Do I need a PMS to use Haven?

No. Haven works as a standalone direct booking platform. You can import your listing from Airbnb and manage everything — calendar, pricing, payments, and guest communication — directly inside Haven. If you do use a PMS, Haven syncs with it via iCal.

Can I still use Airbnb and Vrbo?

Yes. Haven is designed to work alongside OTAs, not replace them. Calendar sync keeps your availability consistent across all your channels so you can accept direct bookings without risking double bookings on Airbnb or Vrbo.

How fast can I launch?

Most hosts have a live booking page within 15 minutes. Haven generates your property page from your existing listing data, so you don't need to re-enter descriptions, photos, or pricing from scratch.

How does calendar sync work?

Haven uses two-way iCal sync — the same standard used by Airbnb, Vrbo, and most PMS tools. When a booking comes in on any channel, blocked dates update across all connected calendars within minutes.

Is this good for single-property hosts?

Yes. Haven works for hosts with one property or many. The setup is the same, and you get the same booking page, calendar sync, and payment processing regardless of how many properties you manage.

Do I need coding or design experience?

No. Haven generates a professional booking page automatically from your listing data. There's no code to write, no templates to customize, and no design decisions you need to make to get a working direct booking site.

Direct booking without the operational mess

An easier way for hosts to add direct bookings

Haven helps you launch a direct booking website that fits alongside Airbnb, Vrbo, and your existing workflow — without heavy setup or technical overhead.

See how it works

Why most hosts haven’t added direct bookings yet

It’s not that direct bookings don’t make sense. It’s that the tools to get there create more work than they save.

Too many moving parts

Most direct booking setups require stitching together a website builder, payment processor, calendar tool, and messaging platform. The operational overhead keeps most hosts from ever finishing.

Setup turns into a project

What starts as a weekend task becomes weeks of configuring integrations, troubleshooting sync issues, and learning tools that weren't built for vacation rentals.

The PMS assumption

Many hosts assume they need a PMS before they can take direct bookings. But if you're managing a few properties through Airbnb or Vrbo, you shouldn't have to adopt enterprise software just to accept a direct reservation.

What You Get

Launch without a heavy buildout

Import your listing, configure your pricing, and go live with a professional booking page. Haven handles the technical setup so you can skip the project management.

Fit direct bookings into your current workflow

Calendar sync keeps your availability consistent across Airbnb, Vrbo, and your direct booking site. You don't have to choose one channel over another.

Spend less time on setup and maintenance

Payments, guest communication, and booking management are built in. You get a direct booking channel without bolting together a stack of separate tools.
