Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about vacation rental calendar widgets

A vacation rental calendar widget is an embeddable calendar that displays your property's availability on your website. It automatically syncs with your booking platforms like Airbnb, VRBO, and Booking.com to show real-time availability to potential guests. This helps you get more direct bookings without paying commission fees.

Our calendar widget syncs using iCal feeds from your booking platforms. When you get a booking on Airbnb, VRBO, or Booking.com, availability updates automatically through iCal. Update timing can vary by platform cache behavior.

RentalBeam includes a Free plan with 1 calendar and 1 iCal source. You can upgrade to Plus or Pro for 3, 10, or 25 calendars and up to 10 iCal sources per calendar. The Pro 3-calendar plan includes a 14-day free trial.

Our calendar widget works with any platform that provides an iCal/ICS feed, including Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, and any other platform or calendar that exports iCal.

Setup takes less than 2 minutes. Get your iCal URL from your booking platform, paste it into RentalBeam, customize colors if desired, and copy the embed code to your website. Works on WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, and any site that supports HTML.

Yes. Our calendar widget works on WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, and any website builder that allows HTML/script embeds. It uses a simple embed snippet and iframe option, so it works anywhere custom HTML is supported.

Paid PMS platforms often cost $50-$500 per month and are designed to run your full operation. RentalBeam is focused on availability display and direct booking workflows: start on the Free plan and upgrade to Plus or Pro when needed, while continuing to use Airbnb, VRBO, and other channels.

Yes. Our calendar widget only shows booked vs available dates. It never exposes guest names, contact information, or booking details. Your guest data remains private and secure. We only display the availability status, nothing more.

Yes. On Plus and Pro, your iCal export URL can include manual blocked date ranges. You can use it in iCal-compatible tools like Google Calendar and in OTA import workflows such as Airbnb, VRBO, and Booking.com where iCal import is supported.
