How we keep it straight

Checked before it goes up.

One price, published up front, for a term that ends on a date you already know. Here is what that buys and what it deliberately does not.

  1. Ownership is verified

    Ownership and identity are verified before a listing is published. If somebody cannot show they control the property, it does not go on the board.

  2. Placement is published, not auctioned

    Nothing here is pay-to-win. Tier decides placement, and tiers are published on the pricing page — there is no auction and no bidding.

  3. The rate is the owner’s, not ours

    The rate on a card is the owner's own indicative figure, shown as they entered it. What the stay finally costs is between the two of you.

  4. It ends on a date you already know

    Programs run a fixed 180 days and stop. Nothing renews on its own, and nothing bills again without you starting it.

For owners

List it once. Keep the lot.

You are buying advertising, not a booking service. Whatever you and your guest agree, you keep all of it.

What's different
  • No commission. You pay to advertise; we take no cut of what you earn.
  • You deal direct. Guests pay you, on your terms — we advertise, we don't sit in the middle.
  • Offers, not haggling. Every offer expires in 24 hours, so nothing sits unanswered.
  • Paid once. Harbor, Beacon or Lighthouse — priced for each week of time you advertise, across a 180-day term. No subscription, no renewal, no second bill.

From members

In their own words.

I had three weeks I was never going to use. The listing went up, and the first serious inquiry reached my inbox inside two weeks. I answered it myself, on my own terms.

I pay for the advertising and nothing else. No percentage comes off the top when somebody stays, which is the entire reason I moved my listing here.

The specialist call was twenty minutes and answered everything. What I appreciated most is that nobody sits between me and the person asking — I decide who stays and what it costs.

Questions

The short answers.

What does the managed advertising package for members involve?
If you own a vacation property, BlueBeacon advertises the time you don't use and passes interested-party offers directly to you. You remain in control—you decide whether to accept or decline an offer and communicate directly with the interested party. A BlueBeacon specialist will explain the package and process during a 20-minute call.
Are there hidden fees?
No hidden fees from BlueBeacon. The fees you pay BlueBeacon are for your advertising package and platform access. BlueBeacon does not add a fee to the price you arrange with an interested party. Any rates, cleaning fees, or other property-related charges should be clearly disclosed as part of the listing or arrangement.
Does BlueBeacon take my payment for the stay?
No. BlueBeacon does not collect or process payment for the stay between you and the interested party. BlueBeacon provides advertising and platform services. Once you accept an offer, you and the interested party handle the stay arrangements and any applicable payment directly.
