Vacation Rentals API
What is a vacation rental API?
A vacation rental API lets your product search and book whole-home stays, apartments, and villas using another company's supply relationships. It covers trips a hotel cannot: families, groups, and longer stays where a single room doesn't work.
The supply behind it
What you get access to
Coverage
Whole homes, apartments and villas. Resort weeks run through the full platform rather than this API.
Descriptions, capacity, amenities and imagery, served with availability.
Destinations worldwide, including the leisure markets members travel to rather than only business cities.
What you can do with it
Every row maps to a documented endpoint.
- 01
Location and resort autosuggest
Suggestions as the member types, covering both places and specific resorts.
- 02
Search
Available properties with details, images, amenities, and pricing filters.
- 03
Price and availability
Unit-level availability with full pricing, taxes, and fees, so there is no surprise at checkout.
- 04
Hold
A temporary hold locks the unit and the price while the member decides, which matters when a group is agreeing on a house.
- 05
Order and payment
A temporary order stores the property, unit, dates, and guests, then card payment with authorization status.
- 06
Booking and reservation details
The reservation is confirmed, and full details can be retrieved afterward.
The booking a hotel-only program loses
A family of five, a group weekend, a two-week stay. When a program offers only hotel rooms, those trips get booked somewhere else, and they are among the highest-value bookings a member makes. Whole-home supply is how you keep them.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a vacation rental API?
A vacation rental API lets your product search and book whole-home stays, apartments, and villas through another company's supply relationships, including content and availability.
How is this different from the hotels API?
Different supply, different API, same contract and connection. Hotels cover rooms and resorts; vacation rentals cover whole properties. Many clients run both, and how the two appear to members is a design decision on your side.
Can we offer vacation rentals on their own?
Yes. It runs independently of the other categories, on the same contract and connection. Many clients add it to a program that already has hotels, to cover the trips a room cannot.
Can we hold a property while a group decides?
Yes. A hold locks the unit and the price temporarily, which is the difference between a group booking that completes and one that falls apart while people check their calendars.
Where is the technical documentation?
The CTS Vacation Rentals Booking API documentation is published and available to your team.
