Limiting Check-in blocks all other days as available

[Meg129]

For our rental in the summer, we have a 7 day minimum time period with check in and out only on Saturdays. I was able to set the minimum stay but when I go into Availability>check-in and checkout and edit it to not allow check in on any day but Saturday, it makes my whole calendar look like it is booked except for Saturdays?

That is the way it works.It shows possible check-in days only, which is a saterday. I looked at your listing, you probably removed the option to only check-in/out on Saturday in summer. BTW the listing says discount for a month or more, but there is no monthly discount set. So it means the listing will not even show up in searches for such renting periods, which is mentioned here:

Thanks, Emiel. I did figure out that I had to remove the "only Saturday" check in option to show all the available dates again. What I ended up doing is, in the main description of the house, I put in a couple lines about summer check-in/out days.

I also appreciate your info about monthly rentals. We actually don't do much of that so I don't mind that it doesn't show up under a search for that catagory.

I appreciate your help!
