Game-changer for our vacation rental business
Launching Ocean City Vacation Homes was a significant milestone for me, but the journey had its challenges. I initially partnered with another agency, but their lack of support and direction left me searching for better options. That's when I found Villa Marketers, and it was a game-changer. Jay and his team took the time to truly understand my vision for a premier vacation rental experience in Ocean City, MD. They delivered a stunning, high-performance website that has already driven noticeable growth in our direct booking revenue. Jay's expertise and genuine commitment to his clients' success is unmatched. If you are a property manager looking for a partner that delivers on every promise, look no further than Villa Marketers.

Great website development experience
In 2019 I hired Villa Marketers to develop and manage the website for my vacation rental. The development process went smoothly and thanks to my website I have been able to attract book direct guests and provide all of my guests with great information about my property and the surrounding area before they even arrive.

Knokx delivered beyond our expectations
We looked for a long time to find a web design company that truly understood our goals and aesthetic as a short-term rental management company and Knokx delivered beyond our expectations. From the very first meeting, their team took the time to understand our vision, our properties, and what makes us unique in the Park City market. The result is a stunning, high-performing website that has already driven measurable growth in direct bookings. Working with Jay and the Knokx team has been nothing short of exceptional — their communication, expertise, and genuine care for our success set them apart. If you're a STR manager looking for a partner who will treat your brand like their own, look no further.

Exceeded expectations - best vacation rental site
From the first chat with Jay to the end product, I could not be more pleased, impressed and proud of the product we came up with. I have been in the IT sector for over 25yrs and now switching to vacation rental and this team knows their stuff. I can confidently say we have one of the best vacation sites on the web. The process is very methodical and walks you through what can be a very daunting task. Broken into smaller pieces and tackled one by one, the team covers everything you need and even pieces you didn't realize you needed. DJ is an expert in his field. Even when you thought the site was perfect, DJ would find a way to make it better. I am a bit of a perfectionist with details and any issues I raised were addressed and exceeded expectations. During the process I changed the scope of the project as I quickly learned DJ's capabilities and that change was handled professionally and fair. Experience and end product exceeded expectations, I have now engaged VM for a second project.

Excellent branding and SEO work
Villa Marketers did an excellent job branding and developing the necessary marketing material for my STR, Short Term Rental. First, they launched my website and made sure it was at the top of the Search Engines. Then they collaborated with me to understand how to convert clicks to sales. They have been an excellent partner and I look forward to their continued support to ensure BlueWater Cove Boutique Resort stays at the top of the search engines, and I stay up to date on leveraging social media as an advertising medium. I really enjoy working with the whole team.

Direct booking website builder for vacation rental hosts and property managers. Creates professional, SEO-optimized websites that integrate with major PMS platforms to drive commission-free direct bookings.

BnBFinder (rebranded as Savvy in January 2025) is a book-direct vacation rental marketplace that connects travelers with professionally managed properties — including vacation rentals, bed and breakfasts, inns, and boutique hotels — without charging any service fees to travelers. Founded in 1998 as a bed-and-breakfast directory, the platform was acquired in 2022 by Eric Goldreyer, who pivoted it into a professionally managed vacation rental marketplace. Savvy exclusively lists professionally managed and verified properties. Property managers remain the merchant of record, process their own payments, and own the entire guest relationship. The platform offers free standard listings with optional paid Boost tiers for increased visibility (up to 11.8x more exposure) and integrates with 20+ PMS including Guesty, Hostaway, Escapia, OwnerRez, and Lodgify. CEO Eric Goldreyer co-founded TurnKey Vacation Rentals (acquired by Vacasa for ~$600M) and founded BedandBreakfast.com (acquired by HomeAway).

Bookingmood provides embeddable booking and availability widgets that let vacation rental owners accept direct bookings from their own website. The platform offers customizable calendars, booking forms, rate management, and a built-in website builder. It integrates with over 40 website builders and uses iCal sync to stay updated with OTAs like Airbnb and Booking.com. Bookingmood is commission-free and serves rental hosts of all sizes across 50+ countries.
Booklee is a link-in-bio website builder for short-term rental hosts and small hotels. Users create mobile-optimized pages with property details, photo galleries, reviews, and booking links. A drag-and-drop editor lets hosts import listings from Airbnb or Booking.com, set rates, connect Stripe, and accept direct bookings. Booklee also offers digital guest guidebooks to replace paper manuals. It is one of the most affordable options in the market starting at $8.97 per month.
