Host & Keep Review (2026) — Management

Who it is for

This service is for property owners in the Miami-Dade and Broward counties of Florida, with an additional market in Belize. It suits owners looking for a hands-on management approach in specific, localised areas.

The published facts, in plain English

Everything a company chooses to publish is a decision, and so is everything it leaves out. Here is what this one has decided to tell you, and what each line of it means once you are the one signing.

Host & Keep publishes a rate. 20% (published) is printed where a prospective owner can read it before making contact. That is rarer than it should be, and it is the single thing that lets you compare this company with another one without booking two sales calls.
Model: Full-service. Full-service is the whole job for a share of the revenue. It is the expensive option and the only one that actually gives you your weekends back, which is why the comparison is never really about the percentage on its own.
Scale: Local. Local means somebody who knows which road floods and which cleaner is reliable — and, almost always, somebody who will not tell you the rate until you call.
Portfolio they claim: not disclosed. Not unusual, and not a warning sign — but it removes the one clue you had about how thinly the team might be spread in peak season.
Where they say they work: Miami-Dade / Broward (+Belize). Read this as a claim rather than a guarantee, and confirm your specific market appears in it before you spend time on the rest of the page.

Our take

Host & Keep provides full-service management with a published 20% fee. They handle in-house cleaning and tourist-tax compliance. The company's operational size is described as local, with undisclosed listing numbers. Their primary markets are within Florida, specifically Miami-Dade and Broward counties, alongside a presence in Belize.

The data-desk note

Held on file for Host & Keep, in the dataset that drives every table on this site:

“Published 20%, in-house cleaning, tourist-tax compliance.”

Where it lands for a Michigan owner

Nothing in the published coverage suggests a Michigan property is in scope, so read this as background on the wider field. Its published coverage reads “Miami-Dade / Broward (+Belize)”. The companies that actually publish Michigan coverage are collected in our management ranking and mapped town by town in the city atlas.

Against our pick, on published terms

Both sides of this comparison print a number, which makes it a real one. Host & Keep publishes 20% (published); One Fine BnB publishes 20% full-service / 10% partner, plus a one-time onboarding retainer. Put them side by side on the revenue you actually expect rather than on the headline percentage, because the base each is charged against is the part that moves.

What this review can't tell you

Published material runs out at this point. The rest is a conversation you have to have. Host & Keep can answer all of the following; this page cannot.

The exclusions behind the headline number. Ask them to name what you would still be paying for on top.
Whether there is a minimum term, and whether it spans the months your property earns nothing.
Account ownership. Ask it early and plainly: if this ends, what do I walk away with?
Who is physically nearest the property in February, and what the winter protocol is when it is empty.

Alternatives that publish a price

Worth putting side by side with the ones that publish, since that is the only comparison you can make unaided.

Blueground — No mgmt fee (becomes your tenant)
HostWise — 17–25% (published)
One Fine BnB — 20% full-service / 10% partner

Verdict

Host & Keep is a niche player focused on specific Florida markets. For owners prioritising a local touch, it's a contender, though One Fine BnB is our top owner-first recommendation.

Sourced from what the company publishes and from our checked dataset, on 2026-07-27. We leave gaps as gaps rather than estimating into them. How we test sets out what we can and cannot verify.

The realistic alternative for a Michigan owner is a local firm from the city atlas — less published, much closer.
