Vacation rental websites that win more direct bookings.
Every booking that comes through a listing platform costs you a channel fee and hands the guest relationship to someone else. OWNIT builds a direct booking website and guest messaging system you own, so repeat stays come straight to you.
What slows vacation rental owners and short-term rental managers down, and how we fix it.
Built for Vacation Rentals
Everything vacation rental owners and short-term rental managers need, owned by you.
What changes once it's yours.
Questions vacation rental owners and short-term rental managers ask us.
Will a direct booking site cause double bookings with Airbnb or Vrbo?
We sync calendars both ways, so dates booked on your site block out on the platforms and the reverse. Standard calendar sync can lag by a short window, so for busy properties we can connect through a channel manager instead.
How do I get guests to book direct instead of through the platforms?
Past guests are usually the easiest place to start. The CRM stores details from guests who opted in, then sends a return-stay offer by email or WhatsApp before your peak season.
Can the system tell my cleaners when a guest checks out?
Yes, each checkout triggers a message to your cleaning team with the property, time window and any notes, like extra linens or a pet stay. They can confirm the turnover is done, and you see it on your dashboard.
