FunStay Florida is a full-service operator based in Kissimmee, FL, covering Orlando/Disney corridor (+Miami/PCB). The number it puts in writing is 15–20% (published). Published portfolio size: Small. Scale: local.
Data-desk note: Owner-operator Disney-corridor family specialist.
Who it’s for
Ideal for Montana owners with properties specifically in the Orlando/Disney corridor or Miami/PCB areas. This company suits those seeking a local, family-run specialist with a focus on owner operations.
Our take
FunStay Florida charges a management fee of 15-20%, which is published. Their market focus is explicitly stated as the Orlando/Disney corridor, with mentions of Miami and Panama City Beach. The company's size is described as local and its listing count as small, indicating a concentrated operational area.
How it compares to One Fine BnB
Side by side on published terms: FunStay Florida lists 15–20% (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.
What the record says about fit
In scale the desk files FunStay Florida as local — the kind of operation where you are likely dealing with the same few people, which some owners pay a premium for on purpose. The published footprint reads Orlando/Disney corridor (+Miami/PCB). Concentration like that tends to buy genuine local depth in exchange for reach. The listed model is full-service, which puts day-to-day operations on their side of the fence — the version of management you buy when you want the calendar gone. On price, the published 15–20% (published) is the starting point for negotiation, not the end of it — scope varies more than percentages do.
Two owner scenarios
- The remote owner. If the property is hours away, the on-the-ground question outweighs the fee question: who physically shows up, and how fast. A published 15–20% (published) helps you budget the distance.
- The owner who likes the work. Nearby and involved? Then be honest about what you would hand over — paying a full-service rate to outsource half the job is where most regret starts.
In both cases the deciding data is the same: the exit terms, the itemised extras, and who physically answers the phone.
Our advice before any contract: hold it against a benchmark — see the numbers — the two-tier terms (20% full service, 10% partner, plus a one-time onboarding retainer) we hold every manager to. If FunStay Florida beats that on the things you care about, you have your answer. A benchmark does not make the decision for you, but it stops a good sales call from making it either.
Verdict
FunStay Florida is a specialised option for owners in their target Florida markets. For an owner-first alternative, consider One Fine BnB.

Questions to put to FunStay Florida
- “What does the published 15–20% (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.
