Who this template is for

Vacation Rental Agreement is built for small teams who need a reliable intake process who need to collect the same complete information from everyone.

  • Small teams who need a reliable intake process working in contracts & agreements.
  • Teams who need to collect the same complete information from everyone without writing code or paying for a custom build.
  • Anyone replacing chasing missing details over email with one structured record per enquiry.
  • Respondents are the people you send it to — the form asks them 24 questions across 3 screens.
  • Mobile-heavy audiences, thanks to the one-question-per-screen card layout.

Why this form is useful

It removes the cost of chasing missing details over email and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.

  • 21 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
  • It collects a verified email address so replies and confirmations land.
  • It captures a phone number for urgent follow-up.
  • It records a signature you can keep as proof of agreement.
  • It pins the request to a specific date.
  • It captures a full postal address.
  • It captures a numeric value you can filter and sort on.
  • Conditional logic hides 2 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.

  • All 2 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.

About this template

A promising inquiry is not yet an agreed vacation stay. This template turns the proposed booking into a record of the property, dates, occupants and charges that the host and lead guest can review together. It opens with the manager's identity and the guest's contact information, then places arrival and departure dates beside the occupancy limit. The property address and booking reference prevent confusion when a manager handles several homes with similar names. Pricing is broken into accommodation, cleaning, other fees and any refundable deposit, with currency and payment deadlines stated explicitly. Pet and additional-guest questions request details only when relevant. The final section records house rules, cancellation and refund arrangements, checkout expectations and the host's acceptance process. The signature acknowledges the specific terms entered, not an unspecified policy that might change after booking. Use this agreement after a Vacation Rental Booking Inquiry has established availability and suitability. Rental Guest Agreement can support a separate check-in acknowledgment without repeating the commercial booking process. This version is intended for individual vacation stays managed by hosts or small property teams. It is not a residential tenancy agreement, a booking-platform policy replacement or confirmation that local permits and occupancy requirements have been satisfied.
