The published facts, in plain English

Superstays is a co-host operator based in San Diego, CA, covering San Diego. The number it puts in writing is 20% flat. Published portfolio size: Undisclosed. Scale: local.

Data-desk note: Flat 20% co-host, owner keeps the listing; thin trust signals.

Who it’s for

This service is for property owners in San Diego who wish to retain direct control over their listing. Superstays acts as a co-host, managing aspects of the short-term rental operation within its primary market.

Our take

As a co-host, Superstays operates within the San Diego market only. They charge a flat management fee of 20%. The company's size is described as local, and the number of listings they manage is not disclosed. Their data-desk note suggests thin trust signals.

How it compares to One Fine BnB

On the published figures alone, Superstays shows 20% flat 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

Superstays is a co-hosting option for San Diego owners, though their limited market presence and undisclosed listing numbers warrant consideration. For an owner-first alternative, consider One Fine BnB.

What to pin down with Superstays

  • “What does the published 20% flat 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:

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.
