Websites for short-term rentals

Tibly for vacation rentals.

Your listing is not your business. The platform owns the guest, the brand, and a cut of every stay. Tibly gives you the other half: your own site, your own guests, packages you sell direct, and a place in the answer when someone asks AI where to stay.

By submitting, you agree to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. We never sell your email.

Why hosts build direct

You built the property. The platform built the brand.

Staying on the listing sites is fine. Depending on them entirely is the risk.

Commission Tibly takes on a direct booking. You pay card processing, not a cut of every stay.

Properties a typical AI answer names when a guest asks where to stay. Everyone else is invisible.

1 minute

To a live site you can edit yourself. No agency, no CMS, no developer on retainer.

What you get

A brand, not a listing.

Everything a boutique property needs to sell stays, sell occasions, and stop renting its identity from someone else.

Site

A site that looks like the property

Describe the place or import the site you already have, and get a live multi-page site in about a minute. Full-bleed imagery, video backgrounds, very little clutter. The boutique-hotel feel, not the listing-page feel.

Editing

Edit it like a doc

Click the page and type. Change a rate, swap a photo, rewrite the story after a shoot. It saves as you go, so the site never goes stale between seasons.

Packages

Sell occasions, not just nights

Proposals, anniversaries, babymoons, vow renewals. Build each one as a package with its own page, price, and checkout. This is the margin the listing platforms have no way to sell for you.

Payments

Take money directly

Card payments and invoices on your own site through Stripe. Deposits for a micro event, the balance before arrival, an add-on bought a week out. It lands in your account, not someone else's ledger.

Inquiries

Every inquiry in one inbox

Date requests, event questions, and package interest come into a single inbox with the guest's email captured. That list is the asset the platform will never hand over.

AI visibility

Be the answer in AI search

Guests now ask ChatGPT and Google AI where to stay and get a couple of names back. Tibly tracks those questions for your area, shows whether you are named, and drafts the pages that get you into the answer.

Questions we track

The searches that fill a calendar.

High-intent trip planning happens in AI answers and search now. These are the question families Tibly tracks and writes for.

  • Occasion searches. “proposal spot”, “engagement package”, “vow renewal venue”
  • Romantic and couples travel: The highest-margin, highest-intent trip there is
  • Private and secluded stays. “private desert retreat”, “secluded cabin with a hot tub”
  • Small-event searches: Micro-weddings, elopements, milestone birthdays, retreats
  • Babymoons, anniversaries, and milestone trips booked months in advance
  • Amenity searches: Pool, hot tub, pet friendly, stargazing, dark sky, architectural
  • “Best places to stay in” your area, where the engines pick a short list
  • Your own questions: Add anything your guests ask, in plain English
Questions hosts ask

The honest version.

Do I have to leave Airbnb to use Tibly?
No, and most hosts should not. The listing platforms are good at reach, and that is worth keeping. Tibly is the surface you own alongside them: the brand, the direct guests, the packages, and the email list. Run both and shift the mix over time.
Does Tibly handle nightly booking and calendar sync?
Not yet, and we would rather say so plainly. Today Tibly runs your site, captures date requests and event inquiries, sells packages and add-ons, and takes deposits and payments through Stripe. A nightly availability calendar with two-way Airbnb and VRBO sync is the next thing we are building. If that is your blocker, talk to us, because we are choosing design partners for it now.
What can I actually sell on day one?
Experience and occasion packages with real checkout, event deposits and invoices, add-ons like a photographer or a stocked fridge, and gift certificates. Stay inquiries come into your inbox and you confirm them yourself, the way most boutique properties already work.
Can I use the site I already have?
Yes. Import your existing site and Tibly rebuilds it as something you can edit yourself, or start fresh from a description of the property. Either way you keep your domain.
I am not technical. Is this actually manageable?
That is the whole design goal. There is no CMS to log into and no developer to schedule. You click the part of the page you want to change and type, and it saves. If you can use a Google Doc, you can run the site.
