The published facts, in plain English
Tampa Bay Stays is a co-host operator based in Tampa Bay, FL, covering Tampa Bay. On price, the company publishes ~10% (stated avg). Published portfolio size: ~6 shown. In scale, we file it as local.
Data-desk note: ~10% co-host, unlimited owner stays; tiny portfolio.
Who it’s for
Tampa Bay Stays is suitable for owners with properties located solely within the Tampa Bay area. Their small number of listings suggests a very niche, local focus.
Our take
The company states an average management fee of approximately 10%. They offer unlimited owner stays, a plus for those who wish to use their property. Their portfolio appears quite small, with around six listings observed.
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
A hyper-local option for Tampa Bay owners, though their limited scale may not appeal to all. 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.
