Keep every listing you already have. Add the one you don't.

Saltwater Direct gives your holiday let its own booking page -- live availability, real prices, instant confirmation -- so the guests already searching for you by name have somewhere to book direct. Nothing comes down from Airbnb, Booking.com or Vrbo. This runs alongside them.

The product

What Saltwater Direct actually does

A booking page built to be found directly from you at 0% commission*, availability kept in sync with Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo, your own pricing and the automation that runs it for you.

*we never charge commission on bookings that are yours, only for bookings we bring you.

The comparison

Why use it vs. the alternatives

vs. staying on OTAs only

Every booking through Airbnb, Booking.com or Vrbo costs you their commission, and you never get the guest's direct contact details for next time. A guest who already found you once and comes back, or tells a friend, currently has to go back through the platform to book again. Saltwater Direct gives that guest a place to land direct instead. Message them your own link and it's 0% commission from us. Even when they find your page by searching your name instead, our flat 10% is still a fraction of what you'd pay the OTA on the same booking.

vs. building your own website

A generic website builder can show pretty photos, but it doesn't know your calendar. Keeping availability accurate by hand across a website, Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo is exactly the kind of manual sync work that causes double-bookings. Saltwater Direct is built around the calendar and pricing engine first -- the booking page is the visible part of a system that actually manages availability, not a brochure bolted on top of one.

vs. a generic PMS

Most property management systems are built to manage your calendar and stop there, leaving the direct-booking side to you. Saltwater Direct treats a bookable, search-friendly guest page as the point, not an add-on -- calendar management and a real place for guests to book you direct, from one system.

The opportunity

Your guests are already looking for you

When someone finds your property on Airbnb, a lot of them do the same thing next. They search your property's name to see whether they can book it direct.

Right now, most of them find nothing. So they go back and book through the platform, and you pay the commission on a guest who was actively trying to come to you.

Saltwater Direct gives that search somewhere to land. Your property gets its own page with live availability, real prices and a booking button, built to be found when someone searches it by name. Your listings stay exactly where they are. Nothing needs to come down.

Because that's a search bringing you the guest, whether it's our own site or Google finding your page, it carries our flat 10% commission, still well under what the OTA would have taken on the same booking. Share your own link with a guest directly and it stays 0%, always.
