Free Vacation Rental Website: Publish Your Book-Direct Site Today
Build your site, publish it live, and start taking booking requests without paying a dime.
Today we're opening something we've wanted to offer for a long time: a 100% free book-direct website for your vacation rental. 🏡
No credit card. No domain to buy first. No trial that runs out. OwnerWebs is now a free vacation rental website builder: build your site and publish it live for free, so guests can find it, check your calendar and send you booking requests.
Why we built this
We've watched a lot of owners sign up for OwnerWebs, pick a design, upload photos, write their descriptions and get their calendar set up. Then they stalled.
It wasn't because they didn't like what they built. The only way to see their work running live was to make the full leap to a paid OwnerWebs website with their own domain. Until then, everything they'd created sat in the editor where no guest could see it.
That's a big ask. You've put hours into your site, and you want to see it work before you commit. You want to share it with a past guest, send it to your spouse, post it in a Facebook group and watch a booking request come in.
So we built a bridge.
Every OwnerWebs website can now go live for free on its own subdomain, at an address like yourpropertyname.ownerwebs.site. It's a real, public website on the live internet, not a preview, and you can watch it work in action.
What you get with a free OwnerWebs website
📅 Calendar sync so you never double-book. Connect the calendars from the sites you already list on. Booked dates block off automatically, so a guest can't book dates that are already taken.
✉️ Free booking requests. Guests can send you booking requests straight from your website at no cost. You review the request, talk with the guest, and decide.
💳 Instant booking with Stripe, if you want it. Turn on instant booking and guests can book and pay right on your site through Stripe. On the free site there's a 7% fee per booking. On any paid plan it's 0%.
🌐 A live site you can share today. Text it to past guests. Put it on a card in your rental. Add it to your Google Business Profile. Post it on Facebook. It's live the moment you publish.
From free site to your own domain, without losing anything
Your free site is the starting point, not a dead end.
When you're ready, upgrade to a paid plan and connect your own domain, like yourpropertyname.com. When you do, your free subdomain automatically redirects to your new domain. That means:
- Every link you've shared keeps working
- Guests who saved your old address still find you
- Google is told your site has moved, so the search progress you've built carries over
You don't have to start over or rebuild anything. The work you did on the free site comes with you.
Why upgrade at all?
A free site can take real bookings, especially from past guests, referrals and social media. But your own domain makes everything stronger:
- More trust with first-time guests, especially when they're paying a deposit
- An address people remember and can say out loud
- Branded email, like info@yourpropertyname.com
- SEO that builds on a domain you own
- 0% commission on every booking, on any paid plan
Our $599/year plan gives you all of that, with no commission on any booking, ever.
Who this is for
- Owners who started building and stalled. Your site is waiting. Publish it free today.
- New owners who want to test direct booking before committing.
- Hosts tired of platform fees who want a way to bring guests back direct, starting now.
- Anyone who wants to see it working first. We get it. Now you can.
How to get started
- Create your free account at OwnerWebs.com.
- Build your site: add your photos, description, amenities and rates.
- Sync your calendars so you never double-book.
- Publish it live on your free subdomain.
- Share it and start taking booking requests.
- Upgrade to your own domain whenever you're ready. Your links and search progress come with you.
You can keep hoping VRBO and Airbnb are going to treat you better. They're not. Time to take matters into your own hands.
Your property. Your guests. Your website. Build yours free at OwnerWebs.com.
