Vacation rental discovery powered by location-aware mapping for portals and OTAs.
What does Holiday Stays do?
Holiday Stays is a vacation rental discovery experience built on MapAtlas mapping infrastructure. It renders an interactive map with stay markers, smart clustering, image carousels, and instant filtering, plus a structured GeoJSON feed your booking engine can consume directly.
Is Holiday Stays an Airbnb API alternative?
Holiday Stays is not a wrapper around any third-party listing platform. You bring your own inventory data and Holiday Stays handles the discovery layer: map rendering, marker performance at scale, location-aware ranking, and the visual UX that converts browsers into bookings.
Can Holiday Stays handle thousands of properties on a single map?
Yes. The renderer uses tiled marker layers and dynamic clustering so you can ship a global inventory without performance degradation. The map stays interactive at any zoom level and individual stays only render when the user is close enough to act on them.
How are images optimised for mobile users?
Stay images are pre-resized and served via CDN with WebP delivery. The on-card carousel lazy-loads each subsequent image so the initial map view stays under the typical 200KB-per-card budget even on 3G networks.
Does Holiday Stays support custom branding?
Yes. Map style, marker design, popup typography, and accent colours are all themable. The component ships with a sensible default but every visible surface can be overridden in your portal's design system.
What data format does Holiday Stays accept?
Holiday Stays ingests a GeoJSON FeatureCollection where each Feature carries the stay metadata in `properties` (name, type, price, rating, features, images). This makes it straightforward to plug in any inventory backend that can emit GeoJSON or be transformed into it.
Can guests filter by amenities?
Yes. Filters are derived from the `properties.features` array on each stay, so adding a new amenity is a data change, not a code change. Common defaults like pool, sea view, dog friendly, and family suite are pre-styled.
Is Holiday Stays GDPR compliant?
Yes. Map tiles, geocoding, and search all run on EU infrastructure. No end-user PII is required to render the map, and a Data Processing Addendum is available for portals that handle bookings.
