Dimanche Palm Springs: direct booking and the systems behind a vacation rental
From 2020 to 2025 we set up the whole digital side of Dimanche, a renovated retro home in Palm Springs with a heated saltwater pool and spa: a direct booking site, smart pricing, automated guest messaging and one calendar across Airbnb, VRBO, HomeAway and Booking.com.
The brief
Five ways to book, one system
Dimanche takes bookings on its own site and on Airbnb, VRBO, HomeAway and Booking.com. Kept by hand, five channels drift apart: a night sold twice, a rate left too low, a guest waiting on an answer.
We set up the systems that keep them in step, so pricing, guest messages and calendars run on their own.
What we did
The digital architecture
- Direct booking
A site guests can book on
The Dimanche site shows the home, the amenities and the house rules, with a booking box that checks dates and takes the reservation directly.
- Pricing
Smart pricing with Wheelhouse
Nightly rates follow demand and the season instead of sitting at one number.
- Messaging
Automated guest messages with iGMS
Messages to guests go out on schedule through iGMS, from booking to checkout.
- Channels
One calendar everywhere
Airbnb, VRBO, HomeAway and Booking.com stay in sync with the direct site, so every channel shows the same open nights.
- Architecture
Set up end to end by AONE
The domain, the site and its hosting, the booking engine, pricing, messaging and the channel connections.

What it taught us
Automate the work that repeats
Pricing, guest messages and calendars are the same tasks every stay. Putting them on systems means nobody updates five channels by hand. It is the same thinking behind the AI automation we build for clients now.
