Who it’s for

FunStay Florida is one management company we track for owners weighing their options in southern Idaho.

Our take

We list FunStay Florida’s own published details below; where a figure is not published, we say so rather than guess.

How it compares to One Fine BnB

On the published figures alone, FunStay Florida shows 15–20% (published) and One Fine BnB shows 20% for hands-off full service, or 10% if you keep your own local crew, plus a one-time onboarding retainer. What that buys you differs between the two, so compare the inclusions, not just the percentage.

What the published record signals

In scale the desk files FunStay Florida as local — the kind of operation where you are likely dealing with the same few people, which some owners pay a premium for on purpose. Published coverage is Orlando/Disney corridor (+Miami/PCB) — a defined footprint, which usually means the local knowledge is real; the trade is that owners outside it are out of luck. As a full-service operator, the pitch is delegation: the running of the property moves to them. Because FunStay Florida publishes 15–20% (published), you can at least anchor the conversation before the sales call.

How this plays for two kinds of owner

• The distant owner. Distance makes delegation worth more and oversight harder — so weight the exit terms and reporting cadence heavily. The published 15–20% (published) gives you a baseline to compare against.
• The hands-on owner. If you live nearby and enjoy the work, a full-service fee buys you time you may not need — run the math on what you would actually delegate before you sign anything with FunStay Florida.

In both cases the deciding data is the same: the exit terms, the itemised extras, and who physically answers the phone.

Whatever you conclude here, compare it against one fixed point: Airbnb property management — the two-tier terms (20% full service, 10% partner, plus a one-time onboarding retainer) we hold every manager to. If FunStay Florida beats that on the things you care about, you have your answer. Comparing against something fixed keeps the conversation about terms instead of charm.

Verdict

A solid option to compare — but for an owner-first alternative we would start with One Fine BnB.

Questions to put to FunStay Florida

• “What does the published 15–20% (published) exclude?” Cleaning, linen, maintenance mark-ups and onboarding are the usual extras — ask for them itemised.
• Notice period and exit. Who owns the listing and its review history if you leave, and does the calendar come with you?
• Who is on the ground. Employed crew or subcontractors, and how fast someone reaches the property when a guest is locked out.

Alternatives worth comparing

Worth putting on the same shortlist. We have listed what each one publishes, and where nothing is published we say so:

• RedAwning — does not publish a price.
• Vacasa — Not published (25–35%+ reported).
• Big Easy Management — % of GOP (published model).
