The next nine weeks

Each day is a button. Left and right arrows move a day around the ring, up and down move a week. Enter or Space picks check-in, then check-out. On a small screen, a day opens the List view at its week.

Your stay

The rings are the next nine weeks, one ring a week. Yellow is booked on Airbnb, cyan on Vrbo, white booked direct. They come from each listing's calendar link, so the host never types a booking twice.

The calendar reads Sunbather House's Airbnb and Vrbo calendars through iCal, the calendar link both sites already give every host, so nights booked there show here as taken. Each source is drawn in its own color, so the host sees at a glance where every booking came from. It works the other way too: nights booked here go out to Airbnb and Vrbo.

Guests

Why request and approve, not instant booking: Airbnb re-reads an imported calendar only about every 3 hours, so a night just booked there can still look open here for a while. So the guest sends a request, and approving it re-checks both calendars before anyone pays. No double bookings.

Your estimate

Estimate, itemized
Total

Example tax rates for a home in Osceola County. The host's accountant confirms the real ones.

Each tax is its own line (Florida sales tax 6%, Osceola County surtax 1.5%, Osceola County tourist development tax 6%), worked out on rent plus cleaning and rounded to the cent. The guest sees exactly what they pay. The host still files and pays them, to the state and to the county; the monthly report on the host's side has the numbers.

Cancellation policy

Cancel 30 or more days before check-in for a full refund. Cancel 14 to 29 days before for half the total back. After that, there's no refund.

Rental agreement

Sample rental agreement, version 1. A plain sample for this demo, not legal advice.

The stay. Check-in is from 4 pm and check-out is by 10 am, on the dates in your request.
Guests. Up to 8 people stay overnight. No parties or events.
The pool. There's no lifeguard. Children stay with an adult in the pool area, and the gate stays shut.
Quiet hours. 10 pm to 8 am. The neighbors are families too.
The house. No smoking inside and no pets. Two cars in the driveway, none on the lawn.
Damage. Tell the host about anything broken. Repairs beyond normal wear may be charged, with photos and receipts.
Payment. Pay the total through the payment link within 24 hours of approval, or the request lapses.
Cancelling. As in the cancellation policy above. Refunds go back to the card you paid with.
Taxes. Florida and Osceola County taxes are charged as shown. The host pays them to the state and the county.

I've read the rental agreement and the cancellation policy, and I accept them.

Type your full name to sign

The guest signs by typing their full name and ticking the box. The system stores the typed name, the time, the guest's IP address and which version of the agreement they accepted, so the host can always show what was agreed to.

Sending asks Marisol to approve your dates. Nothing is charged.

VowBuilt booking. Taking our first hosts now. Each goes live after a test booking.

VowBuilt booking is open to a first group of hosts now. Each host's site goes live only after a full test booking on their own Stripe account, first in test mode, then live.

Inndirectly sends guests to a host's own booking options. With Option 2, a host who only had Airbnb and Vrbo now has somewhere for that link to land.

Fifteen minutes to the parks. Quiet when you get back.

The house is on a dead-end street in a neighborhood of single-family homes, not a resort. No through traffic, no shuttle lines, and groceries five minutes away.

I'm Marisol. I live ten minutes away, so if something isn't right, I can come fix it.

See the host's side

This is what Marisol sees when a request comes in. It's a sample: approve it, take the payment, try a refund, or say no.

Host viewRequests · Sunbather HouseSample

The sample request loads here.

Approve re-reads the Airbnb and Vrbo calendars first. If the nights were booked there in the meantime, the host is told and the guest gets a polite no instead of a pay link.

The pay link is Stripe's own checkout, on the host's own Stripe account. The money goes straight to the host, less Stripe's card fee. VowBuilt takes no cut and charges no booking commission. The guest gets a confirmation with an itemized receipt, and an arrival email before check-in.

Refunds: the host presses Refund, picks the day the guest cancelled, and sees what the cancellation policy allows. The refund goes back through Stripe to the guest's card, and the nights open again. No security deposits in version 1.

Monthly tax report

One report per home each month: the nights, the rent, the cleaning, the taxable base and each tax, ready to file.

Every month, one report per home: nights, rent, cleaning, the taxable base and each tax, for the host or their accountant to file. This button builds a small sample CSV in the page, from the request you sent if you sent one, or from the sample.

Marisol's ringsThe request, the rest ghosted

Once the guest pays, the nights go into the site's outgoing calendar feed. Airbnb and Vrbo read that feed and block the dates there, the same iCal link in the other direction. Try it: after the guest pays, the calendar at the top shows the stay as booked direct.
