Free vacation rental availability calendar widget

No. RentalBeam Pro takes zero commission and adds no RentalBeam booking fee - your direct booking revenue is 100% yours. The booking form widget, guest payment workflow, coupon codes, seasonal pricing, custom fields, and booking rules are all included. The only cost when a guest pays by card through RentalBeam is the standard Stripe card-processing fee, which is paid to Stripe, not RentalBeam. Inquiry-only and pay-later flows have no per-transaction cost.

No. RentalBeam never takes a commission on your booking revenue on any plan, and Pro adds no RentalBeam booking or application fee. If a guest pays by card through RentalBeam, only the standard Stripe card-processing fee applies - that fee goes to Stripe, the same as any payment processor. Inquiry-only, pay-later, and off-platform bookings (such as bank transfer) have no per-transaction cost at all.

Yes. RentalBeam Pro includes coupon codes, percentage and fixed-amount discount rules, and seasonal pricing tiers. You can run promotional codes for repeat guests, configure off-season discounts, and combine them with custom fees and booking rules from the same booking form widget setup.

Yes. On Pro, every booking notification email includes a reply address linked to that booking. Reply in Gmail, Apple Mail, or any email app and your message goes to the guest. When they reply, it comes back to your inbox and is saved in the dashboard Messages tab. Your personal email address is never shared with the guest.

An availability calendar for a vacation rental is an embeddable tool that shows guests which dates are open or booked, syncs reservations across Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com through iCal to prevent double-bookings, and lets you take direct bookings from your own website. RentalBeam builds one from your existing iCal feeds in minutes, embeds on any site builder (Wix, Squarespace, WordPress, Webflow, or plain HTML), is free to start, and charges no commission on the direct bookings it brings you.

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. It makes your own site feel more complete and gives guests a reason to contact you directly.

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. Exact timing can vary with each platform's own iCal cache, but RentalBeam refreshes your imported availability at most every 30 minutes.

RentalBeam includes a Free plan with 1 rental and 1 iCal source. If you need more rentals, source aggregation, custom styling, export URLs, or direct bookings, Plus and Pro are available with 3, 10, or 25 rentals and monthly or annual billing. Plus is always available for hosts who only need the calendar, while Pro adds the booking form and guest payments with a trial on new accounts.

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 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. The free plan includes 1 rental. Upgrade to Plus or Pro for 3, 10, or 25 rentals with monthly or annual billing. Paid plans can aggregate up to 10 iCal sources per rental.

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.

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.
