Grand Strand direct booking sites
Stop Paying Airbnb 15%. Get a Direct Booking Website Built by Someone Who Actually Lives Here.
If you own a vacation rental on the Grand Strand, you already know the number: Airbnb and VRBO take roughly 15% of every booking before you see a dime. On a property doing $30,000 a year, that is over $4,000 gone to a platform fee, every single year, for as long as you keep listing there.
A direct booking website gives guests a way to book with you directly, no platform fee, no algorithm deciding whether they see your listing. You keep the relationship with your guest and you keep the money.
I build these for Grand Strand owners specifically. I live in the Market Common area of Myrtle Beach, not in another state running location pages for cities I've never been to. When you have a question, you're talking to the person who actually built your site.

FAQ
Straight answers
How is this different from just using Airbnb's own website tools?
Airbnb's tools keep you inside Airbnb's ecosystem and Airbnb's fees. A direct booking site is yours: your domain, your booking engine, your guest data.
Do I still need to list on Airbnb and VRBO?
Most owners keep their OTA listings for discovery and just add a direct booking option for repeat guests, referrals, and anyone who finds you elsewhere. You are not choosing one over the other, you are adding a fee-free path.
How long does it take?
Seven business days from when you send your property details and photos to a live site.
What if I have multiple properties?
Even better. The more properties you own, the more a direct booking site saves you, and portfolio pricing works differently than the single-property rate above. Book a call and we'll work out the numbers for your properties.
Are you actually based in Myrtle Beach?
Yes. Market Common area.
