Questions, answered
Everything hosts usually ask before getting started. Still curious? We're happy to help.
What exactly do you build?
A branded website with a built-in booking and payment flow for your short-term rental — your own place on the web where guests discover your property and book directly, with no platform in between.
How is this different from just using Airbnb or Vrbo?
Those platforms are great for discovery, but they charge 15–20% per booking and own the guest relationship. A direct-booking site lets repeat and referral guests book commission-free, while you keep their contact details and your brand.
Will I still be able to use Airbnb and Vrbo?
Absolutely — most hosts run both. We sync your calendars so your direct site and the listing platforms stay in step, which keeps you from getting double-booked.
How do payments work?
We connect a trusted payment provider (such as Stripe) so guests pay you directly. Funds go straight to your account — we never sit in the middle of your money.
How long does it take to launch?
Most sites go live in two to three weeks, depending on how quickly we receive your photos, property details, and feedback.
Do I own the website?
Yes — 100%. The site, your domain, the content, and your guest data are all yours. You're never locked in.
What does it cost?
A one-time build fee with optional ongoing care for updates and support — and no revenue share, ever. Visit our pricing page for the details.
