Vacation Rental and Seasonal Lease Management in Miami Beach

Yours Truly Hospitality manages furnished seasonal leases in Miami Beach, Florida, and is taking on new homes there now, because Miami Beach prohibits vacation rentals in every single-family home and in many multifamily buildings. The city's line is six months and one day. For the owner of a waterfront home on the Venetian Islands or La Gorce that is not a dead end: a designed, furnished home leased for the season or the year, managed to the same standard as a nightly calendar.

Yours Truly Hospitality is a short-term rental management and interior design company for waterfront and coastal homes in Southeast Florida, from Palm Beach south to Miami. Founded and operated by Brad and Justina McRae, it offers full-service management at 20 to 25 percent of revenue, backed by three written guarantees: the Take-Home Guarantee, the Zero Bookings Guarantee and the 90-Day Satisfaction Guarantee. We manage larger homes with pools, three bedrooms and up, on the water or within about 30 minutes of it, in the neighborhoods where design and hospitality set the nightly rate.

Now taking on new homes in Miami Beach

Yours Truly Hospitality already manages homes in Miami, across the causeways, so our cleaning, maintenance and design teams already work here. The homes that fit are the bayfront and island pool homes, three bedrooms and up, and the rare unit in a multifamily district where the city and the association both permit short stays. The first step is a Revenue Gap Audit on the address, with no obligation: Book a Revenue Gap Audit.

Yours Truly Hospitality has managed short-term rentals across Broward, Palm Beach and Miami-Dade counties since 2023.

The standard engagement.

Three guarantees attach to Full Service and Estate: no confirmed booking in the first 30 bookable days and the setup fee is refunded; leave for any reason between day 90 and day 120 and the setup fee is refunded; and, for homes with a full year of rental history, the Take-Home Guarantee, under which you take home at least what you did the year before or management is free until you do.

Miami Beach short-term rental rules

Miami Beach defines a vacation or short-term rental as a stay of less than six months and one day, and prohibits it in all single-family homes and in many multifamily buildings; it is allowed only in specific multifamily districts on the city's zoning map. Where it is permitted, the unit needs a Vacation/Short-Term Rental Business Tax Receipt and a Resort Tax account, a Certificate of Use, a notarized affidavit, a recent letter from the association confirming short-term rental is allowed for the unit, and both numbers displayed in every advertisement. The city does not publish its fine schedule on those pages, so no fine figure is stated here, and we do not list a single-family home in Miami Beach for short stays. Miami-Dade's tourist development tax is 7% in Miami Beach on stays of six months or less. The county layer is in our Miami-Dade County requirements guide; the city's own page is here. Yours Truly Hospitality files every city, county and state registration a vacation rental needs, on the owner's behalf, before the first booking.

Miami Beach neighborhoods and homes that fit a seasonal lease

Miami Beach's single-family inventory sits on its islands and bayfront, and that is where a furnished seasonal lease earns. La Gorce Island holds large waterfront lots with private docks on Biscayne Bay. The Venetian Islands, Star, Palm and Hibiscus Islands, and the guard-gated Sunset Islands are bayfront single-family enclaves minutes from South Beach and the causeways to Brickell. Biscayne Point and Nautilus, in Mid-Beach and North Beach, add waterfront homes at a quieter pace. What earns here is a designed, furnished pool home with three bedrooms or more and a dock, leased for the winter season or the year.

Miami Beach owner questions

Is Airbnb legal in Miami Beach?

Not in a single-family home. Miami Beach prohibits vacation rentals, which it defines as stays of less than six months and one day, in all single-family homes and in many multifamily buildings, and permits them only in specific multifamily zoning districts with a Business Tax Receipt and a Resort Tax account. Yours Truly Hospitality does not list a Miami Beach house for short stays.

What does Yours Truly Hospitality offer a Miami Beach homeowner instead?

A furnished seasonal or annual lease of six months and a day or longer, managed to the same standard as a vacation rental: design and furnishing led by Justina McRae, professional photography, tenant screening, a written lease, cleaning and maintenance coordination and a monthly owner statement. The city's rule sets the lease length; it does not lower the standard or the rate a designed waterfront home commands.

What does management cost in Miami Beach?

Management is 20 to 25 percent of revenue in two published tiers: Full Service at 20 percent (the standard engagement) and Estate at 25 percent. Three guarantees attach to Full Service and Estate: the Zero Bookings Guarantee, the 90-Day Satisfaction Guarantee and, for homes with a full year of rental history, the Take-Home Guarantee. The onboarding fee is quoted per property, in writing, before you sign.

What kind of Miami Beach home earns the most on a seasonal lease?

A bayfront or island pool home with three bedrooms or more and a dock, furnished and designed for a tenant taking the winter season or the year. Seasonal tenants in Miami Beach pay for the water, the privacy and a home that is ready on day one, and a designed home leases faster and higher than an empty one. We model the home against comparable furnished leases first.

If you own a larger home in Miami Beach and want a manager who works inside the city's rule, furnishes and leases the home to the right tenant and puts the fee and the guarantees in writing, we should talk. Call +1-561-473-0466, email hello@yourstrulyhospitality.com, or book a Revenue Gap Audit.
