DirectStay · Complete direct-booking sites for vacation rentals

Own the guest relationship your OTA listings earned.

DirectStay builds a complete direct-booking site for your vacation rental: $0 build, $49/month, no commission, and no need to abandon Airbnb or VRBO.

Owners keep control of rates, bookings, payments, taxes, refunds, disputes, and launch decisions.

01 — Owner site

A direct site without the agency project or DIY setup.

DirectStay turns your property story, real photos, guest questions, calendar context, and inquiry path into one owner-approved site. We build it. You review it. Nothing goes public until the required approvals are complete.

Included basics

$0 build.

$49/month.

No commission.

No DirectStay booking fees.

Your DirectStay subdomain included.

Your own domain available later as an upgrade.

02 — Founder property

We built DirectStay for our own villa first.

Villa La Percha is the founders' villa. Before offering DirectStay to anyone else, we built its direct-booking site, guest answers, and inquiry path — the same way we would for your property.

Every detail an owner should expect is live there today: accurate stay facts, honest photography, local context, and a calm way for guests to ask about dates directly.

03 — How it starts

A first version, then your review.

01

Send one property

Start with a listing URL, website, or photos plus a few notes about what guests should understand.

02

We build the first version

DirectStay turns your property story, real photos, guest questions, calendar context, and inquiry path into one owner-approved site.

03

Review before launch

You review the site. Nothing goes public until the required approvals are complete.

A complete direct-booking site can be live in under a week once your property basics and approvals are ready.

Private first. Owner approved.

A preview is a draft, not a launch.

Our review team prepares the private review materials, but the owner remains the decision maker before guest content, inquiry paths, or booking options go live.

No Airbnb, VRBO, or other marketplace content is published unless the owner approves it and confirms DirectStay may use it.

No guest outreach.

No public or bookable launch without owner approval.

04 — Pricing

Start with one property. Keep the commitment clear.

No setup invoice. No commission math. No booking fee from DirectStay.

Owners keep control of rates, bookings, payments, taxes, refunds, disputes, and launch decisions.

$0 build.

$49/month.

Cancel anytime.

Keep 100% of every booking payment you collect.

Your own domain is available later as a small upgrade. The included default is a DirectStay subdomain.

05 — Common questions

What is changing?

DirectStay's owner offer is now $0 build, $49/month, and no commission.

Is the site public right away?

No. Draft review, content approval, photo rights, inquiry workflow, and launch gates come first. Nothing goes public or bookable without the required approval.

Is DirectStay a property manager?

No. Owners remain responsible for rates, bookings, payments, taxes, refunds, disputes, and guest support unless a future written addendum says otherwise.

Start carefully

One property is enough to see whether DirectStay fits.
