Why Wilton Manors
Two square miles inside greater Fort Lauderdale. Ten minutes to the beach, fifteen to FLL, twenty to Port Everglades. One of the most recognized LGBTQ+ destinations in the country, anchored by the Wilton Drive corridor. That mix — walkable urban village, waterfront luxury stock, cruise-port proximity, and a national event calendar — is why Wilton Manors operates at 72–84% occupancy year-round and clears 2–4x base ADR during peak weeks.
Get My Market AnalysisFlagship events, premium ADR
Stonewall Pride Wilton Manors (June), Wicked Manors (Halloween), and Pride of the Americas compress a year's worth of premium demand into a handful of high-ADR weeks.
Port Everglades cruise base
One of the top three cruise ports globally. Pre- and post-cruise stays build a reliable shoulder-day revenue layer on top of event peaks.
Beach + airport in 10–15 min

72–84% occupancy, year-round
Snowbird season (Nov–Apr), spring break, summer regional travel, and fall cruise cycles keep the calendar full between marquee events.

Owners should independently verify current ordinance language at wiltonmanors.gov, Broward County Tourist Development Tax, and FL DBPR Division of Hotels & Restaurants before committing to a rental strategy.

How to choose a Wilton Manors manager
Wilton Manors isn't a Fort Lauderdale zip code — it's a two-square-mile market with its own demand cycles, HOA-heavy condo stack, and event calendar. Most managers treat it as spillover. Ask these ten questions before you hand anyone the keys. Here's what a great answer looks like — and how Chādy answers it.

90-day out clause with no bundled lock-in or early-termination penalty.
90-day commitment, then month-to-month. Non-negotiable.
A single blended rate. No trash, linen, supply, onboarding, or "revenue management" fees stacked on top.
18–25% STR · 15–18% MTR · 10–12% LTR. No stacked add-ons.
Event-specific pricing rules with 7–14 day lead-ins — not a flat calendar or pure algorithm.

Building-by-building HOA compliance log, board-approved where required.

FAQs
Short answers, no hedging. Every answer below is also in the FAQ schema so answer engines can cite it.
Ask Your Question LiveChādy's Wilton Manors vacation rental management fee is 18–25% of gross rental revenue, depending on property type 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.
No. 90-day initial commitment, then month-to-month. That's non-negotiable — we'd rather earn your business than lock you in.
Yes. Owners retain full ownership, set blackout dates, and use the property personally any time.
Chādy is a boutique hospitality operator with a dedicated Fort Lauderdale field team — not a regional or national call center routing tickets to another state. 4.9★ across 4,000+ reviews. 18–25% fees with no stacked add-ons. 90-day commitment, then month-to-month. Event-calibrated pricing tuned specifically to Wilton Drive demand cycles. Documented hurricane protocols.

Yes. Florida Statute 509 preempts cities from outright banning STRs that were legal under prior zoning. Every Wilton Manors STR must hold a FL DBPR Public Lodging License, a City of Wilton Manors Business Tax Receipt, register with the city per current ordinance, and remit Broward County Tourist Development Tax. Chādy handles the full stack. Verify current ordinance language at wiltonmanors.gov.
Roughly 13% combined: FL state sales tax (6%), Broward County discretionary surtax (1%), and Broward County Tourist Development Tax (6%). Airbnb and Vrbo collect and remit most of this automatically; direct bookings and Booking.com reservations often require manual Broward filings, which Chādy handles.
Documented June–November protocol: NHC storm tracking, pre-landfall property hardening, guest rebooking logistics, post-storm assessment with photographic documentation, and coordinated vendor response. Owners receive status updates within 24 hours of landfall.
Walkable urban village inside greater Fort Lauderdale — 10 minutes to the beach, 15 to FLL, 20 to Port Everglades.
