How much does Airbnb management cost in Florida?
Chādy's Florida vacation rental management fee is 18–25% of gross rental revenue, depending on market and service scope. Mid-term (30+ night) is 15–18% and long-term (12-month) is 10–12%. No hidden fees. 90-day initial commitment, then month-to-month — never long-term contracts.
What Florida markets does Chādy manage?
Chādy manages Florida vacation rentals across Miami/Miami Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando/Kissimmee/Reunion, 30A and Destin, Panama City Beach, Tampa/St. Pete/Clearwater, Naples/Marco Island, and the Florida Keys. Expansion markets include Sarasota/Siesta Key/Anna Maria, Fort Myers/Cape Coral, and Jacksonville/Amelia Island.
Are short-term rentals legal in Florida?
Yes. Florida Statute 509 preempts cities from outright banning STRs that were legal under prior zoning. Every Florida STR must hold a FL DBPR Public Lodging License and counties and cities add their own rules on top. Miami-Dade, Miami Beach, Orange County (Orlando), Walton County (30A), and Monroe County (Keys) carry the strictest overlays. Chādy validates before listing.
Do I need a Florida DBPR license?
Yes. Every Florida STR must hold an active DBPR Public Lodging License — Vacation Rental Dwelling (single-family, townhome) or Vacation Rental Condo. Chādy files the application, handles inspections, posts required signage, and manages annual renewals.
What taxes do Florida short-term rental hosts pay?
FL state sales tax 6%, local discretionary surtax 0.5–1.5%, and county Tourist Development Tax 4–6%. Combined most FL STRs remit 11–13% in taxes. Airbnb and Vrbo auto-collect state sales and most county TDT, but direct bookings and Booking.com often require manual county filings. Chādy registers with FL DOR and every county tax collector, reconciles, and files monthly.
How does Chādy handle Florida hurricane season?
Documented protocol every June–November: NHC storm tracking, pre-landfall property hardening (shutters, outdoor furniture, pool equipment), guest rebooking, post-storm photo documentation for insurance, and coordinated vendor response for roof, water, and tree damage. Owner status updates within 24 hours of landfall.

How fast can my Florida vacation rental go live?
Most Florida properties launch in 3–5 weeks — photography, dynamic pricing, 30+ platform listing, DBPR application, county TDT, city/HOA registration. Miami-Dade and Orange County can take longer depending on inspection scheduling.
Does Chādy handle the full Florida permit stack?
Yes. FL DBPR Public Lodging License (dwelling or condo). Miami-Dade STR registration + Miami Beach zoning compliance. Orange County (Orlando) STR zoning + permit. Walton County (30A) TDT + sign requirements. Monroe County (Keys) transient rental license. Plus FL DOR sales tax and every county TDT registration.
Do you also manage mid-term and long-term rentals in Florida?
Yes. STR is primary (18–25%). Furnished MTR 30+ nights for snowbirds, traveling medical, corporate relocation, insurance-displacement (15–18%). 12-month LTR (10–12%).
Do I still control my Florida property?
Yes. Owners retain full ownership, set blackout dates, and use the property personally at any time — including during peak season when you want to be in Florida yourself.
What's included in full-service Florida vacation rental management?
Dynamic pricing, 30+ platform distribution, 24/7 guest communication, hotel-quality cleaning, maintenance coordination, professional photography, FL DBPR licensing, county TDT registration and monthly filings, hurricane preparedness protocols, insurance claim coordination, HOA/condo-board coordination, and monthly owner reporting.
Is there a long-term contract?
No. 90-day initial commitment, then month-to-month.
How is Chādy different from typical Florida vacation rental managers?
Chādy is a boutique hospitality operator with dedicated Florida field teams — not a national call center. 4.9★ avg across 4,000+ reviews, 90-day initial commitment (then month-to-month), 18–25% fees, documented hurricane protocols, multi-state luxury portfolio. National full-service managers routinely charge 25–35% with 12- to 24-month lock-ins; listing-only marketplaces charge less but leave guest comms, cleaning, permits, and tax filings to owners.
Which Florida markets have the highest vacation rental revenue?
30A leads per-property gross on 3–5 BR beachfront, followed by the Keys and Destin. Orlando/Reunion generates the highest volume on 5–9 BR family pool homes near Disney. Miami Beach and Fort Lauderdale command premium ADR on luxury condos and oceanfront homes. Chādy validates fit before listing.
What drives Florida vacation rental demand year-round?
Winter snowbird stays (Nov–Apr), spring break, summer family travel, year-round Disney/Universal tourism, major events (Art Basel Miami, Miami Grand Prix, Daytona 500, Tampa Gasparilla), hurricane-season insurance displacement. Chādy's pricing engine calibrates rates to these drivers and enforces season-specific minimum stays.
Does Chādy operate at Airbnb Superhost standards in Florida?
Yes. Chādy's Airbnb host accounts consistently operate at Superhost-caliber metrics across Fort Lauderdale (FL), Nashville (TN), and Blue Ridge (GA) — 4.9★ average, sub-1-hour response times, under 1% cancellation rate. Superhost status is reviewed quarterly by Airbnb and varies by listing and review period.
