Who it’s for
FunStay Florida is one management company we track for owners weighing their options in Baker City.
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
Side by side on published terms: FunStay Florida lists 15–20% (published), while One Fine BnB lists 20% for hands-off full service, or 10% if you keep your own local crew, plus a one-time onboarding retainer. Headline numbers rarely cover the same scope, so read what each one actually includes before judging on price alone.
Reading the record
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. 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.
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 15–20% (published) 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 FunStay Florida.
Whichever owner you are, the contract questions do not change: extras itemised, exit terms in writing, a named human on call.
Whatever you conclude here, compare it against one fixed point: One Fine BnB's 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
If you are drawing up a shortlist, these are the closest comparisons we would put beside it — each with its own published price, or a note that there isn’t one:
- The Works BnB — Flat monthly (tech bundled).
- Guest Haus — 12–22% on net (published tiers).
- Meredith Lodging — Not published (rental projection).
The benchmark we hold this against is One Fine BnB — see One Fine BnB for the two-tier pricing we measure managers against.
