Websites for villas, beach houses and vacation rental managers: commission-free direct bookings, bilingual, with a fast-loading gallery and photography that justifies the nightly rate.
A luxury villa in Punta Mita or Conchas Chinas charges thousands of dollars a night and, often, only exists on Airbnb and VRBO, paying commission on every guest who already knew it. A website of its own is how the returning guest, the referred guest and the one searching on Google book direct — and how the villa looks like what it costs.
We have spent years photographing villas and beach houses in Punta Mita, Litibú, Sayulita, Conchas Chinas and southern Puerto Vallarta for owners, managers and developers — it is a central part of our architectural photography and vacation rental photography work. Web design for villas grows out of that experience: we know which image opens the booking, which question the guest asks before paying and what a site has to say for a family from Texas or a couple from Mexico City to trust sending a deposit.
We build sites for a single villa and for managers with twenty or forty properties. In both cases the goal is the same: turn the visit into a booking request with dates, in the guest’s language, without them having to look the villa up on another platform to feel safe.
What we check before proposing a villa or vacation rental site. Almost every site that comes to us fails on the gallery, the calendar or the English.
The oceanfront pool first, then the living room, bedrooms, kitchen and the view. Optimised to load on a phone without waiting.
Real availability, seasonal rates, minimum nights and a request with deposit. Synced with Airbnb and VRBO so dates are never double-booked.
Most luxury villa guests around the bay book from the United States and Canada. Copy written in English, not translated.
Distance to the airport, beach, restaurants, golf, surf, gated community security. It is what the guest looks up after the photos.
Staff, chef, concierge, capacity, cancellation and event policy. Fewer email questions, more bookings.
Real reviews, who manages the villa, WhatsApp contact and secure payment. What replaces the “protection” the guest feels on Airbnb.
We integrate a calendar synced with Airbnb, VRBO and Booking (iCal or channel manager) and a booking engine with card deposit, so the villa sells from its own site without blocking dates twice. We set up the Google Business listing for the villa or the manager and track every request. The guest who returns for a second stay no longer pays commission to anyone.
A luxury villa cannot be photographed with a phone or the neighbour’s drone. We produce professional architectural photography, dusk shots, aerial drone photography of the grounds and the beach and, when it fits, short video for social media. The site is designed on that material, with every image where it sells.
When it is a single villa, the site is a story: who designed it, what each space is like, what a day there looks like, what the staff includes and how to book. One well-built long page, or four or five pages, with its own name and domain, ranked for searches like “luxury villa in Punta Mita” or “beach house for rent in Sayulita”.
When you manage several properties, the site is a catalog with search by area, dates, bedrooms and budget, one page per villa with its gallery, calendar and rate, pages per area — Punta Mita, Conchas Chinas, Nuevo Vallarta, Sayulita — and a clear section on who you are and how you manage. And if you also offer management to owners, a landing page to attract new villas, which is usually the manager’s most profitable business.
Many villas around the bay are rented for weddings, yoga retreats and corporate groups, and almost none say so on their site. We build event sections with capacities, bedroom layouts, a gallery of real events, vendors and rules, ranked for “wedding villa in Puerto Vallarta” and “retreat venue in Riviera Nayarit”. A single week-long booking for twenty people justifies the whole site.
Custom design on the identity of the villa or the manager, an optimised gallery, integrated and tested calendar and booking engine, Spanish and English versions with hreflang, Schema.org structured data (LodgingBusiness, VacationRental, Offer), Google Business listing, Search Console, request and WhatsApp tracking, a spam-filtered form, map and directions, and domain, hosting and email in the owner’s or manager’s name. After launch, sustained ranking and campaigns are contracted separately in digital marketing for vacation rentals.
Between 4 and 7 weeks for one villa; 6 to 10 for a multi-property catalog. The photo shoot is scheduled at the start.
How many properties, in which areas, how your guests book today and which platforms you use. You leave with the site map and a fixed quote.
Villa shoot in daylight and at dusk, drone of the grounds and the beach, and short video if you want it. If you already have professional material, we use it.
Design on your identity, copy that sells the house and the area in two languages, synced calendar and tested booking engine.
Google Business, Search Console, request tracking and credentials handed over. Training to update rates and calendar.
A single-villa site does not cost the same as a thirty-property catalog with search and channel manager. We quote to measure after a 20-minute call, at a fixed price and in writing.
Yes, especially for high-rate villas. Your own site captures the returning guest, the referred guest and the one searching on Google, commission-free, and lets you show the villa as no platform allows: video, drone, the area, the staff. Airbnb and VRBO are kept as a showcase and the calendar is synced so dates are never double-booked.
With iCal in the simplest case, or with the channel manager you already use (Guesty, Hostaway, Lodgify, Smoobu and others). A booking on any platform blocks the date on the others and on your site.
Yes. We integrate deposit payment by card or bank transfer depending on volume and the booking platform we choose, with automatic confirmation and an email to the guest.
It depends on whether it is one villa or a catalog, on the languages and the integrations. We quote in writing after a short call. Villa photography does have published prices in the 2026 price list.
Yes. A catalog with search by area, dates and bedrooms, one page per villa, pages per area and a landing page to attract new owners. It is one of the projects we do most around the bay.
Yes, in Spanish and English with separate URLs, written copy and hreflang markup. For luxury villas around the bay most bookings are decided in English from the United States and Canada.
Between 4 and 7 weeks for one villa; 6 to 10 for a catalog with several properties. What moves the timeline most is photography and the number of properties to load.
