Vacation rentals

Manage all your rentals
from one place

List on Airbnb, Booking.com, and VRBO without juggling three separate calendars. Areca keeps availability in sync across every channel and lets you take direct bookings straight from your own website.

Channel sync

One calendar. Every platform.

When a guest books on Airbnb, Areca instantly blocks those dates on Booking.com, VRBO, and every other channel you use. No manual updates, no double bookings. The same goes in reverse when a booking is cancelled or modified.

Prices & rules

Seasons, changeover days, and platform prices

Set a week minimum in summer, Saturday-only arrivals, and a slightly higher price on the platform with the biggest fee. Change it once in Areca and every channel follows.

Multi-Property

Scale from one property to many

Whether you manage one apartment or a portfolio of 30 homes, Areca keeps everything in view. Switch between properties, compare occupancy, and track revenue across your entire portfolio from a single account.
Cut OTA fees with your own booking page
Direct bookings

Cut OTA fees with your own booking page

OTAs take a significant cut from every booking. With Areca's commission-free booking engine, returning guests and direct inquiries can book straight from your website or a link you share. You keep the full payment.

Explore every feature

Everything that happens between a listing going live and the keys coming back.

Airbnb listings linked in minutes

Sign in to Airbnb from Areca and link each listing to the apartment it belongs to. No codes to copy.

Booked once, closed everywhere

An Airbnb booking closes the same dates on Booking.com, VRBO, and your website within seconds, and a cancellation opens them again.

A different price per platform

Add a few percent on the OTA that charges you the highest fee, and keep your website the cheapest place to book.

Foreign currency bookings converted

If a platform sends bookings in dollars or pounds, Areca can save them in your own currency.

Which platform earns most

Compare nights and revenue from Airbnb, Booking.com, VRBO, and direct bookings side by side.

Changeover days

Allow arrivals and departures only on Saturdays, or close check-ins on days you can't hand over keys.

Minimum nights by season

A week in August, three nights at Easter, two the rest of the year. The rules go out to every platform.

High and low season prices

Set seasons once and every apartment gets the right price for every night.

Block dates for the owner

Close an apartment for the owner's holiday or for repairs, and it stops selling on every platform.

Flexible and non-refundable rates

Offer a cheaper non-refundable price next to a flexible one, each with its own cancellation terms.

Check-in instructions by email

Put the address, parking tips, and key pickup in your confirmation email, and every guest gets them automatically.

Guest details for registration

Make ID number, nationality, or date of birth required, so you have what local registration asks for.

Tourist tax for each stay

Calculated per guest and night, or as a percentage, and shown to direct guests before they book.

Extras for the stay

Sell an airport transfer, a welcome pack, or a baby cot when guests book direct, and add more later.

Bring guests back direct

Send past guests a link with a discount code, so their next stay is booked without platform fees.

All rentals in one account

Add each apartment, villa, or cabin as its own property and switch between them in a click.

Access for co-hosts

Give a co-host or key holder their own login with only the permissions they need.

Alerts for new bookings

Get notified when a booking is made, changed, or cancelled on any platform.

Payments and expenses per rental

Record what guests paid and what you spent on cleaning or repairs, and export it for your accountant.

Connect smart locks and tools

Webhooks and the REST API send new bookings to your door code system, cleaning app, or spreadsheet.

More than a calendar sync

Why hosts move from calendar links and spreadsheets to Areca.

Seconds, not hours

iCal links refresh every few hours, which is how double bookings happen. Areca connects through the platforms' APIs and updates in seconds.

Prices, not just dates

Rates, minimum stays, and closed days are sent to the platforms too, so you stop logging in to each one.

0% on direct bookings

Your booking page and links have no commission and no booking fee for guests.

Pay per rental, not per booking

A flat monthly price per apartment, however many bookings it gets.

Guests from anywhere

A booking page in 7 languages with prices in the guest's own currency.

Help with the setup

Our team helps you link your listings and can import existing bookings for you.
