Direct booking software
for Rhode Island rentals.

For independent Rhode Island hosts, the best direct booking software is the one that gives you a commission-free booking website without per-listing pricing or enterprise complexity. DirectBookings provides a branded booking site, Stripe payments, hourly calendar sync with Airbnb and VRBO, and pre-signed guest agreements for a flat $9/month — purpose-built for hosts in markets like Newport, Block Island, Narragansett who want to keep 100% of their nightly rate.

DirectBookings costs a flat $9/month for one property, $29/month for up to five, and $79/month for up to ten — the same in Rhode Island as anywhere. There is no booking commission; you pay only Stripe's standard 2.9% + 30¢ processing, which goes to Stripe. That's typically far cheaper than per-listing property management software, especially for Rhode Island hosts with one to a handful of properties.
