A site of your own for your vacation rental apartments and homes: commission-free direct bookings, calendar synced with Airbnb and Booking, bilingual and built on professional photography.
Airbnb lends you guests; a website gives them back to you. Every guest who already stayed with you, every referral and every person searching “vacation rental apartment in Puerto Vallarta” on Google can book direct — without paying 14 to 20 % commission — if you have somewhere to receive them.
We have produced Airbnb photography in Puerto Vallarta, Nuevo Vallarta, Bucerías, Guadalajara and Zapopan for years, and the conversation with hosts always ends the same way: “the photos already work on Airbnb, so how do I stop paying commission?”. The answer is a site of your own, done well, with a synced calendar and direct booking, that works alongside Airbnb rather than against it.
We design websites for hosts with one apartment and for managers with twenty or forty units in the Romantic Zone, Marina Vallarta, Versalles, Nuevo Vallarta or Providencia in Guadalajara. The site does not replace Airbnb: it captures the guest Airbnb should not charge you for twice, and it does so in Spanish and English, which is how the bay books. To rank the site after launch, there is our digital marketing for vacation rentals service.
What we check before proposing a vacation rental site. Most hosts have no site; those who do usually fail on the calendar and on trust.
Availability and rates identical to Airbnb, VRBO and Booking, via iCal or channel manager. Never a date sold twice.
Request with dates, number of guests and card deposit. Automatic confirmation and an email to the guest.
Each apartment or house with its gallery, capacity, amenities, location and starting price. It is what Google indexes.
Guests around the bay book in both languages. Two real versions with their own URLs, not an automatic translator.
Imported real reviews, who you are, how the key is handed over, cancellation policy and secure payment.
Distance to the beach, the Malecón, the airport; parking; what is within walking distance. What the guest asks by message again and again.
We integrate the calendar from all your platforms and a booking engine with deposit payment. Every repeat guest who books on your site instead of Airbnb saves you the full commission, and a vacation rental site usually pays for itself with the first two or three direct high-season bookings. We track every request and every WhatsApp click from day one.
On Airbnb the first photo decides the click; on your site, the full gallery decides the booking. We produce the Airbnb photography for each unit — delivered in 3 to 5 days so you do not lose the season — and design the site on that material: the best image of each space in the order the guest decides.
If you have one or two units, the site is simple and direct: one page per unit, the area, how to book and who you are. With its own domain and Google Business listing it ranks for searches like “vacation rental apartment in the Romantic Zone” or “house for rent by the night in Bucerías”.
If you manage several units, the site is a catalog: search by area, dates, bedrooms and budget; one page per unit; pages per area — Romantic Zone, Marina Vallarta, Versalles, Nuevo Vallarta, Bucerías, Guadalajara —; a section for owners looking for someone to manage their apartment, and centralised reviews. The site connects to your channel manager so rates and availability are managed in one place.
It is not all beach. In Guadalajara, Zapopan, Tlaquepaque, Querétaro and León, vacation rentals live on business travellers, visiting families and events — concerts, Expo, conferences, the Grand Prix — and they search differently: “furnished apartment by the week near Expo Guadalajara”, “Airbnb in Providencia with parking”. We design the site and its area pages for those searches, with the same technical base and photography as on the coast.
Custom design, an optimised gallery, synced calendar and deposit booking engine tested, Spanish and English versions with hreflang, Schema.org structured data (VacationRental, LodgingBusiness, Offer), Google Business listing, Search Console, request and WhatsApp tracking in Analytics 4, a spam-filtered form, map and directions, a downloadable guest guide if you want one, and domain, hosting and email in your name with credentials handed over at launch.
Between 3 and 6 weeks depending on the number of units. The photo shoot is scheduled at the start and delivered in 3 to 5 days.
How many units, in which areas, on which platforms they rent and how you manage the calendar today. You leave with the site map and a fixed quote.
A shoot per unit, ready for Airbnb, Booking and the site. If you already have professional photography, we review and use it.
Design on your identity, copy in Spanish and English, synced calendar and deposit booking engine tested on mobile.
Google Business, Search Console, request tracking and credentials handed over. Training for rates, calendar and new units.
A one-apartment site and a thirty-unit manager catalog are different projects. We quote to measure after a 20-minute call, at a fixed price and in writing.
If you have repeat guests, referrals or more than one unit, yes. The site captures those bookings commission-free and gives you what Airbnb does not: your brand, your guest list and a Google listing. Airbnb is kept as a showcase and the calendar stays synced.
With iCal in the simplest case, or with the channel manager you already use (Hostaway, Guesty, Lodgify, Smoobu, Hospitable and others). A booking on any channel blocks the date on all of them.
Yes. Deposit payment by card or bank transfer depending on volume, with automatic confirmation. You decide the percentage and the cancellation policy.
It depends on the number of units, the languages and the integrations. We quote in writing after a short call. Airbnb photography does have published prices in the 2026 price list.
Between 3 and 6 weeks depending on the number of units. Photography is delivered in 3 to 5 days so you do not lose the season.
Yes, in Spanish and English with separate URLs, written copy and hreflang. Around the bay guests book in both languages; in Guadalajara and the Bajío, mostly in Spanish.
Yes. A catalog with search, one page per unit, pages per area, a section for owners and a connection to the channel manager. It is the most frequent project we get asked for in vacation rentals.
Yes. The web side is handled remotely; the photo shoot we cover in Puerto Vallarta, Riviera Nayarit, Guadalajara, Zapopan, Tlaquepaque, Querétaro, León and the rest of the Bajío, and in other cities with travel costs.
