Lodgify Website Examples: 10 Real Direct Booking Sites

Here are ten live vacation rental websites built on Lodgify: The Shippen, Cacao Boutique Hotel, Vacation Tenby, Charme Holidays, Tailwaters Lodge, Rental12, Chalets Hygge, Les Villas Emmanuel, Inaterra Homes and Coast & Country. They range from a single barn conversion in Shropshire to multi-property portfolios in Sardinia and New Zealand. All ten use Lodgify's templates, and they show how much a site's look depends on the owner's photos, headline and page title rather than the platform. We checked each site on October 13, 2026. Our notes below cover only what's visible on each homepage.

Independent publication. Direct Booking Academy is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or an official resource of Lodgify. These sites aren't endorsements, and no owner paid to be included. We haven't seen any site's traffic or booking data, so we make no claims about how well any of them perform.

This guide is part of our Lodgify Academy, an independent collection of guides (not an official Lodgify resource).

How we confirmed these sites run on Lodgify

• Asset check: each homepage loads files from Lodgify's own servers (api.lodgify.com / app.lodgify.com).
• Footer: nine of the ten show a "Powered by" link to lodgify.com in the footer. Coast & Country doesn't.
• Showcase: all ten appear in Lodgify's own roundup, 15 Beautiful Vacation Rental Websites Built Using Lodgify (Sept 16, 2026), which also names the template each one uses.

Lodgify's help center also says that checkout on Lodgify sites runs on checkout.lodgify.com (Lodgify Help: Link an existing domain). That's a useful check if you want to confirm another site.

The 10 examples

Single-property sites

1. The Shippen (template: Livingstone 2.0, per Lodgify) The page title, "Contemporary Barn Conversion Holiday Let near Bishop's Castle, Shropshire," says what the property is and where it is. The homepage headline is "Timeless beauty in the heart of Shropshire."

2. Cacao Boutique Hotel (Livingstone 2.0) A boutique hotel in Antigua, Guatemala. The page title is "Luxury & Charm in Antigua, Guatemala." Lodgify's showcase notes that the site also presents the hotel as a wedding venue.

3. Vacation Tenby (Capucine) Self-catering stays near Tenby, Pembrokeshire. The homepage headline is a direct call to action: "Book Now!" The browser page title is just "Home," so the site isn't using its title for search (see our tip below).

Multi-property sites

4. Charme Holidays (Livingstone Two) The headline "Your Holiday Home In Italy And Croatia" covers a two-country portfolio in a single line.

5. Tailwaters Lodge (Livingstone 2.0) The page title is "Fly Fishing Lodge in Tennessee" on the South Holston. Lodgify's own help center points to this site as a sample of an area guide (Lodgify Help: Getting started).

6. Rental12 (Mediterranean Retreat) The headline "Owner-operated holiday apartments and villas in Olbia and Golfo Aranci" names both locations, and the page title includes a "4.9★" rating. Lodgify's showcase says the site has individual pages for its listings, an FAQ, local driving content and a blog.

Direct Booking Academy's publisher also operates BNB Boost.

Photos do most of the work on every site here. If yours need attention, BNB Boost works on vacation rental photo presentation.

7. Chalets Hygge (Tideway) Chalets and cottages in Mont Orford, Quebec. The headline, "Slow Down. Find Your (re)connection at Chalets Hygge," leads with a feeling rather than a feature.

8. Les Villas Emmanuel (Tideway) A French-language site. The headline packs in the location (La Réunion, seaside), the standard (4- and 5-star villas) and the key amenity (private pool or jacuzzi).

9. Inaterra Homes (Livingstone 2.0) The homepage headline is "CHOOSE YOUR HOME," which pushes visitors straight into the portfolio. Lodgify's showcase describes the homes as eco-friendly residences in Panama.

10. Coast & Country (Tideway) The page title is "Waiheke Island Holiday Home Rentals." It's the only site here without visible "Powered by" footer text.

Patterns worth borrowing

• Put place and property type in the page title. The Shippen, Tailwaters Lodge and Coast & Country do this. Vacation Tenby's title is just "Home." You can set an SEO title and description for each page under Website builder → Pages → ⋯ → Page settings → SEO (Lodgify Help: SEO).
• Make the headline do one job. It can sell a feeling (Chalets Hygge), name the portfolio (Charme Holidays) or ask for the booking (Vacation Tenby).
• Size the hero image for the template. Lodgify recommends .jpg hero images in a 21:9 ratio (for example 2560×1080) and 1920×1280 for rental gallery photos. Images in other ratios are centered and cropped (Lodgify Help: Picture guide). More in our Lodgify photo guide.
• Change the template, not the platform. Lodgify's own roundup shows the same few templates (Livingstone 2.0, Tideway) producing very different sites. You choose a template under Website Builder → Styles (Lodgify Help: Getting started).

What you need to build one (as of Oct 2026)

Lodgify's website builder starts on the Starter plan. Lodgify's pricing page lists Starter at $26/month (USD, one property, billed yearly), and the Basic plan doesn't include a website. Yearly and bi-yearly plans include a free domain, and there's a 7-day free trial (Lodgify pricing). Prices change by property count and currency, so check the pricing page yourself.
