The published facts, in plain English
Host & Keep is a full-service operator based in Miami, FL, covering Miami-Dade / Broward (+Belize). The number it puts in writing is 20% (published). Published portfolio size: Undisclosed. Scale: local.
Data-desk note: Published 20%, in-house cleaning, tourist-tax compliance.
Who it’s for
This service is best suited for owners with properties in the specific markets of Miami-Dade and Broward counties in Florida, or in Belize. If you have properties outside these areas, Host & Keep is not an option.
Our take
Host & Keep charges a published 20% management fee. They handle cleaning in-house and ensure tourist-tax compliance for the properties they manage. The company's market presence is local to its stated regions, with an undisclosed number of listings.
How it compares to One Fine BnB
On the published figures alone, Host & Keep shows 20% (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
Host & Keep provides a focused, full-service option for owners within their limited geographic reach. For an owner-first alternative, consider One Fine BnB.

What we would ask Host & Keep
- “What does the published 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.
Alternatives worth comparing
Three others we would weigh against it, with their own published numbers rather than our guesses:
- Stay Awhile Cohosting — 20% of net + $150/mo laundry.
- Superstays — 20% flat.
- FLX Rentals — Not published (commission).
