Who it’s for
This service is geared towards property owners specifically in the Tampa Bay market who are looking for a local co-host. Given the small number of listings shown, it may be best suited for owners in that immediate vicinity seeking a hands-on, neighbourhood presence.
Our take
Tampa Bay Stays operates as a co-host with a stated average management fee of approximately 10%. The company is based in Tampa Bay, Florida, and appears to focus solely on that market, with approximately six listings observed. Unlimited owner stays are permitted, which is a notable benefit for owners who wish to use their property themselves.
How it compares to One Fine BnB
Side by side on published terms: Tampa Bay Stays lists ~10% (stated avg), 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
Tampa Bay Stays provides a localised co-hosting option for Tampa Bay owners. 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.
