Vacation Rental Website: 7 Things That Get Direct Bookings
What a vacation rental website needs for direct bookings: real room photos, nightly rates, house rules, directions, chat buttons and a nights calculator.
A free homestay website template for guesthouses, B&Bs, villas and small bungalows that want direct bookings instead of going through booking sites. It opens with a full-screen photo showing your starting price, rating and check-in time, then your rooms with guests, bed type, size, weeknight and weekend rates, each with a button that drops it into the booking form.
A 200+ photo album filters by rooms, spaces, breakfast and nearby, with a full-screen viewer.

With this template you can create a free website and publish it in about 5 minutes.
