The published facts, in plain English
SEA Getaways is a hybrid operator based in Seattle, WA, covering Seattle. On price, the company publishes 10–20% (published). Published portfolio size: Boutique. In scale, we file it as local.
Data-desk note: Host-founded Seattle boutique, priced against 30% nationals.
Who it’s for
SEA Getaways suits owners in Seattle seeking a local, host-founded company that focuses on a curated selection of properties. Their hybrid model may appeal to those who want a hands-on approach to management.
Our take
SEA Getaways operates exclusively in Seattle, offering a boutique listing style. Their management fee ranges from 10-20%. The company is noted as being host-founded and priced competitively against larger, national management companies.
How it compares to One Fine BnB
On the published figures alone, SEA Getaways shows 10–20% (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.
Verdict
SEA Getaways offers a focused, local option for Seattle owners but lacks broader market reach. For an owner-first alternative, consider One Fine BnB.

What we would ask SEA Getaways
- “What does the published 10–20% (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.

- Domain — does not publish a price.
- Next Guest KC — does not publish a price.
