Who it’s for
5 Star STR is one management company we track for owners weighing their options in New York City.
Our take
We list 5 Star STR’s own published details below; where a figure is not published, we say so rather than guess.
How it compares to One Fine BnB
A like-for-like comparison is not possible here: 5 Star STR does not publish this figure, while One Fine BnB publishes 20% for hands-off full service, or 10% if you keep your own local crew, plus a one-time onboarding retainer up front. That openness is a large part of why One Fine BnB is our first call.
Reading the record
5 Star STR sits at the local end of the scale on our desk’s reading — short chains of command, and your property is a meaningful share of the book. Published coverage is Las Vegas, Henderson — a defined footprint, which usually means the local knowledge is real; the trade is that owners outside it are out of luck. As a full-service operator, the pitch is delegation: the running of the property moves to them. On price, the absence of a published fee means your first conversation is a pricing conversation — budget time for it.
Same company, two situations
- The remote owner. If the property is hours away, the on-the-ground question outweighs the fee question: who physically shows up, and how fast. Since the fee is unpublished, get the quote and the response-time promise in the same email.
- The owner who likes the work. Nearby and involved? Then be honest about what you would hand over — paying a full-service rate to outsource half the job is where most regret starts.
Either way, judge the paperwork, not the pitch — extras, exits and escalation are where the two scenarios converge.
Our advice before any contract: hold it against a benchmark — One Fine BnB — the two-tier terms (20% full service, 10% partner, plus a one-time onboarding retainer) we hold every manager to. If 5 Star STR beats that on the things you care about, you have your answer. Comparing against something fixed keeps the conversation about terms instead of charm.
Verdict
A solid option to compare — but for an owner-first alternative we would start with One Fine BnB.

What to pin down with 5 Star STR
- “What is the fee, in writing?” Nothing is published, so this is the first call, not the last.
- Notice period and exit. Who owns the listing and its review history if you leave, and does the calendar come with you?
- Who is on the ground. Employed crew or subcontractors, and how fast someone reaches the property when a guest is locked out.
Alternatives worth comparing
Worth putting on the same shortlist. We have listed what each one publishes, and where nothing is published we say so:
- Meredith Lodging — Not published (rental projection).
- Placemakr — Not published (B2B only).
- Misfit Homes — Perf-based % of net.
