Hostfully direct booking website
Keep Hostfully. Get a website worthy of it.
Hostfully 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 Hostfully. The site uses Hostfully's own booking widget or booking engine link, so rates and availability are always live and payments go straight to your Hostfully account. You keep Hostfully for operations; VacayDirect handles design, local content and search visibility.
What Hostfully is good at
Hostfully is known for its property management platform and digital guidebooks. It's most often used by managers who care about the guest experience before and during the stay. None of that needs to change.
How the connection works
Hostfully provides direct booking sites and embeddable booking widgets. 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 Hostfully
- 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 Hostfully'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 Hostfully partner?
No. We're independent. We connect using the public widgets and booking links that Hostfully provides to all of its customers.
Will my rates and availability be live?
Yes. They're rendered by Hostfully's widget, reading from your Hostfully account in real time.
Do I pay VacayDirect a booking commission?
No. VacayDirect is a flat $99 or $199 a month. Your Hostfully subscription and card processing are separate and unchanged.
