A fast, searchable dropdown of your rentals that you drop anywhere with a shortcode, so a guest can type a property name and jump straight to its page.
What it does #
Property Finder renders a searchable dropdown of your properties. A guest starts typing a rental name, the list filters live, and selecting a result takes them straight to that property’s page. It is a lightweight “go directly to the place I already have in mind” tool, ideal for headers, landing pages, and “find your rental” sections.
Unlike a full search experience, this is deliberately simple and quick. It is for guests who know (or half-know) which property they want and just need a fast path to it.
Key points:
- Placed anywhere with the
[hrck_property_finder]shortcode. - Filters the list as the guest types and navigates to the chosen property.
- Supports multiple instances on the same page, each working independently.
- Caches the property list for speed and refreshes automatically when you add or edit properties.
This tool does not capture email and does not require guest accounts. It is a navigation aid, not a CTA.

Tips #
- Put a Property Finder in your site header so returning guests can jump to a known rental from any page.
- Use the property tag attributes to build location-specific finders, for example one finder per destination page scoped with
city. - You can place several finders on one page (a different
cityon each) without them interfering with each other. - For a deeper, attribute-based discovery experience rather than name search, pair this with Vibe Profile.
