Calendar, map and booking widgets
A calendar, a timeline, a map and a booking form, all syncing from Airbnb, VRBO and Booking.com. Paste one line into the website you already have. No commission, no PMS.
Setup in ~2 minutes
Paste a feed, preview it, publish it.
Works alongside booking platforms
Keep Airbnb, VRBO, and Booking.com in the loop.
Free plan to start
Launch one live calendar before upgrading.
Optional guest card payments
Pro can stay inquiry-first or take payment immediately.
Multiple rentals
Put your rooms, cabins, boats, or vehicles into a collection - one embeddable widget. Guests see a combined availability view or a timeline with a per-day count of open rentals, then open any single rental for its full calendar. Airbnb's iCal feed can lag around 3 hours and Booking.com's up to 24, which is how double-bookings slip in - RentalBeam keeps one combined calendar refreshing on its own. Available on plans with multiple rentals.
Location map
A designed map of your rental, embedded on your own site: five themes, your brand color on the pin, and the nearby spots you want guests to see. Not ready to publish the exact address? Approximate-area mode shows the surrounding area instead. Included on Plus and Pro.
A live map of an apartment in Trastevere, Rome. Tap a marker to read the host's note.
Five map styles, one setting per rental. Tap any style to switch a live map between all five.
Booking form
This is the real form your guests use - they pick dates, see your pricing, and send a request or pay, all without ever leaving your website. No redirect to a third-party checkout, no commission skimmed off the top.
Search bar
Drop an Airbnb-style date search onto your homepage or footer. Guests pick their dates and step straight into your booking form.
Paste your feeds, copy the widget into your site, and choose how guests book from your own website.
Copy your Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, or other iCal links into RentalBeam.
RentalBeam gives you the embed code. Add it to your site without building a custom booking system.
Stay inquiry-first, approve first and send payment later, or, on Pro, let guests pay in the widget from the same simple setup.
Behind the widget
The widgets are what your guests see. Behind them, RentalBeam runs the unglamorous parts of direct bookings - platform sync, approvals, payments, and guest email - so you don't build them yourself.
Sync engine
Connect the iCal feeds you already have. RentalBeam refreshes them around the clock, merges them into one source of truth, and exports a combined feed back to any platform that accepts one.
Booking requests
Guests request dates on your website; you approve or decline in a click. Booking rules - minimum stays, guest limits, custom form fields - filter out the requests you would have declined anyway.
Payments
On Pro, take card payments right in the widget through Stripe, send a secure pay-later link after approving a stay, or settle off-platform. RentalBeam adds no commission and no booking fee, ever.
Guest email
Confirmations and updates go out to guests automatically. When a guest replies, the reply lands in your own inbox - answer it like any other email and it reaches the guest directly.
Customization
Colors for every date state, fonts, backgrounds, light or dark - tune the widget until it reads as part of your website, not someone else's tool. Plus and Pro can remove RentalBeam branding entirely.
Full feature set
The calendar, the map and the booking form all read from the same rentals you set up once. Here is the whole list.
Availability calendar
Availability stays current on its own, across every channel you use.
Style it, control it, and scale it to match your brand and portfolio.
Free to start, private by default, and ready for every visitor.
Location map
A map that matches your site instead of looking borrowed from one.
Exact pin or approximate area, on any site, in any language.
Booking form
Stay inquiry-first or accept direct - on your terms, with the details you need.
Quote, discount, and collect - no commission, no RentalBeam booking fee.
A widget that looks like yours and keeps you in the loop.
Start free
Paste any iCal URL, preview the widget instantly, then copy the embed into your site. No custom code project, no PMS migration.

Up to 25 rentals with the full appearance studio, managed dates, and a combined two-way iCal export.

Independent-host friendly
RentalBeam is for hosts who want their website to feel more professional without rebuilding their whole operation. Start with live availability, keep your booking-platform workflow intact, and grow into direct bookings on the same foundation.
Your website should not send guests back to another marketplace just to check dates or start a booking.
Works with Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, and other iCal-friendly setups
One embed snippet instead of stitched-together tools
Direct bookings and guest payments only when you want them
Multilingual
The calendar and booking widget display in 24 languages, auto-detected from each visitor's browser - so guests book in the language they are most comfortable with.
Short answers before you try it
No. RentalBeam works alongside them. You keep your Airbnb and VRBO listings, and RentalBeam syncs from those platforms to show live availability on your own website. It helps you add a direct-booking channel without replacing the OTA workflow you already use.
For most hosts, setup takes about 2 minutes. You copy an iCal export URL from Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, or another source, paste it into RentalBeam, preview the widget, and embed it on your website.
No. RentalBeam is built for non-technical hosts. You paste in your iCal feed, then copy the embed snippet into any website builder or site that accepts HTML, such as WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, or custom websites.
Yes. The availability calendar widget is free forever on the Free plan. You get 1 calendar, 1 iCal source, a multi-month view, and an embed code. No credit card required.
Yes, with the Pro plan. The booking widget embeds a reservation request form directly on your website. Guests can stay inquiry-first, you can approve the stay and send a secure payment link later, or you can turn on guest card payments when you want guests to pay online.
You copy the calendar export URL from Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, or any platform that supports iCal, paste it into RentalBeam, and the widget automatically fetches blocked dates to show live availability. On Plus and Pro, you can also export one combined iCal feed back out to Google Calendar or OTA calendar imports where supported.
Yes. RentalBeam imports availability from your OTA calendars, and on Plus and Pro you can publish one combined export URL that includes selected sources, blocked dates, and booking data for Google Calendar and OTA calendar imports where iCal import is supported.
Yes. On Plus and Pro, you can manually close specific dates or full date ranges, such as owner stays or maintenance windows, with custom labels and colors. You can include those ranges in a RentalBeam iCal export URL for Google Calendar and OTA calendar imports where iCal import is supported.
Yes. The widget is built to look native to your website, not like a third-party embed. Every calendar supports light, dark, and auto themes, responsive layouts, and 12 display languages. On Plus and Pro you can set custom colors for available, booked, and closed dates, pick a custom widget background, label and color your managed date ranges, and remove RentalBeam branding. On Pro, the booking form and guest emails carry your brand accent color so the whole booking flow matches your site.
Yes, for any day-based rental. Each rental - a home, room, boat, vehicle, or trailer - gets its own availability calendar you can embed, and on Pro a booking form with per-day pricing and the custom fields your checkout needs, including file uploads for a photo ID or license. Hourly time slots are not supported.
Yes. Collections group several rentals - rooms, boats, vehicles, trailers - into one embeddable widget. Visitors see a combined view, a timeline with one row per rental and per-day open counts, or tabs to each rental's full calendar. On Pro, a collection booking widget can let guests pick their dates first and then choose from the rentals free for those dates, each shown with its photo and its real price. Collections are available on plans with multiple rentals.
Yes, on Pro. Add a file upload field to the booking form and guests can attach up to 3 images or PDFs (10 MB each) with their request - a photo ID, driver's license, or signed document. Files are stored privately and you view them from the booking in your dashboard.
The embed code works on any platform that accepts HTML, including WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, and custom-built sites. You paste one snippet and the widget appears.
Plus adds custom colors, date blocking, source aggregation up to 10 iCal feeds per calendar, iCal export, sync visibility tools, Google Calendar quick-add, and branding removal. Pro includes everything in Plus, plus the booking form widget with optional pricing display, seasonal pricing, fees, discounts, coupon codes, custom fields, booking rules, multi-currency display, payment links, split payment steps, invoice PDFs with customizable details, and optional guest card payments. Pro takes no commission and no RentalBeam booking fee on your direct bookings - when a guest pays by card, only the standard Stripe card-processing fee applies, paid to Stripe rather than RentalBeam.
Yes. The map widget puts a designed map of your rental on your own website, and you choose the precision. An exact pin gives guests one-tap directions; approximate-area mode shows the surrounding area instead, and the exact coordinates never reach the page. You can pick one of five map themes, match the pin to your brand color, add your own nearby highlights, and show several rentals on one clustered map. Embedding the map on your own site is included on Plus and Pro, and every plan can build and preview it in the dashboard.
RentalBeam helps hosts show live availability on their own website with automatic iCal sync from Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, and other iCal sources. The availability calendar is available on the Free plan, while Plus and Pro add more control over sources, managed dates, exports, and sync visibility. On Pro, you can also add a booking form widget so guests can send an inquiry, wait for approval and a secure payment link, or pay for a stay directly on your site with Stripe-powered card and wallet options where available. Compare plans when you are ready to move beyond the free calendar.
Everything RentalBeam ships is a widget for the website you already have: a live availability calendar, a timeline that shows several rentals at once, a location map, and a booking form with an optional compact search bar. They read the same synced availability, share the same one-line embed, speak the same 24 languages, and go on WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, or hand-written HTML - so adding one never means moving your site or your listings anywhere.
RentalBeam is built to work alongside your OTA listings - not replace them. It is not a full PMS, not a channel manager, and not a website builder. It is the bridge between a simple website calendar and taking direct bookings on your own site.

Most embedded calendars look like exactly what they are: someone else's tool dropped into your page. RentalBeam's widget is designed to read as part of your own website. Every calendar ships with light, dark, and auto themes, responsive layouts, and 24 display languages. On Plus and Pro you can match the widget to your site precisely: custom colors for available, booked, and closed dates, a custom widget background, your own labels and colors for managed date ranges, and full branding removal. On Pro, the booking form and your guest emails pick up your brand accent color, so the experience stays yours from the first availability check to the booking confirmation in the guest's inbox.
Most guests decide on location before they decide on dates. The map widget puts a designed map of your rental on your own website instead of sending visitors off to a search engine to work out where you are. You pick one of five map themes, the pin takes your brand color, and the surroundings stay curated, with competing listings kept off your own map. Every plan can build a map and preview it in the dashboard; embedding it on your website is included on Plus and Pro.
RentalBeam Pro takes no commission and adds no RentalBeam booking fee on your direct bookings - your booking revenue is 100% yours. Pro unlocks the same booking form widget, guest payment workflow, coupon codes, seasonal pricing, custom fields, booking rules, host email tools, and reply-from-inbox guest messaging. When a guest pays by card through RentalBeam, the only deduction is the standard Stripe card-processing fee, paid to Stripe rather than RentalBeam. Inquiry-only, pay-later, and off-platform bookings (such as bank transfer) carry no per-transaction cost at all.
Pro hosts can also run coupon codes, percentage and fixed-amount discount rules, and seasonal pricing tiers from the same booking form setup, alongside custom guest fields, configurable booking fees, guest-count controls, booking rules (booking window, advance notice, prep time, min/max stay), multi-currency pricing, payment links, and invoice PDFs.
RentalBeam's primary home is vacation rentals, but the same calendar-and-booking-form setup fits any day-based rental business: car rentals, boat rentals, RV and campervan rentals, trailer and equipment rentals, and event venues that host one event per day. On Pro, custom form fields cover what those checkouts actually need - license numbers, pickup details, and file uploads so renters can attach a photo ID or document (up to 3 files per field, 10 MB each), stored privately and viewable from the booking in your dashboard.
Hosts with several rentals can use collectionsto show them together - rooms, boats, vehicles, trailers - in one embeddable widget: visitors see a combined view or a timeline with a per-day count of open rentals, can open any single rental's full calendar, and on Pro book through a collection booking widget. The most guest-friendly option lets visitors pick their dates first and then choose from the rentals free for those dates, each shown with the photo you set for that rental and its real price for those dates. Each rental keeps its own pricing, sources, and bookings.
OTA marketplaces can take a meaningful share of each booking. Direct bookings through your own website avoid those OTA commission fees, which can materially improve margins over time. For many hosts, the first win is simply having a website calendar that stays current. The next win is turning that same website into a booking channel.
On a high-value stay, avoiding OTA commission can cover a meaningful amount of calendar-software cost on its own.
Free to start, no card required. Paste an iCal link and be live on your own website in about two minutes.
