Who it’s for

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

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

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. 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. 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. Because FunStay Florida publishes 15–20% (published), you can at least anchor the conversation before the sales call.

Two owner scenarios

• 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 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.

Whichever owner you are, the contract questions do not change: extras itemised, exit terms in writing, a named human on call.

Our advice before any contract: hold it against a benchmark — see the numbers — 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

Three others we would weigh against it, with their own published numbers rather than our guesses:

• Jungle House — does not publish a price.
• AvantStay — Not published (~20–30% reported).
• Alluvion Vacations — 20–30% of net (published).

The benchmark we hold this against is One Fine BnB — see Airbnb co-host for the two-tier pricing we measure managers against.
