What is a vacation rental calendar?
A vacation rental calendar is an availability calendar on your website that shows guests which dates are open and which are booked. RentalBeam keeps it current from the iCal feeds of Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and other booking sites. Free covers 1 rental with 1 booking site; Plus and Pro sync up to 10 booking sites per rental.
How to get your iCal URL:
- Airbnb:Open your Airbnb calendar and click Availability settings. Scroll to Sync calendars and click Export calendar. Copy the link (it ends in .ics).
- Vrbo:Open the listing in your Vrbo owner dashboard and select Calendar. In Settings, open the Availability tab. Under Calendar sync, choose Connect calendars, then Export calendar. Select Copy URL.
- Booking.com:Log in to the Booking.com extranet and open Calendar. Scroll to the Sync calendars box under the calendar. Click Export calendar, then Copy link.

Your calendar, on your own website
Paste your iCal link above to fill in your dates, or create a free account and set it up from your dashboard.
Website availability
Let guests check your dates before they write to you. Everything they need sits on your own site, with no trip back to Airbnb or Vrbo.
Keep more direct-booking revenue
A stay booked on your own website carries no booking-site commission, and RentalBeam takes none either.
Dates only, never guest names
Feeds from RentalBeam show blocked dates only unless you choose otherwise.
Works with your website builder
Copy the website code and paste it into Wix, Squarespace, WordPress, Webflow, and any builder that accepts HTML or scripts.
Booking sites
One calendar that keeps itself current. On Plus and Pro, Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo merge into one calendar, so a night sells once.

Your own look
Make the calendar look like it belongs on your site. On Plus and Pro, start from a preset, then set the colors, the font and the background.

Several rentals
Show several rentals together in one widget. Group rentals into a collection: one combined calendar, a timeline side by side, or a tab each.

Plans
Free for one rental. Not a trial. Upgrade when you want more booking sites, your own look or the booking form.

Frequently asked questions.
What is an availability calendar for a vacation rental?
An availability calendar for a vacation rental is an embeddable tool that shows guests which dates are open or booked, syncs reservations across Airbnb, Booking.com, and Vrbo through iCal to prevent double bookings, and, with a booking form beside it, lets you take direct bookings from your own website. RentalBeam builds one from your existing iCal feeds in minutes, embeds on Wix, Squarespace, WordPress, Webflow, and any builder that accepts HTML or scripts, is free to start, and charges no commission on the direct bookings it brings you.
What is a vacation rental calendar widget?
A vacation rental calendar widget is an embeddable calendar that displays your property's availability on your website. It syncs with your booking platforms like Airbnb, Booking.com, and Vrbo on its own, so guests see your current availability without leaving your site.
What is a vacation rental booking calendar?
A vacation rental booking calendar is an availability calendar guests can book from: it shows which dates are open, and lets a guest pick those dates and send a request without leaving your website. RentalBeam keeps the two halves apart so you pay only for the one you need. The availability calendar is free on every plan; add the booking form widget on Pro beside it and guests pick dates against the same synced availability, then send a request or pay by card where you turn that on.
How does the calendar sync work?
Our calendar widget syncs using iCal feeds from your booking platforms. When you get a booking on Airbnb, Booking.com, or Vrbo, availability updates automatically through iCal. Exact timing can vary with each platform's own iCal cache, but RentalBeam refreshes your imported availability at most every 15 minutes.
Can guests book directly from the vacation rental calendar?
The availability calendar shows guests which dates are open, on every plan including Free. To let them book those dates, add the booking form widget on Pro beside it: guests pick dates against the same availability and send a request, or pay by card if you turn that on. Both read your one synced calendar, so a stay booked on Airbnb or Vrbo closes the dates in both after the next sync.
Is RentalBeam really free?
RentalBeam includes a Free plan with 1 rental and 1 iCal source. If you need more rentals, more booking sites, your own look, an export link or direct bookings, Plus and Pro are available with monthly or annual billing. Plus and Pro come for 1 or 3 rentals, or any number from 5 to 50 rentals, priced per rental. Plus is always available for hosts who only need the calendar, while Pro adds the booking form and guest payments. The 1-rental tier of Plus and the 1-rental tier of Pro come with a 7-day free trial when you upgrade from Free.
Which platforms does it work with?
Our calendar widget works with any platform that provides an iCal/ICS feed, including Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo, and any other platform or calendar that exports iCal.
How long does setup take?
Setup takes about 2 minutes. Get your iCal URL from your booking platform, paste it into RentalBeam, choose your colors if you like, and paste the website code into your site. Works on Wix, Squarespace, WordPress, Webflow, and any builder that accepts HTML or scripts.
Will it work on my website platform?
Yes. Our calendar widget works on Wix, Squarespace, WordPress, Webflow, and any builder that accepts HTML or scripts. It uses a simple embed snippet and iframe option, so it works anywhere custom HTML is supported.
How is this different from paid PMS solutions?
Paid PMS platforms 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.
Is my guest data secure?
Yes. Our calendar widget only shows booked vs available dates. It never exposes guest names, contact information, or booking details. We only display the availability status, nothing more.
Can I sync multiple rentals?
Yes. The free plan includes 1 rental. Upgrade to Plus or Pro for more, with monthly or annual billing: Plus and Pro come for 1 or 3 rentals, or any number from 5 to 50 rentals, priced per rental. Paid plans can aggregate up to 10 iCal sources per rental.
Can I block specific dates manually?
Yes. In addition to automatic syncing, you can manually block specific dates or date ranges in your RentalBeam dashboard (Plus and Pro plans). Add color-coded labels like "Owner Stay" or "Maintenance" to blocked periods.
Can I use those manual blocked ranges in Google Calendar too?
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 booking sites that import a calendar, such as Airbnb, Booking.com, and Vrbo where iCal import is supported.
How do I combine Airbnb, Booking.com, and Vrbo calendars into one calendar on my website?
Add each platform's iCal URL to one RentalBeam rental and the widget shows a single merged availability calendar on your own website. A date is shown as open only when every connected source is free, unless you open a day another site has blocked. A guest's stay on another site can never be opened, which is what stops double bookings. Plus and Pro aggregate up to 10 iCal sources per rental. Guests see one clear availability view and can be sent to your own booking form or checkout, so you keep the direct booking without OTA commission.
What is the best way to manage availability for multiple vacation rentals in one place?
Give each rental its own iCal feeds in RentalBeam, then group several rentals into a Collection to show them together in one embeddable calendar: a combined view that is open when any member is free, a timeline of all rentals, or per-rental tabs. Plus and Pro come for 1 or 3 rentals, or any number from 5 to 50 rentals, priced per rental, and one rental can belong to more than one Collection.
Is there a free availability calendar for a vacation rental website?
Yes. RentalBeam's Free plan includes one availability calendar with one iCal source, embeddable on Wix, Squarespace, WordPress, Webflow, and any builder that accepts HTML or scripts, with no card required to start. Upgrade to Plus or Pro when you need more rentals, aggregated sources, custom styling, export URLs, or direct bookings.
Add the rest when you are ready. Each part works from the same calendar.
