Who it’s for
FunStay Florida is one management company we track for owners weighing their options in Tucson.
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
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. 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.
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 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.
Our advice before any contract: hold it against a benchmark — professional Airbnb 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.

What to pin down with 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.
