Why book direct
The same home — without the platform markup.
Booking directly on Shoreline Stays means you deal with the owner and skip the service fee the big travel platforms add at checkout. Here's exactly how that works — and what it saves you.
No platform service fee
The big travel sites add a guest service fee on top of the nightly rate at checkout. Book here and that fee is simply gone.
5% off every direct stay
The same 5% comes off every home, every stay. No codes to hunt for and nothing to claim — it's already in the price you see.
Secure, transparent checkout
Payments run through Stripe with a clear price breakdown. No hidden add-ons, no surprise fees at the end.
You're booking with the owner
No call center, no middleman. Message us directly for early check-in, local tips, or anything your stay needs.
A quick example
What booking direct saves you
A sample 5-night stay at $200/night. Your real total is always shown before you pay.
Direct on Shoreline Stays
- $200 × 5 nights
- $1,000
- Book-direct discount (5%)
- −$50
- Platform service fee
- $0
- Total
- $950
Booked on a platform, the same 5 nights start from the same $1,000 — then that platform's guest service fee is added at checkout, and there is no 5% discount. Here, the $50 comes off and the fee never appears.
