In short
Brisa Cumuru is the website of a two suite vacation house on top of the cliffs between Cumuruxatiba and Prado, in Bahia, built by André Gomes at NexiaLabs. Visitors pick dates, the site checks availability in the database and opens the host's WhatsApp with the period already written. Behind it is a PHP and MySQL panel with bookings, guests, finances and calendar sync with Airbnb.
The client
The house sits on the cliffs, with trail access to a quiet beach and close to Barra do Cahy, on the Discovery Route. It has two air conditioned suites, a full kitchen, an outdoor shower and hosts up to six people. The host, Mariana Pompeu, also lists it on Airbnb. She needed her own address to promote the house and take direct bookings.
The challenge
Guests want to know right away whether a date is free, without waiting for a reply. The house can be rented whole or in parts, so the lookup had to understand that booking one suite affects the whole house. Airbnb bookings had to block the same dates on the site. And the host needed a single place to see bookings, guests and income.
What was built
The home page has a date picker at the top that queries a PHP API and answers instantly whether the whole house is free, or only part of it. When there is room, the Book Now button opens WhatsApp with the period already written. The site presents the house, the photo gallery and the region. The host's panel brings together bookings, details of each stay, guests, finances, reports, photos, site customization and an audit log, and imports the Airbnb calendar through iCal.
What the system does
- Date picker at the top of the page with an instant availability answer.
- Lookup that tells apart the whole house being free from only part of it.
- Button that opens the host's WhatsApp with the chosen dates.
- Photo gallery and a section on the Discovery Route.
- Panel with bookings, stay details, guests and reports.
- Booking finances inside the panel.
- Airbnb calendar sync through iCal and an own feed for export.
- Audit log and backup available from the panel.
// For whoever reviews the code: architecture and decisions.
Under the hood
The site is framework free PHP with PDO and MySQL, published on Hostinger shared hosting. The public page uses Flatpickr for date picking and sends the lookup as JSON to a PHP endpoint, which checks for overlapping non cancelled bookings per unit. The whole house and the suites are separate units in the database, and the lookup tests the full set first before offering parts. The admin panel lives in its own folder with a session, and a set of endpoints imports and exports iCal calendars.
Technical decisions
- Availability answer right at the top of the page, because it is the first question anyone looking for a rental asks.
- Close the booking over WhatsApp with dates filled in, instead of online payment.
- Model the whole house and suites as linked units, so a partial booking never frees the whole house.
