The published facts, in plain English
Host & Keep is a full-service operator based in Miami, FL, covering Miami-Dade / Broward (+Belize). The number it puts in writing is 20% (published). Published portfolio size: Undisclosed. In scale, we file it as local.
Data-desk note: Published 20%, in-house cleaning, tourist-tax compliance.
Who it’s for
This service is best suited for property owners in the Miami-Dade and Broward areas who prefer a hands-on management team with in-house cleaning and tourist-tax compliance.
Our take
Host & Keep operates locally, which can be an advantage for owners seeking direct oversight and local knowledge. They publish a 20% management fee and handle tourist-tax compliance. Their listing numbers are undisclosed, and their market reach is limited to the Miami-Dade and Broward counties, with an additional presence in Belize.
How it compares to One Fine BnB
Side by side on published terms: Host & Keep lists 20% (published), while One Fine BnB lists 20% for hands-off full service, or 10% if you keep your own local crew, plus a one-time onboarding retainer. Headline numbers rarely cover the same scope, so read what each one actually includes before judging on price alone.
Verdict
Host & Keep provides a focused, local management solution. For an owner-first alternative with a strong track record, consider One Fine BnB.

What we would ask 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.
Alternatives worth comparing
Three others we would weigh against it, with their own published numbers rather than our guesses:
- Guestable — Not published (perf-based).
- CascadiaSTR — Not published (co-host or guaranteed-rent).
- Next Guest KC — does not publish a price.
