GRUPZ Vacation Rental Calendars

The GRUPZ Vacation Rental Booking widget is an integrated vacation rental availability calendar and direct inquiry form for guests. It can be used to take vacation rental inquiries and booking requests on your direct vacation rental site, blog... anywhere you can embed an iFrame. When a guest submits an inquiry, you get instant alerts via email and SMS text. The widget provides price quotes or estimates, has a mobile-friendly design, and can sync with any calendar—Airbnb, VRBO/HomeAway, Google Calendar or any other iCalendar URL. While the capabilities are very sophisticated, setup is very quick and easy: A "Getting Started" video overview can be found here: . Advanced availability features include allowing you to set different minimum nightly stays by check-in day of week. An advanced fees interface allows you to set up simple flat fees, per-night fees, fees by number of guests, and percentage-of-rent fees. A subscription to this widget includes our GRUPZ Vacation Rental Calendar Widgets (on Product Hunt here: https://www.producthunt.com/post...), so you can use both in your site(s) as needed. This service/app and the other ones I've built are based on my experiences in building a dedicated website for my own vacation rental property. At the moment, there really aren't many tools like this that are aimed at the individual owner. Many of the property management systems (some of which are really great) are just "too much of a muchness" and really overkill for owners of just a single (or small number of) properties. Further, other solutions for displaying availability in this way actually expose private information about upcoming guest bookings. (The issue that Airbnb iCal feeds actually include things like guest names and mobile phone numbers is pretty regularly discussed in various forums.) The GRUPZ tools are designed with security and privacy in mind.
