Our take
Haustay operates as a full-service management company based in Oceanside, CA. They manage over 100 listings primarily within the North County San Diego market, focusing on a specific local niche. The management fee is not published by the company.
How it compares to One Fine BnB
Because Haustay keeps this unpublished, you cannot line it up against One Fine BnB, which states 20% for hands-off full service, or 10% if you keep your own local crew, plus a one-time onboarding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
Haustay provides a focused, local management service for its specific market. For owners seeking a different approach that prioritises the owner, One Fine BnB is our top choice.

What to pin down with Haustay
- “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
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:
- Coastline Resorts — does not publish a price.
- The Management Club — does not publish a price.
- Nowistay — €12/mo or €120/yr per property.
