For owners and small managers letting holiday homes, cabins, villas or apartments by the night, and taking bookings direct instead of paying a platform commission. The vertical is set to short-stay, so the wording is properties and guests rather than cars and drivers, and the settings pane drops driver age, licences, mileage and fuel entirely. Three demo properties are provisioned - a house, a villa and an apartment - each with one unit, because a specific property can only be let to one party at a time.
Set a minimum stay per season before anything else: it is the rule that protects your weekends, and it is enforced on the booking path rather than written in the small print. Put the things guests actually filter on - how many it sleeps, bedrooms, parking, whether pets are welcome - on every listing, and be exact about check-in and check-out times so the turnaround between guests is real. If you charge a cleaning fee or a damage deposit, show it before the booking, not after.
A holiday let pays a platform for a guest who searched for the property by name after finding it there. The site exists to catch that guest and keep the commission.
Bedrooms, beds, bathrooms, what the kitchen has, whether the wifi is fast enough to work, how many stairs. Guests filter on these and platforms have trained them to expect the detail.
A calendar that shows what is free, with the minimum stay for that season, answers the only question most visitors have. Setting it up is covered in seasonal prices and minimum stay.
Check-in method, cleaning fee, deposit, pets, parking, the walk from the car. Guests reward the listing that told them in advance.
Nightly rates, seasons and deposits are configured through pricing, fees and deposits. The full argument is in the holiday rental website guide.

It is set up for Rentals. Those are built in rather than add-ons, so they work from the moment the site is created.
It arrives with 3 properties priced and ready to hire, so you are editing a working business rather than filling in an empty layout. Replace the demo content with your own as you go.
Literata for headings and Source Sans 3 for body text, on a palette built around #1f5f63 and #b5482f.
