Your house. Your listing. Our hours.
We co-host 20 homes across Florida, Colorado, New York and Puglia. Everything runs underneath your own account, so the listing you built, the reviews you earned and the Superhost status you hold all stay exactly where they are.
Most management companies move your property onto their account.
Your reviews reset. Your Superhost status goes with them. If you ever leave, you start again from nothing.
We work underneath your listing instead. You keep the account, the history and the relationship with your guests. We take the pricing, the messaging at two in the morning, the turnovers, the maintenance and the licensing.

- Onboarding fee

The cleaner does not decide the house is ready. The photographs do.
Most turnovers end with a text that says done. Ours end with a set of photos, every room, checked before the next guest gets the door code.
A house that fails goes back on the list. It does not go to the guest.
- The cleaner photographs each room on the way out.
- The photos are checked against the standard for that house.
- Only then is the house marked ready.
Owners, in their own words.
Left as written on our Google listing. Surnames shortened, nothing else changed.
My ratings and revenue have never been higher.
My ratings and revenue have never been higher. They are super quick to respond and they helped me increase my revenue through their pricing strategy.
Holdfast stepped in and took over seamlessly.
I was managing my rental property myself and I was doing good, but it got to the point where I didn't have the time to be as involved anymore. Holdfast stepped in and took over seamlessly.
Pierce held my hand through the whole process.
Being new to the industry, Pierce held my hand through the whole process and provided exceptional service.

Both my occupancy rate and my price-per-night have increased since using Holdfast. I just wish I would have started using them earlier.

earned by every house we have run. That is the money the platforms paid out, before our percentage.
Counted from our booking system when this page was built, across every house we have run, including the ones we no longer manage. Not rounded up for effect.
The first year, in real numbers.
What a house earned in its first twelve months with Holdfast, counted from the first guest stay, and where it stands now. Taken from the booking records, not estimated.
See all seven houses and how the figures are counted
Rental revenue is the nightly rate guests paid after discounts, before platform fees and before Holdfast's fee. It leaves out cleaning fees and taxes, and it is not what the owner was paid. Occupancy is booked nights over all 365 nights, so nights an owner kept for themselves count against it. The first 12 months start at the first guest stay with Holdfast. The latest 12 months run from October 2025 to September 2026. Dollar figures are rounded to the nearest dollar.
These are past results for particular houses. They do not guarantee what any house, including yours, will earn.
Where we operate

18 are open for booking today. We run the other 2 as well; they are not taking bookings at the moment.
Most of what we run is in Broward County. Fort Lauderdale, Oakland Park, Wilton Manors and Pompano Beach are close enough together that the same cleaners, the same handyman and the same person on the phone cover all of it. We take houses north into Palm Beach County as well, in Delray Beach and West Palm Beach.
In Delray Beach, whether a home can be rented short term turns on its zoning district. What the city's code says, district by district, and how we run homes there.
If your house is somewhere else, ask anyway. We have full staff available and we already run houses in Colorado, New York and Puglia, so distance is a staffing question rather than a no.
Booking here costs less than booking the same house on Airbnb.
Airbnb adds a service fee to the guest, usually 14 to 16 percent on top of the nightly rate. Book the same house directly with us and that fee is not there. Same house, same beds, same people looking after it. 18 of them, all bookable direct.
A few of the houses.
Six of 18, from a two-bed apartment to a house that sleeps twelve.
The short answers.
A property manager moves your home onto their account. Their name, their reviews, their Superhost status. Co-hosting means the listing stays in your name and we operate it for you. If you ever leave, you keep everything you built.
Our fee is 15 to 20 percent of nightly revenue, depending on the property, plus a one time $500 licensing fee, only if we obtain the licenses for you. No onboarding fee, no photography fee, no marketing fee. If the home earns nothing, neither do we.
Fort Lauderdale, Pompano Beach and Wilton Manors in Florida, plus Evergreen in Colorado, Newburgh in New York and Ostuni in Puglia. If your property is somewhere else, ask anyway. We already manage across Florida, Colorado, New York and Puglia, so a new location is a question about the house rather than about the map.
Yes. Certificates, fire and building inspections, and the town specific rules that differ between municipalities. Pompano Beach treats anything under six months as a short term rental where Fort Lauderdale uses 30 days, and the paperwork is different in each.
Established cleaning teams in each market, scheduled against the booking calendar. Maintenance is coordinated by us and carried out by trades we already work with.
Rates and minimum stays are managed daily against real demand by a dedicated revenue manager, rather than set once and left alone.
Yes, whenever you want. You get an owner portal, so you can block the dates yourself and see the booking calendar, the payouts and how the house is performing whenever you feel like looking, without asking anyone for a report. It is your house, and an arrangement that quietly discourages you from using it has the relationship the wrong way round.
You leave. There is no long contract and nothing to unwind: the listing is already in your name, the reviews are already yours, and your Superhost status was never interrupted. That is the point of co-hosting rather than handing the property over.
No. Both are included and both are ours to organize. We install the smart lock and we coordinate the photography, because a house photographed badly earns less no matter how good it is, and self check in has to work every time without you being involved.
They get an answer. Guest messages are answered around the clock, not held until morning.
Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com and Google, plus direct bookings through this website, and we can add more channels than those where a house suits them. In practice the majority of bookings come through Airbnb by some distance. Direct bookings avoid the service fee the platforms add to the guest, which is why we push them where we can.
Both. Every house on this site is bookable here without the platform service fee, and those bookings sit alongside the platform calendars rather than competing with them.

Agents, lenders, designers, past clients, the neighbor who keeps asking. When you hear "we bought a place to Airbnb," that is the moment.
- Make the introduction.A text or an email to both of us is plenty.
- We take it from there.A call, a look at the house, and an honest number for what it would earn.
- They keep their listing.Co-hosting means the account, reviews and Superhost status stay theirs, so you are never sending a friend into a trap.
Tell us about the house.
Send the address and we will come back with what it would earn, what the licensing takes in your town, and what we would change before it goes live.
