## How to find, price and book a stay

1. **Search the whole portfolio** (server-rendered HTML, no JavaScript needed):
   `https://www.bethanybeachvacationhomes.com/theme/bethanybeach?checkin=YYYY-MM-DD&checkout=YYYY-MM-DD&num_guests=N`
   - With dates, the results are the stays available for those dates, with their nightly price, 20 per page. Each page states its position and links to the next one (page=N).
   - `cities`: one of Bethany Beach (exact spelling; separate several with commas). An unknown value is ignored and returns the whole portfolio.
   - `bedrooms`, `beds`, `bath`: minimum counts.
   - Example: https://www.bethanybeachvacationhomes.com/theme/bethanybeach?checkin=2026-11-27&checkout=2026-11-30&num_guests=2&cities=Bethany+Beach
2. **Exact quote for one stay**: `https://www.bethanybeachvacationhomes.com/property/{property_id}?checkin=YYYY-MM-DD&checkout=YYYY-MM-DD&num_guests=N` shows the total with fees and taxes for those dates, or says the dates are unavailable. Every search result links there with your dates. Book on that page.
3. **Property data files**: `https://www.bethanybeachvacationhomes.com/property/{property_id}.md` (identical plain text at `https://www.bethanybeachvacationhomes.com/property/{property_id}.txt`, or send `Accept: text/markdown` to the property URL), all listed in https://www.bethanybeachvacationhomes.com/ai-sitemap.xml. Each has the property's facts and about 18 months of nightly availability, rates and minimum stays: use them to screen many properties, then the dated property page for the exact total.
4. **MCP** (for MCP-capable clients): `https://www.bethanybeachvacationhomes.com/mcp` (Streamable HTTP). Tools search this host's stays, read details, quote exact dates, request a discount and return the booking link.
