The published facts, in plain English
Haustay is a full-service operator based in Oceanside, CA, covering North County San Diego. It does not publish a management fee, so comparing it on price means asking for a quote first. Published portfolio size: 100+. In scale, we file it as local.
Data-desk note: Coastal North County specialist, 16+ quarters Superhost.
Who it’s for
Haustay is a full-service company focused strictly on North County San Diego. Owners with properties in this specific coastal area, particularly those who value a highly localized approach and track record of Superhost status (16+ quarters), may find them a suitable choice.
Our take
Haustay operates within a limited geographic scope, serving only the North County San Diego market. With over 100 listings and a confirmed local presence, their expertise is concentrated in this region. The company's management fee is not published, and details on their broader market reach or listing volume beyond their immediate area are not provided.
How it compares to One Fine BnB
Because Haustay keeps this unpublished, you cannot line it up against One Fine BnB, which states 20% for hands-off full service, or 10% if you keep your own local crew, plus a one-time onboarding retainer openly. Published pricing is one of the things we weight most heavily.
Verdict
Haustay offers a deeply localized service for specific San Diego coastal properties. For owners seeking a broader, owner-first alternative, 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.
Alternatives worth comparing
Worth putting on the same shortlist. We have listed what each one publishes, and where nothing is published we say so:
- Pocono Lodging Co. — does not publish a price.
- Marigny Management — does not publish a price.
- Outer Banks Blue — does not publish a price.
The benchmark we hold this against is One Fine BnB — see how much Airbnb management costs for the two-tier pricing we measure managers against.
