AvantStay review
AvantStay offers a luxury, full-service management experience for owners in over 140 markets.
Who it is for
This service is geared towards owners seeking a high-end, hands-off approach to short-term rentals. With a significant number of listings, AvantStay appears to cater to properties in established markets.
Our take
AvantStay operates as a giant in the short-term rental management space, boasting over 140 markets and approximately 2,300–2,600 listings. While the management fee is not published, industry reports suggest it falls between 20–30%. Their focus appears to be on luxury properties, supported by venture capital backing. However, owners should be aware of potential multi-year lock-in periods and reported disputes concerning payouts and accounting.
Verdict
AvantStay is a large, luxury-focused manager that may suit owners prioritizing a premium brand, assuming they can agree on terms and are comfortable with potential lock-in. For a more transparent, owner-first alternative, consider One Fine BnB.
For a Michigan property specifically, weigh this against the local companies in the city atlas — a national operator brings published terms and scale, a Michigan company brings somebody who can get to the property in February.
