What it does
Running a rental property usually means juggling a website, a calendar, payment tools and listings on travel sites. This theme brings those jobs into one WordPress setup. You create detailed listings for each accommodation with photos, amenities, availability and extra services, then set the rules for how guests can book them. It suits chalets, gîtes, guest houses, hotels and resort residences, and the layout works on phones as well as desktops.
Behind the design sits a property management system from the MotoPress Hotel Booking plugin. You can set minimum and maximum stays, check-in and check-out restrictions, and rates by season, guest count or length of stay. Payments run through gateways such as PayPal, Stripe and 2Checkout, with deposits, full payment or pay on arrival. Bookings sync with sites like Airbnb through iCal to help avoid double bookings, and an admin calendar lets you manage dates, rates and availability in one place.
Best for
- Owners of cabins, chalets and vacation homes
- Bed and breakfasts and small guest houses
- Property managers running several rental units
