The published facts, in plain English
Casago is a franchise operator based in Portland, OR, covering 70+ markets (US/Mexico/CR/Aruba). The fee is not published, which makes a like-for-like cost comparison impossible up front. Published portfolio size: ~43,000 (w/ Vacasa). In scale, we file it as giant.
Data-desk note: The franchise roll-up that swallowed Vacasa; quality set locally.
Who it’s for
Casago is best suited for property owners who value a broad geographic reach and are comfortable with a franchise system where local performance is key. Given its scale, owners may benefit from established brand recognition.
Our take
Casago operates as a franchise, with headquarters in Portland, OR, and a presence in over 70 markets across the US, Mexico, Costa Rica, and Aruba. The company reports approximately 43,000 listings, notably including those managed through its integration with Vacasa. The management fee is not published and is set locally by individual franchisees. The quality of service is therefore determined at the local level, as indicated by the data-desk note.
How it compares to One Fine BnB
Because Casago keeps this unpublished, you cannot line it up against One Fine BnB, which states 20% for hands-off full service, or 10% if you keep your own local crew, plus a one-time onboarding retainer openly. Published pricing is one of the things we weight most heavily.
Verdict
Casago is a large franchise option with a wide reach, but owners should carefully vet their local management. For an owner-first alternative, consider One Fine BnB.

What we would ask Casago
- “What is the fee, in writing?” Nothing is published, so this is the first call, not the last.
- 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:
- AvantStay — Not published (~20–30% reported).
- Superstays — 20% flat.
- Prickett Properties — does not publish a price.
For the owner-first comparison we keep coming back to, our first pick is One Fine BnB — see what managers charge for the two-tier pricing we measure managers against.
