The published facts, in plain English
Superstays is a co-host operator based in San Diego, CA, covering San Diego. On price, the company publishes 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 who prefer to retain control of their listing and manage it themselves, with Superstays acting as a co-host. It suits owners in their local San Diego market who are seeking a co-host rather than a full management service.
Our take
Superstays operates with a straightforward 20% flat management fee, indicating they will co-host your listing. The company's headquarters are in San Diego, and their operations are currently limited to that market. The number of listings managed by Superstays is not disclosed. Their 'Data-desk note' suggests they are a co-host where the owner maintains control of the listing, but notes 'thin trust signals'.
How it compares to One Fine BnB
Side by side on published terms: Superstays lists 20% flat, 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.
Verdict
Superstays presents a clear fee structure for co-hosting in San Diego. For owners prioritising a hands-off approach with a provider focused on owner-first principles, One Fine BnB is our top recommendation.

Questions to put to 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.
