OwnerRez direct booking website
Keep OwnerRez. Get a website worthy of it.
OwnerRez 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 OwnerRez. The site uses OwnerRez's own booking widget or booking engine link, so rates and availability are always live and payments go straight to your OwnerRez account. You keep OwnerRez for operations; VacayDirect handles design, local content and search visibility.
What OwnerRez is good at
OwnerRez is known for deep channel integrations, accounting and messaging automation. It's most often used by hands-on independent owners and small managers who want control over every detail. None of that needs to change.
How the connection works
OwnerRez offers Hosted Websites as a premium add-on, plus embeddable widgets for availability, quotes and booking. 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 OwnerRez
- 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 OwnerRez'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 OwnerRez partner?
No. We're independent. We connect using the public widgets and booking links that OwnerRez provides to all of its customers.
Will my rates and availability be live?
Yes. They're rendered by OwnerRez's widget, reading from your OwnerRez account in real time.
Do I pay VacayDirect a booking commission?
No. VacayDirect is a flat $99 or $199 a month. Your OwnerRez subscription and card processing are separate and unchanged.
