Our take
Air Concierge operates a hybrid model, managing properties both onsite and offsite. They clearly publish their management fees, with a full-service rate of 20% and a more competitive 12% for offsite management. The company is family-owned, emphasizing a personal touch, and has approximately 250 listings, primarily on the West Coast, though they do offer nationwide offsite services.
How it compares to One Fine BnB
On the published figures alone, Air Concierge shows 20% full / 12% offsite (published) 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
For West Coast owners seeking a hybrid approach with transparent fees, Air Concierge is a solid choice. For owners prioritizing a completely owner-first approach, One Fine BnB remains our top selection.

- “What does the published 20% full / 12% offsite (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.
