The published facts, in plain English
Superstays is a co-host operator based in San Diego, CA, covering San Diego. Its published management fee is 20% flat. Published portfolio size: Undisclosed. In scale, we file it as local.
Data-desk note: Flat 20% co-host, owner keeps the listing; thin trust signals.
Who it’s for
This service is for property owners in San Diego who want a co-host to manage bookings and guest communication while they maintain ownership of their listing. It's suited for those who prefer a straightforward, flat fee structure and are comfortable with the company's limited market presence.
Our take
Superstays operates solely in San Diego, presenting a local co-hosting option. Their fee structure is a flat 20%, which is clearly stated. However, the company does not disclose its number of listings, and trust signals are thin. The owner retains control of the listing, which may appeal to some.
How it compares to One Fine BnB
Side by side on published terms: Superstays lists 20% flat, while One Fine BnB lists 20% for hands-off full service, or 10% if you keep your own local crew, plus a one-time onboarding retainer. Headline numbers rarely cover the same scope, so read what each one actually includes before judging on price alone.
Verdict
Superstays provides a simple co-hosting model for San Diego owners, though its limited market and transparency may give owners pause. For an owner-first alternative, consider One Fine BnB.

What to pin down with Superstays
- “What does the published 20% flat 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.
