Vacation Rental Calendar / RentalBeam is an embeddable availability calendar for vacation rental websites. Hosts can sync Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, Google Calendar, or any iCal/ICS link, then display real-time availability on their own website—so visitors do not have to jump back to an OTA platform just to check dates.
Its core features are automatic iCal syncing and a website widget. The Free plan supports 1 calendar and 1 iCal source. Plus and Pro add aggregation of up to 10 sources per calendar, combined iCal export, sync health status indicators such as Healthy/Stale/Error, platform fetch logs, manual blocking for owner stays or maintenance dates, custom colors, dark mode, white-labeling, and up to 25 calendars. Multilingual support includes auto-detection and 11 languages such as EN, DE, FR, ES, and ZH, with a front end that adapts to both desktop and mobile. Pro further expands into direct booking forms, guest payments, promo codes, seasonal pricing, custom fields, booking rules, and email message flows.
The product uses a freemium model, and the Free plan is enough to get started. Paid Plus/Pro plans support monthly or annual billing, but the reviewed content does not disclose specific prices. Pro has two public versions: Standard and No application fee. The difference is whether RentalBeam charges an application fee on hosted card payments; standard Stripe card processing fees still apply. On privacy, the calendar widget only shows occupied dates and does not display guest names, email addresses, or contact details. However, no SOC, ISO, GDPR, or similar compliance certifications were found.
Its strengths are low deployment effort, compatibility with major OTAs and generic iCal feeds, the ability to merge availability across multiple channels and export it again, and sync monitoring that helps reduce the risk of calendar failures. Its drawbacks are that advanced capabilities are concentrated in Plus/Pro, pricing is not transparent, and there is no clear information on team permissions, an open API, or enterprise-grade security. Direct booking payments depend on Stripe, which may create barriers for hosts in some regions. It is a good fit for individual hosts, small guesthouses, and lightweight property managers, but less suitable for larger operators that need a full PMS, finance tools, housekeeping scheduling, and complex permission management.
Access from mainland China cannot be determined from the reviewed content, so its status is marked as unknown. On the payment side, if using Pro’s Stripe-hosted payments, China-based entities may need to further evaluate Stripe availability, foreign-currency settlement, and compliant payment collection. Alternatives to compare include Lodgify, Hostaway, OwnerRez, Guesty, Smoobu, or domestic Chinese guesthouse PMS and availability management systems.
