Solutions for vacation rentals
Vacation rental websites with direct bookings and a multilingual AI agent
Recover the 15-20% commission OTAs eat. We build you a direct-booking site with a reservation engine, calendar synced with Airbnb and Booking, automatic deposits and an AI WhatsApp agent that handles Spanish, English, Portuguese and French 24/7.
What's costing you money today
The problems we see repeating among owners and property managers in Riviera Maya, Cancún, Tulum and Los Cabos:
- 01
Double bookings because every OTA has its own calendar
Without a channel manager you end up apologizing — and refunding — when Airbnb and Booking sell the same night. A single overbooking review can tank your ranking for months.
- 02
Guests ask in Spanish, English, French and German
If you reply manually, messages pile up at 2am and you lose bookings to tourists comparing 4 properties at once. Response speed is the first filter.
- 03
Payments and deposits tracked in Excel
Human error = unpaid nights, guest disputes or miscalculated refunds. Without a system that charges the deposit instantly and releases the balance before check-in, cash flow is fragile.
- 04
60% of your bookings come via OTAs with 15-20% commission
Without a solid direct channel, your margin evaporates every high season. A proper website with SEO and a reservation engine pays itself back in 6-12 months.
Services that move the needle in vacation rentals
The typical stack we build for a vacation rental operation — from a single-property owner to a property manager with 50-500 units:
What you gain with this stack
Direct bookings — you recover 15-20% in OTA commissions
Every booking through your own site is pure margin. Property managers that move 30% direct vs 100% OTA see the impact in the first quarter.
Zero double bookings — single synced calendar
Channel manager updates Airbnb, Booking, VRBO and your site in real time. Blocked nights propagate everywhere instantly.
24/7 multilingual support without a receptionist
The AI WhatsApp agent answers while you sleep, in the guest's language. Your team only steps in when the query is real or requires a decision.
Automatic billing and invoicing — zero manual errors
Deposits, balances, refunds and CFDI 4.0 process themselves. Your accountant gets the monthly report ready; you stop fighting Excel.
FAQs — vacation rentals
- Do you work with existing channel managers like Guesty, Hostaway or Rentals United?
- Yes. If you already use Guesty, Hostaway, Rentals United, Lodgify or similar, we integrate your new site with the channel manager's API so availability and pricing stay in a single source. If you don't use one, we recommend the best fit for your operation size.
- How are deposits handled in USD vs MXN?
- Stripe lets you charge in the currency you prefer per booking. We detect the guest's country or let them choose: international tourists usually pay in USD, locals in MXN. Settlement reaches your MXN or USD account based on the setup you prefer.
- Does the booking engine sync with Airbnb and Booking automatically?
- Yes, via channel manager (Guesty, Hostaway, Lodgify, etc.) or via iCal for smaller operations. When a booking comes through Airbnb, your site blocks those nights within seconds. Same in reverse: a direct booking closes availability across all OTAs.
- Do you serve individual owners or only large property managers?
- Both. For an owner with 1-3 properties we build something simple and affordable (site + bookings + iCal). For property managers with 50-500 units we go full stack: channel manager, AI agent, post-stay automation and occupancy dashboards.
- How much does a site cost for one property vs 50?
- A single property starts around $25,000-$45,000 MXN (site + booking engine + Stripe + basic multilingual). A 10-50 unit portfolio with channel manager, AI agent and full automation runs $120,000-$350,000+ MXN. We quote free after a diagnostic call.
- How long until it's live?
- A single property: 3-5 weeks with your content (photos, descriptions). A portfolio with channel manager integration and AI agent: 8-14 weeks depending on how many units and how clean your current data is.
