Short Term Rental website example: Lark & Locke Stays

Sample site built by our AI, not a customer site. Lark & Locke Stays is a made-up business; our AI wrote every section, from the headline to the 4-question FAQ. Lark and Locke Stays operates nine designed short term rentals in Savannah, with self check in, mid stay housekeeping and direct booking rates.

What makes this short term rental website work

The first line answers "why you"

The first thing a visitor reads is "Book direct and skip the platform fee", with "Nine homes in Savannah" set above it as a small label. The line underneath does the explaining: "Nine walkable homes across the Historic District and Starland. Same houses you see on the big sites, priced lower here because we are not paying a booking commission." Two buttons follow, "Book direct" for people ready to act and "See all homes" for people who want to look around first. The layout is a split hero, copy on one side and footage on the other, using looping stock footage instead of a static photo.

Proof sits right under the fold

Directly below the hero, a strip of 4 short facts does the job most short term rental sites leave to vague words like "trusted" or "experienced": 7 yrs (operating in Savannah), 9 (homes in the portfolio), 4.91 (average rating) and 12% (saved booking direct). Each one is something a customer can check or hold the business to.

Prices on the page, not "call for a quote"

The "Studios to four bedroom carriage houses" section lists 5 our homes: Studio and one bedroom (From $149/night), Two bedroom townhouse (From $239/night), Four bedroom carriage house (From $449/night), Extended stay (25% off 28+ nights) and Mid stay housekeeping ($95 per visit). Prices run from $95 to $449, so a visitor can tell in seconds whether it fits the budget. A one-line note sets the terms: "All rates include linens, consumables, fast internet and self check in." Each item gets a sentence of its own, for example "Walkable Historic District units for couples, sleeping two with a full kitchenette."

It explains who is behind it

Under the heading "Two operators, nine houses, no call center", the about section says: "Lark and Locke is run by Nora and Ben Ashcroft, who live four blocks from most of these houses. We design each property ourselves, use the same local cleaning crew every turnover, and answer guest messages personally." It then lists 3 concrete points instead of a paragraph of values: all properties registered with the City of Savannah short term rental program, same cleaning crew on every home, with a photo checklist per turnover and direct booking rate is always lower than the platform rate.

Reviews name the detail

There are 3 reviews, each signed with a name and a context (Alicia M., Three night stay, Starland; Devin O., Extended stay, Historic District; Hannah W., Carriage house, Ardsley Park). None of them says "great service". They mention a specific moment, like "Ben texted back within minutes when we could not find the parking pad. Sorted in two messages."

The FAQ handles objections

The FAQ covers 4 questions: "Why book direct instead of a platform?", "What is the check in process?", "Do you allow pets?" and "What if something breaks during my stay?". The answers are direct. The first one reads: "Platforms add a guest service fee, usually around twelve percent. Booking here removes it, so the same house costs less."

The last step is obvious

The page closes on "Ask us anything". It sets expectations before anyone gets in touch: "Tell us your dates and group size and we will recommend which of the nine homes fits and confirm the direct rate." Hours are written out (Guest support 7am to 11pm daily, emergency line 24 hours) and so is the area covered (Historic District, Starland, Ardsley Park, Thomas Square). The phone number also sits in the header on every scroll position, so nobody has to hunt for it.

The design stays out of the way

The palette is three colors: a #f5f6f8 background, #111827 text and one accent (#1d4ed8) used only for buttons and labels. Headings are set in a sans-serif face and buttons have 6px rounded corners. The menu has 6 items (Services, Pricing, About, Reviews, FAQ and Contact), all on one page, so it scrolls instead of making people click through.
