Casa Oliva
📍 12 Olive Grove Lane, Charleston, SCWe're so glad you're here. Everything for a great stay is one tap away.
A real guide: tap around. Same content, six layouts. Switch any time
Everything a guest asks, answered before they ask.
A Tabellara guidebook is the whole stay in one place: the house, the rules, the area, the goodbye.
Arrival and access
Directions, parking, the door code and check-in time, shown when the guest needs them and nowhere else.
WiFi, tap to join
The network name and password with a tap-to-join code, so nobody types a 16-character password off the fridge.
The house manual
Appliance by appliance: the hot tub, the fireplace, the TV remote, the thermostat, the trash day. Photos and video on any card.
House rules that read kindly
Quiet hours, occupancy, pets and parties, written as a welcome rather than a warning, and acknowledged on the guest's stay link.
Your favorite places, mapped
Restaurants, coffee, hikes and rainy-day plans, each with a photo and a pin on one map with directions a tap away.
Checkout, five tasks
The short list that protects your turnover without handing guests a chore sheet, with the checkout time and where the keys go.
A complete guidebook, written by AI in about a minute.
Connect your Airbnb or OwnerRez and click once. Tabellara reads your listing, the house manual, the WiFi, the check-in details and your photos, and writes a warm, guest-ready guidebook with your amenity photos on the right pages. Then it researches your area and maps the top local restaurants and things to do. You review, tweak, publish.
Already wrote a welcome book? Bring it with you.
Upload the house manual you already have, a PDF, a Word file or pasted text, and Tabellara rebuilds it into an organized guidebook: your words, your recommendations, your rules, restructured into tappable sections in about a minute. Using another guidebook tool? Paste its guest link and start from that, nothing retyped.
See exactly what guests will see.
Build sections and cards with photos, addresses and buttons beside a live phone preview that updates with every keystroke. A desktop preview shows the wide layout. Every new property starts from a complete guidebook, so you edit instead of staring at a blank page.
Open it like a guest.
This is the finished vacation rental guidebook in a guest's hand: cover, tap-to-jump sections, the house manual, every recommendation on one map, live weather. No app, no login, just a link. A QR code on the counter opens the same page.
Six layouts, one link.
App, Card, Editorial, Field Guide, Noir and Retreat: the same guidebook, six personalities, from splash covers to a moody after-dark serif. Switch any time; your content never moves.
The Driftwood
📍 12 Shorebreak Avenue, Folly Beach, SCThree blocks to the sand. Boards in the garage.
Timberline Cabin
Basecamp for the Blue Ridge. Trails start at the back gate.
The Velvet Hour
808 Rue Dauphine, New Orleans, LA ↗An upstairs hideaway in the Quarter. Pour something.
Change the whole look in one click.
In the editor, each layout is a single click and the live phone preview restyles instantly: same sections, same photos, a different personality. Fifteen themes, custom colors, ten title typefaces and your own logo on the cover. Nothing to migrate, nothing to redo.
A video on any card.
Paste a YouTube or Vimeo link on any card: the walkthrough of the house, how the fireplace lights, which lever drains the hot tub. Guests see a thumbnail with a play button and the video plays right there. Nothing loads until they tap, so the guidebook stays fast.
Book direct, right from the guidebook.
Quick links put your priorities on the home screen: visit your website, book direct next time, email us, buy early check-in, or anything you add, each with its own icon and wording. Taps are counted, so you know which buttons earn their place.
Every guidebook speaks 25 languages.
Guests are offered their language on arrival and switch in one tap. Door codes and WiFi passwords stay exactly as you wrote them, and translations quietly update when you edit.
A link with your guest's name on it.
Connect a guidebook to its listing and every reservation gets its own stay link: it greets the guest by name, shows their dates and party, and expires after the stay. Airbnb's scheduled messages and OwnerRez templates send it automatically, forever, after a one-time setup.
Analytics no other guidebook offers.
Every open is measured per page: did guests read the hot tub instructions, find your restaurant list, tap your booking link? See the most-read pages and the QR codes guests scan, per property or across the whole portfolio, by week, month or all time.
Your next property, in minutes.
Start a new property from a guidebook you already love, copy sections between guidebooks, and mark any guidebook as a template whose sections stay linked: edit the house rules once and every property updates, while each keeps its own arrival details and WiFi.
The guidebook is one of three. They share a link.
Tabellara TV
A welcome by name on the living-room screen, the WiFi and guidebook codes right there, every app signed out at checkout. $6 a property, up to three TVs.
Tabellara WiFi
Your guest WiFi becomes a branded sign-in page that lands guests in the guidebook and leaves you every guest's email. $6 per network.
A store inside your guidebook
Sell early check-in, late checkout and extras. Guests pay your own Stripe account directly; you approve on your terms. Included.
Earn 4% on tours
Viator experiences near the house, in the guidebook and on the TV, with 4% of every booking paid to you.
What hosts ask before they switch.
What is a digital guidebook for an Airbnb?
A digital guidebook is the welcome book as a web link instead of a binder: the WiFi, check-in and door codes, the house manual, house rules, checkout and your local recommendations, opened on the guest's phone. Guests get it before they arrive, and when something changes you edit once and every guest sees it.
How is this different from the guidebook built into Airbnb?
Airbnb's guidebook is a list of places. A Tabellara guidebook covers the whole stay, the house included, works for guests from every booking channel, carries your brand instead of Airbnb's, and tells you which pages guests actually open.
Do I have to write the guidebook myself?
No. Connect your Airbnb or OwnerRez listing, or paste the listing link, and the AI writes every section from your listing's own words and photos in about a minute, then researches nearby restaurants and things to do. You read it beside a live phone preview and change what you like.
Can I bring in the guidebook or welcome book I already have?
Yes. Upload the PDF or Word file and it becomes the starting point, the same sections and wording, now as a link that updates itself. Using another guidebook tool? Paste its guest link and Tabellara rebuilds from that, nothing retyped.
Do guests need to download an app?
No. Guests open a normal web link on any phone, nothing to install and no account. A QR code in the house opens the same guidebook, and a printable PDF is one click away for the guests who like paper.
Does it work for vacation rentals outside Airbnb?
Yes. The guidebook is yours, not the platform's. It works the same for Vrbo, Booking.com and direct bookings, and connects to OwnerRez and Hospitable for reservation-aware links that greet each guest by name.
What does a digital guidebook cost?
Building and previewing is free. Publishing is a flat $6 per guidebook per month, or $54 a year with three months free, every feature included at any portfolio size. Your first guidebook is free for 30 days, no card required.
