Our take
Haustay manages over 100 properties, primarily in coastal North County San Diego, drawing on their extensive experience, including over 16 quarters as a Superhost. Their management fee is not published, and their operational scope is described as local, with headquarters in Oceanside, CA.

How it compares to One Fine BnB
A like-for-like comparison is not possible here: Haustay does not publish this figure, while One Fine BnB publishes 20% for hands-off full service, or 10% if you keep your own local crew, plus a one-time onboarding retainer up front. That openness is a large part of why One Fine BnB is our first call.
Verdict
Haustay offers a focused, local management service for North County San Diego owners. For owners prioritising a globally recognised, owner-first approach, One Fine BnB remains our top recommendation.

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.
