The Problem
We experienced this firsthand. As hosts ourselves, we got tired of platforms taking a cut and hiding our guests' info. So we built BeckonSites.
See our solution โYou do the hosting. The platform keeps the relationship. When a guest wants to return, they go back through the OTA, costing you 15% again.
A guest who loves your home shouldn't cost you $150 in platform fees each visit. There's a better way to keep them coming back.
OTA search ranking is not a business strategy. Hosts who rely solely on platforms live in constant fear of de-listing.
Two steps to break free from OTA dependency and build a direct booking engine that pays for itself.
OTAs strip real emails and phone numbers, making remarketing impossible. BeckonSites's WifiPass portal captures accurate guest contact data the moment they connect.


When a past guest wants to return, sending them through a platform costs you both money. Premium direct booking pages make skipping the OTA feel safe and luxurious.
By The Numbers
Trust & Safety
We built the safety layer we wished existed when we started hosting. Every guest is ID-verified, background-screened, and every stay is backed by real coverage โ funded by a small guest protection fee at checkout, not by you.
Join the waitlist โEvery guest is identity-verified before their stay is confirmed. Background screening against criminal records and eviction history.
Every direct booking includes a small guest-funded protection fee at checkout โ covering ID verification, background screening, and up to $1M in property damage. You pay nothing extra.
Bank-grade encryption on every transaction. Funds in escrow, released on check-in. Full fraud detection and chargeback protection.
The Honest Comparison
Side by side, the differences are impossible to ignore.
Our Story
Built by two Superhosts who also happen to code.
Why We Built This
โWe watched platforms take up to 20% out of every booking, including from guests we already knew by name. We're hosts who code, so we built the toolkit we wished existed.โ
The BeckonSites Team
Two Superhosts ยท Builders ยท Zero Booking Fee Believers
A guest who stayed three times still had to book through the platform. That's $150+ per stay in fees for a relationship we already built.
We couldn't even send a thank-you email after checkout. The platform owned the relationship with our own guests.
One search ranking tweak and our calendar went empty. We needed a direct channel we controlled, not a rented one.
