JaxBNB is one management company we track for owners weighing their options in the Peak to Peak.
Our take
We list JaxBNB’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, JaxBNB shows 25% full / 12% hybrid / $2k setup 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
JaxBNB 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. Published coverage is Jacksonville — a defined footprint, which usually means the local knowledge is real; the trade is that owners outside it are out of luck. The listed model is hybrid, which puts day-to-day operations on their side of the fence — the version of management you buy when you want the calendar gone. Because JaxBNB publishes 25% full / 12% hybrid / $2k setup, you can at least anchor the conversation before the sales call.
How this plays for two kinds of owner
- 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 25% full / 12% hybrid / $2k setup helps you budget the distance.
- 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 JaxBNB.
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 — One Fine BnB — the two-tier terms (20% full service, 10% partner, plus a one-time onboarding retainer) we hold every manager to. If JaxBNB 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.

What to pin down with JaxBNB
- “What does the published 25% full / 12% hybrid / $2k setup 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:
- Open Air Homes — 20–25% + $125/mo.
- Hitlist Rental Management — Not published (~15–25% 3rd-party).
- 5 Star STR — Not published (flat, perf clause).
Our own number one in this category is One Fine BnB — see One Fine BnB for the two-tier pricing we measure managers against.
