From Excel to 38 direct bookings per month — Cabo Rentals
A vacation rental tripled its direct bookings in 6 weeks. We replaced spreadsheets with a custom booking system, Stripe payments, and real SEO. The numbers prove it.

The problem you already know
Twelve direct bookings per month. Everything else going through OTAs taking 20% off the top. All managed in Excel — dates, payments, blocks. Double bookings were just a matter of time. The site loaded in 8 seconds. On Google, page 3.
If you run a vacation rental, you know exactly what this feels like.
What we built in 6 weeks
A complete system that works for the owner around the clock:
- Real-time calendar with automatic date blocking — double bookings eliminated
- Stripe payments and deposits — guests pay online, the owner gets paid directly
- Admin dashboard for rates, seasons, and availability — no need to call us for every change
- Technical SEO from scratch: 0.9 s load time, clean structure, content optimized for real search queries
Not a template. A platform built specifically for this business.
The numbers three months later
12 → 38 direct bookings per month. No OTA commission. No calls to confirm availability. The system runs itself.
The site ranks in the Top 3 on Google for its main search terms. Loads in under a second on any device.
If your business still depends on spreadsheets or platforms that charge you a cut on every booking, this is exactly what we can do for you.
