SHORT-TERM RENTAL HOSTS ARE RAVING
"I was hesitant about building my own website, but this package made it so easy! The Seafoam & Sand template is gorgeous and really captures the vibe of my beachfront property. The step-by-step training was incredibly helpful—I had my site up and running in just a few days. And I love that I own it outright and can make changes and updates to the site, anytime I want! The booking app has been a game-changer too, keeping everything streamlined. Highly recommend this to any short-term rental host!"
Sarah M.
Beachfront Property Owner
"I’ve never been tech-savvy, so I was worried about managing my own website, but this package made it so simple. The video training was clear, and I had my site up in no time. I’ve already seen an increase in direct bookings since launching, and I love how easy it is to update things whenever I need to. The booking app works flawlessly and has helped me stay organized. I really feel like I’m in control of my business now. Worth every penny!"
Michael T.
Mountain Cabin Host
"I’ve been paying high monthly fees to listing sites for years, and I was finally ready to make the switch to a direct booking website. This was exactly what I needed! The customization options for the template allowed me to make the site truly mine, and the app integration makes it so easy to manage bookings. Plus, the free trial of the app gave me the confidence to stick with it. I’m so glad I made the investment—my business is growing, and I’m keeping all my profits!"
Lily S.
Pet-Friendly Host
"When I first launched my vacation rental, I relied on booking sites, and they took a 15% commission. After setting up my own direct booking website, I’ve doubled my direct bookings in just 6 months. The savings are significant, and the website is very easy to update on my own. The best part? I’ve had 30% more repeat guests since launching my direct booking site. I can’t believe I didn’t do this sooner—this has been a total game-changer for my business!"
Rachel P.
Family-Friendly Owner
"I was spending about $1,500/month on third-party listing sites, which was draining my profits. After launching my own direct booking site with the help of this service, I’ve cut that cost down to zero, and my monthly revenue has increased by 20%. The website is easy to maintain, and the booking app helps me manage everything in one place. I’ve also noticed that I’m getting more repeat bookings, as guests appreciate being able to book directly. Honestly, this has transformed my business!"

STILL HAVE QUESTIONS?
You're not alone. That’s why we’ve added an FAQ section to answer all your “what ifs.”
Do I still need Airbnb or VRBO after I launch my direct booking site?
You don't have to abandon Airbnb or Vrbo — many hosts use OTAs for discovery while routing repeat guests to their direct booking site. The goal is to reduce your dependency over time so you keep more of every booking and own your guest relationships.
How much money can I save by having a direct booking website?
OTA commissions typically run 8–15% per booking, which means the average short-term rental host pays $6,000 to $12,000 per year in platform fees. A direct booking site lets you keep that revenue — or pass some savings to guests to attract more bookings.
How long does it take to get my website live?
You can have your website live in just a few days! The setup is quick and easy, and our training will guide you every step of the way.
What pages are included?
Each of our templates includes the following 8 pages:
· Home page
· Specifics page
· About page
· Local Fun page
· Contact page
· Privacy Policy page
· Terms of Use page
You can add on additional pages, such as:
· Paid Services & Experiences
· Navigation for multiple properties
· Lead magnet funnel
· Blog
Can I pick my own domain name?
Yes, you can—and we definitely recommend it! If you don’t have a domain yet, you can get one for free through Squarespace. If you already have a domain somewhere else, we’ll show you exactly how to connect it to your new site.
What if I have multiple properties?
No problem at all—your site can be set up for multiple properties! You'll learn how to customize your site to showcase each property beautifully and make it easy for guests to browse and book.
Do I need any technical or coding skills to build my direct booking website?
None at all. DiBSTR templates are built on Squarespace, which uses a simple drag-and-drop editor — no coding, no plugins, no developers required. The step-by-step video course walks you through every single thing you need to do, so even if you have never built a website before, you can have yours live in just a few days.
Is Squarespace a good platform for a short-term rental website?
Yes, Squarespace is one of the best choices for STR hosts because of its beautiful templates, easy drag-and-drop editor, and strong SEO performance. DiBSTR templates are built specifically on Squarespace so you get professional results without needing any coding skills.
Will guests trust booking directly with me instead of through Airbnb?
Yes, and research shows 95% of guests would book direct to save 10–15%. The key is building trust signals — a professional website, secure payment processing, visible reviews, and clear policies. Your DiBSTR site is designed to include all of these elements from day one.
Can I accept payments directly on my website?
Yes, if you choose to connect your DiBSTR website with the EasyBookSTR booking app, it handles payments, availability, and booking confirmations securely. You can also integrate other payment processors if you prefer a different solution.
Can I hook up my own booking app (PMS) to this site?
Yes, you can connect your own booking app (PMS) to your site! You’ll need to get the API or embed code from your provider, and while third-party integrations aren’t supported, you're welcome to use them if you’re comfortable setting it up.
That said, I include my own booking app with your site—free for the first 3 months and just $10/month after that. It’s fully compatible, easy to use, and I personally recommend it for the smoothest experience.
What is the difference between DiBSTR and using a PMS website?
PMS-based websites are functional but generic — they're not built to convert guests or reflect your brand. DiBSTR gives you a fully customizable, professionally designed Squarespace site branded to your property, your vibe, and your ideal guest — one you own outright, with no ongoing platform fees or percentage taken from your bookings.
How do I market my direct booking website to get more traffic?
The DiBSTR course and bonus reports cover proven strategies to grow your direct booking traffic — including SEO tips, blogging, lead magnet funnels, and converting past guests into repeat direct bookers. Your bonuses include step-by-step guides for each of these strategies.
What's Next?
Take control of your bookings. Keep more of what you earn.
Build a brand that lasts.
DiBSTR gives you the tools, templates, and support to do it—starting today.
