Your Guide to Maximising Visibility, Bookings, and Profit with Book Direct Power
In today’s crowded vacation rental market, standing out is more important than ever. With traditional platforms charging high fees and taking control away from owners, many property managers and holiday rental owners are turning to book direct solutions to take back control, maximise profits, and deliver more personal experiences to their guests.
One of the most effective ways to make your holiday rental shine? Getting featured on Breakz—a game-changing network of curated book direct websites that connect your listing with travellers who are ready to book directly with you, not a third-party platform.
Why Booking Direct Is the Smart Choice
For owners and property managers, listing on third-party platforms often comes with hefty fees, strict rules, and less control over your vacation rental business. Guests pay more too, thanks to platform commissions and service charges.
By contrast, a book direct website lets you:
- Keep more of your earnings
- Offer better deals to guests
- Build lasting guest relationships
- Take charge of your brand and property presentation
Platforms like Breakz and Search and Stay are revolutionising how owners list, manage, and grow their short-term rental businesses.
