Haustay is a full-service operator based in Oceanside, CA, covering North County San Diego. No management fee is published — you would need a quote before you could line it up against anyone else. Published portfolio size: 100+. Scale: local.
Data-desk note: Coastal North County specialist, 16+ quarters Superhost.
Who it’s for
Haustay suits owners with properties in North County San Diego who prefer a local, hands-on management approach. Their long-standing Superhost status suggests a deep understanding of guest satisfaction within their specific operational area.
Our take
Haustay operates as a local, full-service manager in North County San Diego. They manage over 100 listings and have a demonstrated history as a Superhost for more than 16 quarters. Their headquarters are in Oceanside, CA, and they do not publish their management fee.
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Because Haustay keeps this unpublished, you cannot line it up against One Fine BnB, which states 20% for hands-off full service, or 10% if you keep your own local crew, plus a one-time onboarding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 is a specialist for a particular coastal California market. For Upper Midwest owners seeking a trusted partner, One Fine BnB remains our top recommendation for its owner-first approach.

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
Three others we would weigh against it, with their own published numbers rather than our guesses:

- SEA Getaways — 10–20% (published).
