From tech overwhelm to direct booking website success

If you’ve ever stared at your vacation rental website and thought, “Does this actually make people want to book?” — you’re not alone.

Between websites, tech platforms, and SEO jargon, creating a site that truly converts can feel like another full-time job.

That’s why I’m so excited to be joining the 2025 Direct Booking Success Summit* as a first-time speaker!

In my session — The No-Stress Template to Creating a High-Converting Vacation Rental Website (that’s as dreamy as your IRL space) — I’ll show you how to turn your online presence into your most powerful booking engine. You’ll learn how to use a simple, stylish and strategic website template to build a brand that looks amazing, performs beautifully, and attracts direct bookings without needing a tech degree.

We’ll walk through practical strategies for design, layout, and SEO, all built around what really matters — helping guests find you, trust you, and book directly with you. I want to help you make your vacation rental website work for you, not the other way around.

This year’s Summit is happening on November 4–6, 2025, bringing together with 40+ incredible industry experts from around the world to help short-term rental hosts ditch the OTA dependency and finally feel confident marketing their properties. And the best part? It’s virtual and completely free to attend!

Here’s what you’ll learn (and get!)

During my session on Day 1, you’ll see just how simple it can be to build a beautiful, high-converting vacation rental website — one that works hard for your business and reflects your gorgeous real-world space.

I’ll walk you through:

The exact Squarespace template setup to save time, stay on brand, and start booking direct
Simple strategies that instantly build trust and showcase your property’s personality
Smart SEO tips to get your site found (even if tech isn’t your thing)
How to make your online space feel just as inviting as your real-life one

This isn’t about coding or fancy jargon — it’s about creating a website that works hard for you, so you can spend less time stressing and more time hosting.

And because I know SEO can feel intimidating (and sometimes mysterious), so I’ve created a special free bonus to go with my presentation — Booked by SEO. It’s a free guide and checklist with simple steps for vacation rentals to get found online and attract direct bookings — even if you’re not tech-savvy! This straightforward online guide helps make your vacation rental website Google-friendly and guest-ready. Think of it as your roadmap to showing up in search, attracting dream guests, and turning that visibility into actual bookings. Get more guests finding your vacation rental without relying on Airbnb or Booking.com!
