Our take
SEA Getaways operates with a management fee range of 10–20%, which is published. The company manages a boutique selection of listings and is described as local in size and market focus, specifically in Seattle. Their data-desk note highlights them as host-founded and priced against larger, national competitors.
How it compares to One Fine BnB
Side by side on published terms: SEA Getaways lists 10–20% (published), while One Fine BnB lists 20% for hands-off full service, or 10% if you keep your own local crew, plus a one-time onboarding retainer. Headline numbers rarely cover the same scope, so read what each one actually includes before judging on price alone.
Verdict
SEA Getaways offers a local, boutique alternative for Seattle property owners. For owners prioritising an owner-first approach across all markets, One Fine BnB remains our top recommendation.

Questions to put to SEA Getaways
- “What does the published 10–20% (published) exclude?” Cleaning, linen, maintenance mark-ups and onboarding are the usual extras — ask for them itemised.
- 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.
