Why hosts add it

Give guests date confidence before they contact you

A synced website calendar makes your own site feel more complete, more trustworthy, and less dependent on sending guests back to another marketplace just to check dates.

Keep more direct-booking revenue

A clear website calendar helps guests check open dates on your own site before they return to a platform with booking fees.

Prevent double bookings

Aggregate booking-platform feeds into one calendar now, then upgrade for combined export URLs and sync visibility when you need more control.

Stay professional and private

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about vacation rental calendar widgets

Yes. RentalBeam Pro is sold publicly in two variants: Standard and No application fee. Both variants include the exact same booking form widget, guest payment workflow, coupon codes, seasonal pricing, custom fields, and booking rules. The only difference is the booking fee model on hosted guest card payments. The No application fee variant removes the RentalBeam application fee entirely, so hosts only pay normal card-processing fees from Stripe.

It depends on which public Pro variant you pick. Standard Pro adds a small RentalBeam application fee on hosted guest card payments. No application fee Pro removes the RentalBeam application fee entirely, leaving only standard Stripe card-processing fees. Direct bookings that you collect off-platform (for example via a pay-later link or bank transfer) never incur a RentalBeam application fee on either variant. The availability calendar itself, on Free and Plus, never takes a percentage.

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.

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. Update timing can vary by platform cache behavior.

RentalBeam includes a Free plan with 1 calendar and 1 iCal source. If you need more calendars, source aggregation, custom styling, export URLs, or direct bookings, Plus and Pro are available with 3, 10, or 25 calendars 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 calendar. Upgrade to Plus or Pro for 3, 10, or 25 calendars with monthly or annual billing. Paid plans can aggregate up to 10 iCal sources per calendar.

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.
