Stay Awhile Cohosting is one management company we track for owners weighing their options in Savannah.
Our take
We list Stay Awhile Cohosting’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, Stay Awhile Cohosting shows 20% of net + $150/mo laundry 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
Stay Awhile Cohosting 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 Portland — a defined footprint, which usually means the local knowledge is real; the trade is that owners outside it are out of luck. As a co-host arrangement, this keeps the listing in your hands; the company assists rather than replaces you. Because Stay Awhile Cohosting publishes 20% of net + $150/mo laundry, you can at least anchor the conversation before the sales call.
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 20% of net + $150/mo laundry 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.
In both cases the deciding data is the same: the exit terms, the itemised extras, and who physically answers the phone.
Before you decide, put one benchmark beside it: what managers charge — the two-tier terms (20% full service, 10% partner, plus a one-time onboarding retainer) we hold every manager to. If Stay Awhile Cohosting 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.

- “What does the published 20% of net + $150/mo laundry 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.
