For Airbnb hosts
Do Airbnb hosts need a direct booking website?
Short answer: Airbnb hosts with repeat guests, referrals, or local followers benefit from a direct booking website so those stays skip platform fees while the Airbnb listing stays live.
If you already rent short-term on Airbnb, a direct booking website is for guests who already know you—or find you on Google, social, or a QR in the house—not for replacing Airbnb search.
KeepItDirect builds that site for independent hosts who manage their own rentals. Your Airbnb listing stays up. Guests see your availability and request to book; you approve every guest and take payment directly. Setup is $149 + $19/month.
Hosts who usually do not need this yet: people who are not renting short-term, or hosts who want full property-management software (instant book, automated messaging, a channel manager). That is a different product category. KeepItDirect does include two-way calendar sync with Airbnb and Vrbo.
