New · for rental owners in the Marina Alta

Your holiday home deserves its own website

Booking.com charges 15 to 18% commission on every reservation. Your own site — with professional photography, a floor plan and a direct enquiry button — usually pays for itself within a single season.

From € 1,495 · photo shoot included · three languages · excl. IVA

Rental revenue per season€ 20,000

Percentages based on published 2026 rates; the exact figure depends on property type and location. The calculation is an example, not a promise.

The difference

With a floor plan — measured by me

This is what almost no website builder includes. A floor plan has to be measured on site. I have been measuring properties for estate agents since 2009, and since 2022 here in the Marina Alta. With me it is simply part of the package, at no extra cost.

For a holiday rental that is not a nice extra. It is exactly what your guest wants to know before booking.

  • Your guest sees at a glance how the house is laid out
  • Are the children's rooms together? Is there a bathroom downstairs? Those emails stop arriving
  • No surprise on arrival, and so no review saying it was smaller than expected
  • The plot layout shows the pool, the garden and the terraces in their real proportions

The content

The pages your site will have

The structure that works for almost every holiday rental. Need more — a separate page per apartment, for instance — and we adapt it.

HomeThe first impression: your best photograph, one sentence on why your house is special, and the enquiry button right there.
The propertyLayout, bedrooms, bathrooms and the floor plan. This is what your guest wants to see first.
Floor plan and plot layoutOn the property page, so guests see the layout and the plot at a glance. Almost no other website builder includes this — with me it is in both packages, at no extra cost.
FacilitiesPool, garden, air conditioning, wifi, washing machine, cot. These are exactly the details people search on.
AvailabilityA calendar of free and booked periods, so nobody enquires about a week that is already taken.
Book and payOnly with the BOOKINGS package. Your guest picks their dates, sees the price and pays the deposit right away. You get the confirmation in your inbox and the week is settled.
RatesLow, mid and high season, deposit and cleaning costs. Being clear up front saves you half your emails.
The areaBeaches, villages, restaurants, walking and cycling routes. This is also the page that gets you found on search terms the big platforms ignore.
Contact and enquiryForm, WhatsApp and directions. The enquiry reaches you directly, not a platform.

Plus the legally required pages — included in every package.

In detail

What is actually included

Not a list of features, but what they do for you — so you know in advance where your money goes.

In PRESENTATION

2D floor plan, clean and uncluttered

Measured on site, by me. Without dimension lines or floor areas — your guest is not going to measure anything, they want to see how the house fits together. It reads more calmly that way. Want the measurements shown? I will add them; just say so beforehand.

Full website with your copy

I write the copy, you review it and change whatever you want differently. You do not get an empty template to spend weeks filling in yourself.

Professional photo shoot on location

A photographer visits and delivers twenty to twenty-five edited photographs. This is the part that actually rents your property, because guests book on images.

Aerial photography by drone

Shows what cannot be photographed from the ground: the setting, the view, the garden as a whole and how close you are to the sea.

Three languages of your choice

Dutch, English, German or Spanish — you choose which three. Written, not run through a translation engine, because a guest sees straight through that.

Availability calendar

Free and booked periods at a glance. It saves you enquiries for weeks that were taken long ago.

Enquiry form, WhatsApp and Google Maps

The enquiry lands straight in your inbox. With WhatsApp alongside, because that is what most guests prefer to answer on.

What BOOKINGS adds on top

Drone video of up to one minute

A short film running at the top of your home page. This is the visible difference between your site and the one next door.

Online booking with payment and confirmation

Your guest books and pays the deposit immediately. No more chasing confirmations: the booking is fixed the moment they press send.

Shared calendar with Airbnb, Booking and VRBO

One calendar for all your channels. If someone books through Booking, that week closes on your own site too. That is how you avoid double bookings.

Google Business Profile and SEO setup

So you are found when someone searches for your house by name, and for the area you are in. What it will not do, you can read further down this page.

Up to two holiday properties included

If you have two apartments, or a casita as well, each gets its own page with its own photographs, floor plan and calendar.

In every package

The dull bits are handled too

A Spanish website is legally required to state a number of things. That is included as standard — not billed afterwards as extra work.

Legal notice and privacy policy

Compulsory for every Spanish website, drafted in Spanish.

Cookie notice

Set up correctly, without forcing your visitor to click through a wall.

Registration number shown

If you have an NRU, that number and the location appear on the site. It is compulsory in every advertisement.

Fast on a phone

Most guests look on their phone. The site is built for that first, not adapted to it afterwards.

Afterwards

Maintenance and support

The site stays yours. The monthly fee keeps it running — you are not tied to a platform that switches your site off the day you cancel.

Service

€ 49
per month, or € 490 per year in advance

Someone who answers when something comes up. One content change a month — new rates, different photographs, an extra period. And your site simply keeps running: hosting, domain, SSL, updates and backups are covered.

Direct Booking

€ 89
per month, or € 890 per year in advance

Everything in Service, plus the shared calendar with Airbnb, Booking and VRBO — subscription included and managed through me.

Minimum term twelve months. Paying a year in advance means you pay for ten months instead of twelve.

Extras

What can be added

Stated up front, so there are no surprises afterwards. A larger property means more rooms, more photographs, more copy and more measuring.

ItemAdditional
Each language beyond the three€ 150
Floor area 150 – 250 m²+ € 200
Floor area 250 – 400 m², or several storeys and outbuildings+ € 450

Third and further property on the same site (BOOKINGS)€ 350

Frequently asked

One more thing

What counts as one holiday property?

Any unit you rent out separately. If you have an upper and a lower apartment, that is two: each with its own photographs, its own floor plan and its own availability calendar, because they can be booked independently. Up to two are included in BOOKINGS. A third or fourth costs € 350 each.

Can I upgrade from PRESENTATION to BOOKINGS later?

Yes. You pay the difference plus whatever additional work applies at that moment. Many owners start with PRESENTATION and add online booking once they see how many direct enquiries come in.

I already have photographs. Does that reduce the price?

Yes, and it can save you money. If you have a recent shoot by a professional photographer, send it with your enquiry. If the photographs are good enough, I take the shoot out of the price. If they are too dark, crooked or cluttered, I will say so honestly — poor photographs cost you bookings, and every site I build is my own calling card.

How long before my site is live?

Allow three to four weeks after the visit. We schedule that visit for a day when the property is empty and tidy, and that is usually what sets the pace — in July and August your house is simply full.

What happens if I stop the monthly service?

You keep everything. The domain is in your name, the site is yours and you can take it to whoever you like. You only need to arrange hosting yourself, because that is the service you were paying for. The minimum term is twelve months.

Do I have to maintain the availability calendar myself?

With PRESENTATION, yes: you tell me which periods are taken and I update them, or you do it yourself if you prefer. With BOOKINGS, no: your calendar runs in step with Airbnb, Booking and VRBO, so a booking there closes that week on your own site too.

How it works

From first call to live

1

First conversation

We call or meet. I look up your property in the land registry and give you a fixed price straight away — no estimate revised later.

2

One visit

The photographer and I come on a single day. The property needs to be empty and tidy. Photographs, drone and measuring in one go.

3

Building

You see the site before it goes live, with the copy in every language. Two rounds of changes are included.

4

Live

Domain, SSL and Google are set up. Everything in your name — if you ever stop, you keep it all.

Important

Everything is in your name

Your domain, your Google profile, your statistics, your booking data. I am the administrator, not the owner. If you stop the service, the site remains yours and you can take it to whoever you like. That sounds obvious, but with most subscription providers your site disappears the day you cancel.

Honestly

What a website will not do

Your property will not reach the top of Google for “villa rental Moraira”. Booking and Airbnb sit there, with marketing budgets no single property can match. Anyone who promises you otherwise is selling something they cannot deliver.

What your own site does do: the guest who already knows your house — from an advertisement, a recommendation, or last year — searches for your name and books directly with you. That saves you the commission, and you get your guest's email address instead of the platform.

Example

Our own finca

Finca Vellie in Benissa is ours. Two apartments, sea view, swimming pool — and a website I built myself, in three languages, with floor plans of both apartments and an availability calendar. Enquiries arrive directly by email and WhatsApp. No commission.

Shall we talk?

A conversation costs you nothing and commits you to nothing. Tell me about your property and I will tell you honestly whether this is worth it for you.
