YourOwnBnB was built out of frustration. After years of paying Airbnb and VRBO their 15-20% fees on every single booking — watching thousands of dollars walk out the door — we decided to build something better.
The idea was simple: give vacation rental owners their own fully automated booking system. One that works just like Airbnb — SMS alerts, guest ID verification, approve/deny control, Stripe payments — but without the platform taking a cut of every dollar you earn.
The system is built on modern, reliable technology: Vercel for hosting, MongoDB for your database, Twilio for SMS, Cloudinary for secure ID uploads, and Stripe for payments. All enterprise-grade tools. All with free tiers that work perfectly at the scale of a single property or a small portfolio.
You own everything. Your domain. Your brand. Your guest data. Your Stripe account. We just build it and hand you the keys.
