# A beach house rental website for a local rental company For a company with 6 to 40 homes in a beach town. A framed beach photo, a way to browse by how guests travel, a grid of compact cards and a page for each home with a booking card. Guests pay into your Stripe account. Searches like beach house rental website, beach rental company website and beach vacation rental website lead here. ## The short answer - The beach template (Sandpiper) is made for 6 to 40 homes in one town, browsed by the kind of trip. - Summer weeks run on your tool's rules: minimum stays and no-check-in days are enforced at checkout. - Take a first payment when guests book and the balance later, with a reminder to you when it's due. - No booking fee from PageHub. Stripe still charges its processing fees. ## What the beach template gives you - **Browse by how you travel.** A row of home types on the front page. A guest picks one and sees only those homes, in town. - **A grid of compact cards.** Photo, next open date, city, guests, rooms and the lowest nightly price, under a search form for dates, guests, city and amenity. - **A page for each home.** A gallery with a full-screen tour, the facts, amenities, check-in times and a booking card whose calendar is the date picker. - **A local guide and answers.** A section about the town, why to book with a local company, and an FAQ you write. ## Run the season from your tool Connect Hospitable, Hostaway or Guesty and the rules you already set come across: nightly prices by date, minimum stays and no-check-in days. - **Saturday to Saturday.** Close check-in on the other days in your tool and checkout refuses them on your site too. - **Weekly discounts.** Type a weekly percent on a home. It applies from 7 nights and the booking card shows the saving. - **Lodging tax.** Each home carries its own rate. It shows as its own line with the nights and the cleaning fee. ## Take the booking early, the rest later Set a Pay first percent on a home, say 30. The guest pays that share when they book and agrees to the rest on the same card. PageHub reminds you before the balance is due, 30 days before check-in unless you set another number. You press Charge balance, or send the guest a pay link if their bank wants them to approve the charge. Nothing is charged for you. A guest who books closer to arrival than the balance date pays in full. ## Many homes, one calendar - **Every home on one screen.** Homes down the side, days along the top. Booked nights, nights you closed and nights closed in your rental tool each look different. - **Close dates across homes.** Drag across days to pick a range, pick the homes, and close them together. A home with a booking in the range is named, and the others close. - **A link for each platform.** Each home has its own calendar link for Airbnb, Vrbo or Booking.com, so nights booked on your site are marked taken there. ## Area pages for the towns you rent in Write a page for each beach or neighbourhood. An area page lists the homes whose city matches its city, and your site's footer links to it. A company that rents in three towns can have three pages that each show their own homes. ## Your homes next to a platform listing A platform listing can stay as it is. Calendar links keep one night from being sold twice. Each platform has its own rules about links and messages, so read what Airbnb allows before you tell anyone about your site. ## Everything in the Rentals pack $49 a month up to 5 homes, $99 up to 25, $199 up to 100. Your site is included, and PageHub takes no booking fee. Stripe still charges its processing fees. - **Bookings paid into your Stripe.** Guests pick dates on each home's calendar and pay into your own Stripe account. Charge at once, or hold the card until you approve. - **Part payment.** Guests pay part now and agree to the balance on the same card. You press Charge balance when it's due, and PageHub reminds you. - **Refundable security deposit.** Place a hold on the guest's card before check-in, then release it or keep part of it from your Orders screen. - **Rental agreements signed online.** Guests type their name and agree before they pay. Each order keeps the exact text they signed. - **Discounts, promo codes and cancellation.** Weekly and monthly discounts, promo codes on your Stripe account, and a cancellation policy that suggests each refund. - **Guest list and book-again emails.** Every guest who books is saved. Email past guests who agreed to offers, with a promo code for their next stay. - **Abandoned-booking email.** A guest who agreed to offers and left checkout gets one email about an hour later, with their dates filled in. - **One calendar for every home.** See every home's bookings on one screen, and close the same dates on several homes at once. - **Sync alerts.** Homes sync from Hospitable, Hostaway, Guesty or Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com calendar links. If a sync keeps failing, PageHub emails you. - **A page for every home and area.** Each home gets its own page, title, share image and vacation rental structured data, plus area and guide pages for your sitemap. - **Purchase tracking.** Each booking sends a purchase event to Google Analytics 4 and the Meta pixel, with the booking's value and no guest details. - **Set it up by asking your AI.** Connect PageHub to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor. The Set up direct bookings skill connects Stripe, brings in your homes and checks every fee and policy. Building by asking?

The rentals pack covers up to 100 homes on a site. ### Can I run Saturday-to-Saturday weeks? If your rental tool closes check-in on the other days, checkout on your site refuses them too. Homes you add from calendar links carry dates only, so those rules come from a rental tool. ### Can I take a first payment in spring for a summer week? Set a Pay first percent on the home. The guest pays that share when they book and agrees to the rest on the same card. You press Charge balance when it's due, or send a pay link. PageHub reminds you 30 days before check-in unless you set another number. ### Can I add lodging tax? Yes. Each home carries a tax rate, and the guest sees it as its own line. You're responsible for the rate and for paying it to your city or state. ### Can I close several homes at once? Yes. The Calendar screen shows every home. Drag across dates, pick the homes and close them together. A home with a booking in the range is named. Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, Hospitable, Hostaway, Guesty and Stripe are trademarks of their owners. PageHub isn't affiliated with or endorsed by them.
