For rental managers and owners: your own booking site, a page for every guest, and the follow-up that brings them back to book direct. With the software you use today, or without any.

Welcome, Ana
14 to 19 March, 4 guests
The result is the same for everyone: guests who book with you directly next time. Only the first step depends on your setup today.
You use property software
We connect to your system, so every reservation from Airbnb, Vrbo or Booking.com reaches us with the guest's name and dates. Your software keeps running the calendars, prices and platforms.
You manage the platforms by hand
We sync your Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com calendars with your own site, so a booking in one place blocks the dates in the others.
You have no website yet
Your homes, your photos, your words, in English and Spanish, from $799. Switch on booking and payments from day one, or later.
Airbnb has moved hosts to a single fee, taken from your payout: 15.5% of the whole stay, cleaning and extra-guest fees included - 16% in some countries. On a $1,500 week, that's about $232.
When the same guest comes back and books on your own site, that money stays with you.
Software-connected hosts moved first, from October 2025; every remaining host moves over during 2026. Source: Airbnb.
Four steps, set up once and then running on their own. You approve every message and page before anything goes to a guest.
We connect to your property software, so every reservation from Airbnb, Vrbo or Booking.com reaches us with the guest's name and dates. No software? We sync your calendars instead.
Before arrival each guest gets a page for their stay: directions with photos, the house guide and the agreement to sign, shared with everyone in the group. Guests leave their details there - so they're yours, not the platform's.
During the stay, messages go through the platform. After checkout we send your thank-you by email or WhatsApp, with an offer that only works on your own site.
They book the next stay on your site and pay into your own account. Your report shows it next to the platform bookings, so you can see the direct share grow.
Everything below comes with every plan. We set it up, in your name and your colours, and run it with you.
* WhatsApp is optional.
A demo with made-up homes and bookings.
Every message goes out under your name, at the right moment, in English or Spanish. You approve the wording once; after that it runs on its own.
For guests who booked on a platform, messages during the booking go through your software's connection to that platform, as its rules require.
The chef, the driver, the boat captain you already trust. You add them and set the price; guests book them from their page.
Charged to the guest's card only when you confirm.
Real homes in Costa Rica, on their own sites. Hover over a site to scroll through it, or open it and try it yourself.
Unique Costa Rica Villas · Southern Pacific
Guests pick a villa and dates, see the price for the season and pay - on Unique's own site, not a platform. The team runs it from an owner dashboard, and every guest gets their emails without anyone retyping a thing.
High View Vacation Rentals · Central Pacific
Several homes on one site, each with its own page and photos, in English and Spanish, run by the owner.
Between Waves and Woods · Sámara
A new build a short walk from the beach, with a direct nightly rate on its own site. The owner changes rates and photos without calling anyone.

Best part is I can update photos and rates myself without calling anyone. Guests find us directly now instead of getting lost on the big rental platforms.
He understood our company and our brand instantly... We are so happy to be going live and to start accepting direct bookings.
Lars was always available, patient, and willing to listen to every idea I had. He really went the extra mile.
One monthly price by the number of homes you manage, with everything included - or start small with a share of the bookings on your own site. Nothing on bookings from Airbnb, Vrbo or Booking.com.
Rentals, every month
Or start small
$29 a month plus 1.5% of the bookings made on your own site - and never more than your monthly price above. Useful while your direct bookings are still growing.
Monthly price
$99
a month, whatever you book
Start small
$89
$29 + 1.5% of $4,000
Start small is cheaper for you right now. Once your own site takes more than $4,667 a month, you simply pay $99.
To get started, one time
The website is priced by the homes you manage. Booking is optional: without it, the site is from $29 a month to keep it running.
Bring your numbers. We'll work out which option suits you, and tell you plainly if it isn't worth it.
Everything that's included, and questions about pricing: see the full pricing page.
No. Your software keeps running the calendars, prices and platforms. We connect to it and add the parts it doesn't do - your own booking site, the guest pages and the follow-up.
No. The platforms are where most first-time guests find you, and they should stay. What changes is the second booking: we give guests a reason, and a place, to book it with you directly.
Yes. We sync your platform calendars with your own site, so a direct booking blocks the dates, and guests receive their page through each platform's scheduled messages. You don't need to buy anything else to start.
Yours. Guests pay into your own payment account, and we never hold guest money. Local extras work the same way: the guest's card is charged on your account only when you confirm.
While the booking is on a platform, messages go through your software's connection to that platform, so they stay inside the platform as its rules require. After checkout, guests who left their details on their page hear from you by email or WhatsApp.
Usually two to four weeks from the day you say go. We set everything up; you review the site, the guest page and the messages before anything reaches a guest.
Lars Beurskens leads every project, from the first call to the day your site goes live - and after.
Before Pulpería he spent fifteen years building digital products at adidas, RetailMeNot and Gumtree. A small team works with him on design, build and support, from Costa Rica.
