The sweet spot between marketplace-only hosting and a heavyweight PMS

One calm setup
Start with a calendar. Add bookings when you are ready.

The flow gets split across tools
- Live availability lives in one place
- Guest requests land somewhere else
- Payments start later in another workflow

Questions hosts usually ask first
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 request payment 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.
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, seasonal pricing, fees, discounts, coupon codes, custom fields, booking rules, multi-currency display, and optional guest card payments.
Live availability is just the start.
Start free with live availability, then add booking requests and optional guest card payments from the same simple no-PMS setup when you are ready.
What RentalBeam helps vacation rental hosts do
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 request or pay for a stay directly on your site.
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 a calmer direct-booking flow.

Start with a live availability calendar
- Free plan available: one calendar, one iCal source, a multi-month view, and an embeddable availability widget.
- Any iCal source: Airbnb, Booking.com, VRBO, Google Calendar, and other feeds that export iCal or ICS.
- Automatic syncing: RentalBeam refreshes availability through iCal so your website does not rely on manual updates.
- Built for real websites: responsive layouts, 11 supported languages, and embed options for WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, and custom sites.
- More control on Plus: managed dates, custom colors, branding removal, and a combined export URL back out to other calendar tools.
Grow into direct bookings on the same foundation
- Booking form widget on Pro: add a direct booking form alongside your availability calendar so guests can contact you from your own website.
- Flexible payment path: stay inquiry-first, send a payment request later, or enable guest card payments when you want a faster checkout flow.
- Host controls: Pro supports pricing, seasonal overrides, fees, discounts, coupon codes, booking rules, custom guest fields, and guest-count settings.
- Sync visibility: track Healthy, Stale, or Error status per source and see export access activity from your dashboard.
Why hosts move past screenshots and manual updates
Platforms commonly charge 15-20% per booking. Direct bookings through your own website avoid those 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 $2,000 stay, a 15-20% OTA commission can mean $300-$400 lost to marketplace fees. One direct booking can cover a meaningful amount of calendar-software cost on its own.
Typical setup flow
- Copy your iCal URL: get the export link from Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, or another iCal-compatible source.
- Create your widget: paste the feed into RentalBeam and preview your availability calendar instantly.
- Embed it on your website: add the snippet to WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, or custom HTML.
- Add bookings when you are ready: on Pro, keep inquiry-first or turn on guest card payments from the same setup.
