Vacation Rental WordPress theme Highlights:
WordPress Booking System for Vacation Rentals
The premium WordPress booking plugin is included for free to help you build a full-blown vacation rental website: feature amenities, photos, descriptions, size, view, bed types, sleeps, availability, extra services, etc.
Enable a real-time search availability form and booking calendars for properties. Rent out unlimited properties without extra commissions.
Sync Bookings with Airbnb and Other OTAs
Rent out directly and through agencies – avoid overbooking without extra commissions and channel managers! Synchronize all bookings submitted directly on your vacation rental WordPress website with those from OTAs like Airbnb with the built-in reservation plugin.
The system supports automatic iCal synchronization enabling you to exchange booking calendars with the rental property agencies where your accommodation is listed (make sure the former supports iCal).
Prepaid Online Bookings or Charge upon Arrival
Process online payments via built-in payment gateways and increase your international travelers audience: PayPal, 2Checkout, Stripe, Braintree, Beanstream/Bambora, etc.
If you need to use more local gateways, you’ll be able to add them with a premium WooCommerce Payments addon.
Guests can pay online a full / deposit price or can be charged only after arrival. Optionally disable a booking functionality and simply feature your rentals.
Flexible Booking Rules
The PMS allows you to set min / max days to stay and available check-in and check-out dates for all rentals, accommodations individually or seasons.
You may also make certain accommodations unavailable for a chosen period of time (set not check-in, not check-out or not stay-in rules). Optionally set different rates by setting price variables based on a number of guests.
Booking Confirmation Modes
Confirm property bookings automatically or manually, with or without a payment:
- by guest via email (confirmation link)
- by admin manually (confirmation link)
- by payment (full or deposit).
Not confirmed bookings during a set period of time become abandoned making them available for further reservation.
Seasonal Pricing and Rates
The high-season weeks demand the higher prices. Apply different prices for low and high seasons, weekends or any custom period.
Based on the amenities offered for a specific accommodation, you can set price variables for the same accommodation type – rates (e.g. non-refundable double room rate, refundable double room rate, etc).
Weekly and Monthly Rates
You can set any unit / apartment price depending on a season (any term). To create different price points based on the length of stay within the season, you can add weekly, monthly or other customizable rates (with any stay-in duration and its per-night price).
The properties will be automatically discounted according to your rate rules. A better per-night rate for a longer stay will help you stay competitive in the industry!
Free or Paid Extra Services
Offer bookable extra services or packages along with the rentals. Charge per accommodation or per person, one time or per night. Guests can add any preferable service to the cart when reserving your accommodation.
Taxes and Fees
Always have complete and correct pricing information on all accommodation charges. Collect and file mandatory fees, accommodation taxes, service taxes and fee taxes. The guests will be able to see the detailed summary of charges before confirming a booking. All payment info of each booking is stored in the admin dashboard for easier accounting.
Discount Coupons
Create personalized discount coupons for loyal guests or for using in promo campaigns!
You’ll be able to set a discount amount, an expiration date, select applicable accommodation types, set check-in and check-out dates and more. Sell the dreams cheaper and make each guest a loyal client!
One-Click Demo Data Import

The data importer is packed with the theme, so you’ll be able to replace sample data with your custom content without any hassle.
Native Integration with WordPress
