Boostt Academy · Vacation Rentals

Build your own
vacation rental marketplace.

You already know how to manage properties. Boostt gives you the infrastructure to operate your own marketplace — listings, payments, messaging, agent support — without building a platform from scratch.

Your route. Your guests. Your revenue.

Your stays live at /stays/@you.

Every property you list appears on the map under your handle. /stays/@jane is Jane’s vacation rental marketplace. Not a listing on someone else’s platform — your own route, your own pins, your own brand.

Discovery by proximity, not by algorithm.

A traveler pans to your region. Your pins appear. They click. Your property details open — gallery, amenities, location, price. No algorithm decided whether to show you. The map is neutral. Density is real.
