Websites for Vacation Rentals
in the Florida Keys

Every booking you take through Airbnb or VRBO costs you 15โ€“18% in platform fees. A direct booking website โ€” with your own calendar, your own policies, and your own brand โ€” lets you keep that money while building a loyal base of returning guests who book directly with you year after year.

Sound familiar?

โœ—You're losing 15โ€“18% of every booking to platform fees
โœ—Airbnb and VRBO control your listing, your ranking, and your guest relationship
โœ—Guests have no way to reach you directly or book again without going through the platform
โœ—Your rental doesn't have its own identity, photos, or story separate from your listing page
โœ—You're at risk every time a platform changes its algorithm or policies

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I still use Airbnb and VRBO alongside my direct booking site?

Absolutely. Many hosts use their website to build a direct booking channel while still listing on platforms โ€” the goal is to gradually shift bookings to direct over time.

How do I handle payments without Airbnb?

We integrate Stripe directly into your site for secure card payments. You get paid directly to your bank, minus only Stripe's small processing fee (~2.9%).

Will guests trust a direct booking site?

Yes, with the right trust signals โ€” SSL certificate, secure payment badge, clear refund policy, and genuine reviews prominently displayed. I design for this.
