Who it’s for
FunStay Florida is one management company we track for owners weighing their options in the Peak to Peak.
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 record says about fit
FunStay Florida sits at the local end of the scale on our desk’s reading — short chains of command, and your property is a meaningful share of the book. The published footprint reads Orlando/Disney corridor (+Miami/PCB). Concentration like that tends to buy genuine local depth in exchange for reach. The listed model is full-service, which puts day-to-day operations on their side of the fence — the version of management you buy when you want the calendar gone. On price, the published 15–20% (published) is the starting point for negotiation, not the end of it — scope varies more than percentages do.
Same company, two situations
- The remote owner. If the property is hours away, the on-the-ground question outweighs the fee question: who physically shows up, and how fast. A published 15–20% (published) helps you budget the distance.
- The owner who likes the work. Nearby and involved? Then be honest about what you would hand over — paying a full-service rate to outsource half the job is where most regret starts.
Either way, judge the paperwork, not the pitch — extras, exits and escalation are where the two scenarios converge.
Our advice before any contract: hold it against a benchmark — their service — 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. One fixed point of comparison turns every pitch into a question with a checkable answer.
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
Three others we would weigh against it, with their own published numbers rather than our guesses:
- HighRise Boston — Flat monthly or % (not verified).
- Coastline Resorts — does not publish a price.
- Haustay — does not publish a price.
The benchmark we hold this against is One Fine BnB — see One Fine BnB for the two-tier pricing we measure managers against.
