VacayDirect vs OwnerRez hosted websites
OwnerRez runs the back office. We'll take the shop window.
OwnerRez is some of the most capable booking software an independent owner can buy. Its website option is functional. We make the part guests see as good as the part they don't.
The short answer
OwnerRez is vacation rental management software known for deep channel integrations, accounting and automation. It offers Hosted Websites as a premium add-on. VacayDirect is a done-for-you website and content service that connects to OwnerRez through its booking widgets, so owners keep OwnerRez for operations and get a custom, content-rich site in front of it.
What OwnerRez does well
Power users love it for a reason: channel connections, owner statements, messaging automation and tight control over quotes and payments. Its Hosted Websites add-on puts a working direct booking site on your domain without another vendor.
What we add
Design and distribution. We build a custom site around your photography, embed OwnerRez's availability and booking widgets, then publish the local content that earns search traffic. OwnerRez keeps doing what it's best at.
Questions
What owners ask us
Does VacayDirect integrate with OwnerRez?
We connect through OwnerRez's own embeddable widgets for availability, quotes and booking, so your rates and calendar are always live and payments go through your OwnerRez account.
Do I still need the Hosted Websites add-on?
Usually not, since the VacayDirect site replaces it. Check with OwnerRez which add-ons their widgets require on your plan.
What does it cost?
VacayDirect is $99 a month. OwnerRez's Costs & Fees article puts the base subscription at $40 a month for the first property, with Hosted Websites as a premium feature at a further $15 a month for the first property (checked September 2026). If a VacayDirect site replaces the hosted one, you may not need that add-on.
