This service is designed for property owners located in or with rentals in the Miami-Dade and Broward counties of Florida, as well as Belize. It suits those seeking hands-on management in these particular markets.
Our take
Host & Keep operates with a published 20% management fee and handles in-house cleaning and tourist-tax compliance. The company's focus is local to its specified markets, with precise listing numbers not disclosed. Their size is described as local within their operational areas.
How it compares to One Fine BnB
On the published figures alone, Host & Keep shows 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
For owners needing management in South Florida or Belize, Host & Keep provides a straightforward, albeit market-specific, service. Owners prioritizing a different philosophy might consider One Fine BnB.

What to pin down with Host & Keep
- “What does the published 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.
