How to add an availability calendar to your Wix vacation rental website
Wix can publish a clean, guest-facing availability calendar without a full PMS or a custom app build. The most dependable path is to use the RentalBeam iframe embed inside a Wix Embed Code element, then position it next to your booking CTA.
Why add a calendar to your Wix site?
Guests want to know whether your property is available before they click through to a form or send a message. A visible availability calendar shortens that decision path, reduces repetitive date questions, and supports a cleaner direct-booking flow on your own site.
- Show booked and open dates directly on your website
- Keep using Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, or any other iCal-compatible source
- Reduce back-and-forth date questions from guests
- Prepare the page for a future direct-booking widget beside the calendar
What you need
- A Wix page in the Editor
- Your RentalBeam calendar widget
- At least one connected OTA or iCal availability source
Keep setup simple first
Start with one property page, confirm the calendar is visible and accurate, then roll the same pattern across the rest of your site.Setup steps
- 1
Create your RentalBeam calendar
- Open your RentalBeam dashboard and create a calendar.
- Paste your Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, or other iCal source URLs.
- Check the preview so blocked dates already look correct before you embed anything.
Works with any iCal source
RentalBeam supports any iCal/ICS URL, not just Airbnb. You can merge multiple availability sources into one guest-facing calendar view. - 2
Copy the right embed code for Wix
RentalBeam recommends the iframe embed for Wix. Use the matching code format below as your reference.
html<iframe src="https://rentalbeam.com/embed/your-calendar-id?months-per-row=3&rows=1&month-scale=1" width="100%" height="446" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" style="border: none; border-radius: 8px; display: block;"></iframe>Wix is more reliable with iframe-style embeds inside its native embed element than with arbitrary third-party JavaScript snippets.
Wix publishing reminders
- Use Wix's dedicated Embed Code element - not a text box - so the iframe remains intact.
- Resize the embed box until the full widget height is visible before you publish; otherwise the calendar can look cut off.
- Check the published page in a normal browser tab after saving because Wix editor preview can differ from the final live output.

Publish and verify the guest experience
Where to place the calendar on the page
- Use a full-width or wide content section so month cards have room to breathe.
- Keep the calendar above testimonials or long descriptive sections.
- Re-check padding after resizing the Wix embed container on tablet and mobile breakpoints.
Think of the calendar as a conversion aid
Competitor guides consistently put availability close to the main inquiry or direct-booking action. That pattern reduces friction because guests can check dates and act in the same visual area.
