Your properties are invisible to millions.
Nearly half of all travelers begin their search on Google. But if you only list on Airbnb or Vrbo, you're missing out on guests who never make it to those platforms. Google Vacation Rentals puts your properties in front of travelers at the exact moment they're searching.
The Solution
Appear on Google. Keep every dollar.
Futurestay connects your direct booking site to Google Vacation Rentals, making your properties visible in Google Search, Google Maps, and Google Travel. When travelers click your listing, they book directly on your site—not an OTA.
Unlike Airbnb or Vrbo, Google doesn’t charge commissions or listing fees. You keep 100% of what you earn. And because you control the booking experience, you build direct relationships with guests who come back year after year.
