What does full-service management include?

Listing creation and photography, dynamic pricing, multi-channel distribution, 24/7 guest communication, in-house cleaning, maintenance coordination and owner reporting.

How much can my Florida property earn?

It depends on the market, bedroom count, amenities and season. We build a property-specific projection instead of quoting statewide averages.

Do I need a license to run a short-term rental in Florida?

Requirements vary by state agency, county and city, and often by building or HOA. We help owners verify what applies at their specific address before going live.

Is there a setup fee or long-term contract?

No setup fees and no long-term contract — a flat management fee with everything included.

Florida Short-Term Rental Licensing Basics

Requirements vary by state agency, county, city, zoning district and building or community. Confirm what applies to your specific property before listing.

Florida DBPR Vacation Rental License — Qualifying vacation rentals must obtain the applicable Florida Department of Business & Professional Regulation lodging license before operating.
Florida Sales Tax — Transient accommodations rented for six months or less are generally subject to Florida's 6% state sales tax, plus any applicable county discretionary sales surtax.
County Tourist Taxes — Counties may impose additional Tourist Development, Convention Development or other transient rental taxes. Rates and filing requirements vary by location.
Local Licensing & Zoning — Cities and counties may require vacation rental registration, Business Tax Receipts, Certificates of Use, inspections, zoning approval, responsible-party contacts and other local compliance requirements.
HOA, Condo & Building Rules — A property may be legally eligible for short-term rental use under government regulations but still be restricted by its condominium association, HOA, resort community or building rules. Rental restrictions should always be verified before listing.

BestStay Florida helps owners determine which requirements apply to their property and coordinates licensing, compliance, revenue management and day-to-day vacation rental operations.
