I use our penthouse in Sint Maarten (#1476064) quite a few weeks per year, as do our children and grandchildren. How do I enter the weeks that need to be blocked without generating an Airbnb charge to me or my familly? I don't want to show it as open then tell folks that it isn't available after they have sent a request to me nor do I want to pay a fee to Airbnb when I am using it.
@Brian113, you can block dates manually. I do it often. Just go to your calendar, click on the dates you want to block, then hit 'Block' and then 'Save'. The days should then be grayed out.
I block dates from my calendar whenever I will be away or have family/friends staying. You can chose when you want guests staying or not. There is no penalty for blocking your calendar.
