Help your vacation rental guests create the perfect holiday with a customized area guide that doubles as a pre-arrival trip planner and handbook they’ll use during their stay. What they see, do and discover determines how they’ll remember their trip.
Tap your local experience to lead guests to the best your area has to offer and give them a genuine taste of local life. Don’t let them waste time on Yelp and Google.
Yes, your job is to help your guests find their ideal vacation rental property. But what your guests see, do and discover — the hidden beach, that spectacular hike, the best lobster ever — determines how they’ll remember their trip.
Our search algorithm scours the internet for your area’s top-rated restaurants, things to do and essential services. Recommendations upload in seconds and update automatically, so no worries when hours change or a business closes.
Keep what you like, drop what you don’t, and add anything we missed. Include as many places as you like. Arrange your selections with our drag-and-drop feature. Add comments and tips to personalize your recommendations.
Our algorithms use information licensed from Google, but you’re not limited to that. Feel free to add freeform text with a title, address, URL, photos, videos and and PDFs.
Show your company’s colors and logo with pride whenever guests consult the guide. Your logo and colors make the guide yours alone, remind guests of the services you provide and burnish the professionalism of your vacation rental business.
Share tips only a local knows, like where you’ll see the mayor sipping coffee most mornings or which days the bakery makes their famous chocolate chip muffins.
Each recommendation includes hours, Google reviews, websites, phones, addresses, maps and directions. Automatic updates mean you don’t need to do anything when hours change or a business closes.
The local area guide is an invaluable trip-planning resource. Use Text Automation to send the guide automatically by text or email on the date you choose.
Distances from the vacation rental home to everything in the area guide are calculated and mapped automatically so guests can decide whether to walk, bike or drive.
Tagging helps you send automated messages with location-specific area guide links to guests.
The guides work equally well on a mobile device and a desktop computer. No installation or app is required to use the guide.
Guests can bookmark recommendations they like and create a shortlist of activities for their trip.
QR codes for area guides makes it easy for friends or relatives of the primary guest to access information found in these helpful, customized guides. Display the codes where guests will see them — on a refrigerator or kitchen counter.
Some guests prefer to consult a paper guide. Our print feature lets you create paper copies with all the information found in the electronic guide. Printed copies can also be helpful for properties with a weak internet signal.

People want that local experience when they come here. Our RueBaRue guides help us provide that.

The area guide provides all the information guests need to know about the area for a great vacation, including restaurants, attractions, experiences and essential services like the nearest grocery store and pharmacy.

We license Google Places data to help you create the area guides. Google Places includes the name, address, map, photos, hours of operations and Google reviews for each listing. We keep this information up-to-date, so if a business closes, we automatically remove it from your guide.
We recommend creating one area guide for each area where you have properties. You can create multiple area guides if you have properties across multiple areas.
In addition to information from Google Places, you can write your own copy and include events, photos, videos and PDFs.
We provide a unique link for each guide. You can share links automatically by text or email on the date and time you choose.
