Hostaway direct booking website
Keep Hostaway. Get a website worthy of it.
Hostaway handles your calendar, channels and payments. VacayDirect builds the site guests see, and connects the two.
The short answer
VacayDirect builds a custom direct booking website that works with Hostaway. The site uses Hostaway's own booking widget or booking engine link, so rates and availability are always live and payments go straight to your Hostaway account. You keep Hostaway for operations; VacayDirect handles design, local content and search visibility.
What Hostaway is good at
Hostaway is known for channel management and a large marketplace of connected tools. It's most often used by growing property managers running multiple listings across several channels. None of that needs to change.
How the connection works
Hostaway includes a direct booking website builder and a booking engine you can link to or embed. We use that same booking flow inside a site designed around your properties. There's no second calendar to keep in step and no new payment account.
- Guests see live availability and real prices
- Checkout, payment and the rental agreement run through Hostaway
- Your Airbnb and Vrbo calendars stay in sync exactly as they do today
- If you change booking software later, we swap the widget and the site stays
Why not just use Hostaway's own website?
You can, and for some owners it's enough. Booking software companies are rightly focused on booking software. We're focused on the other half: a site that looks like your place rather than a template, and a growing library of local pages that gives Google and AI assistants a reason to send people to it.
Questions
What owners ask us
Is VacayDirect an official Hostaway partner?
No. We're independent. We connect using the public widgets and booking links that Hostaway provides to all of its customers.
Will my rates and availability be live?
Yes. They're rendered by Hostaway's widget, reading from your Hostaway account in real time.
Do I pay VacayDirect a booking commission?
No. VacayDirect is a flat $99 or $199 a month. Your Hostaway subscription and card processing are separate and unchanged.
