Our take
Tampa Bay Stays operates exclusively in the Tampa Bay market, managing a small number of listings. They state an average management fee of approximately 10% and note unlimited owner stays. Their operations are described as local, with their headquarters in Tampa Bay, Florida.
How it compares to One Fine BnB
On the published figures alone, Tampa Bay Stays shows ~10% (stated avg) 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
Tampa Bay Stays provides a local co-hosting option for Tampa Bay owners, though their limited market presence may be a consideration. For an owner-first alternative, consider One Fine BnB.

What to pin down with Tampa Bay Stays
- “What does the published ~10% (stated avg) 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.
