Direct Booking Websites for Vacation Rentals
Keep More Revenue. Let Repeat Guests Book Direct.
I build direct booking websites for small resorts, vacation rentals, and Airbnb hosts. So you keep more revenue and own your guest relationships.
Sound Familiar?
Paying platform fees on guests who already know you
Airbnb, Booking.com, and VRBO charge up to 15.5% per booking. That makes sense for new guests who found you through the platform. But for returning guests? That’s your revenue, not theirs.
Relying on DMs and phone calls to book
Guests message you on Facebook or call to check availability. Without a booking system, reservations slip through the cracks.
Your website isn't converting visitors into guests
People visit your site but can’t book directly. So they go back to the platform, and you pay the commission anyway.
You don't need to leave these platforms. You just need a website where your repeat guests can book direct.

The Real Cost of Repeat Bookings
Your Repeat Guests Already Want to Book With You. Why Let the Platform Take a Cut?
Every time a returning guest books through Airbnb, Booking.com, or VRBO, someone’s paying platform fees. Either you, your guest, or both.
For guests who already know and trust you, that’s money neither of you should be losing.
Think about how many guests come back to your property each year.
Now multiply each booking by the 3-15% the platform takes every time.
That’s revenue you could be keeping, just by giving those guests a way to book with you directly.
A direct booking website lets your repeat guests skip the platform entirely. No middleman fees, a better experience for them, and you keep the full amount.
All it takes is a simple card at your property or a follow-up message: "Book direct next time and save."

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you add a booking system to my existing website?
Yes. If your current site is solid, I can integrate a booking system into it, just like I did for Seascape.
What platform do you build on?
WordPress. It’s flexible, easy to manage on your end, and you fully own your website. No platform lock-ins, no surprises.
How long does a project take?
2-8 weeks depending on scope. You’ll get a clear timeline before we start.
Do you work with businesses outside the Philippines?
Yes. Most of my ongoing clients are in the US and Australia.
Will I still need Airbnb after this?
Yes, and you should keep using it. Platforms are great for getting discovered by new guests. Your direct booking site is for the guests who already know you, so you stop paying commissions on repeat bookings.
How much does it cost?
Every project is different. After our conversation, I’ll send a clear quotation based on what you need.
