Yours Truly Hospitality manages vacation rentals in Oakland Park, Florida, and is taking on new homes there now. Oakland Park sits directly west of Fort Lauderdale beach, close enough that a pool home on one of its lakes or canals books like a coastal property, and the city runs one of the clearest registration programs in Broward County. We already operate homes here.

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 Oakland Park

Yours Truly Hospitality already manages homes in Oakland Park and has been through the city's registration and inspection more than once. The homes that do best with us are pool homes on the lakes and canals east of I-95, three bedrooms and up. 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.

Vacation Rental Management in Oakland Park, Florida: Yours Truly Hospitality Is Taking On New Homes (2026)

What management includes in Oakland Park

Management is 20 to 25 percent of revenue, in two published tiers.

  • Full Service, 20 percent. Guest operations (listing build and channel management across Airbnb, Vrbo and direct booking, guest vetting, all guest communication at any hour, review management, a guest welcome guide for the home), plus revenue management (dynamic pricing and minimum-stay adjustments reviewed daily, seasonal and event strategy), vetted cleaning and maintenance teams, maintenance handled at any hour and around the clock in an emergency, quarterly preventative maintenance checks, pool, lawn and exterior coordination, on-call repair contractors, vendor management and quality control, smart locks, noise monitoring, pre-launch staging and professional photography arranged by us, a light design package at onboarding (Need, Highly Recommend, Nice to Have), a monthly owner statement and an owner portal. The standard engagement.

  • Estate, 25 percent. Everything in Full Service plus in-house interior design and furnishing led by Justina McRae, guest and household supplies covered, routine maintenance visits covered, and priority owner response, for waterfront and estate homes with a higher-touch requirement.

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. The onboarding fee is quoted per property, in writing.

Oakland Park short-term rental rules

Oakland Park regulates vacation rentals under Ordinance 0-2018-005, amended in 2021. A home rented more than three times a year for stays under thirty days is a vacation rental and must be registered before the first guest arrives. The city charges $500 for the initial registration, $250 for the annual renewal and $150 for the inspection, and a change of ownership starts the registration over. The city also wants the state DBPR license, the Florida Department of Revenue registration, the Broward County tourist tax registration and business tax receipt, a parking sketch, a responsible party reachable around the clock and an evacuation map in every bedroom. Occupancy is capped at two persons per bedroom and eight in total. Broward County adds a 6% tourist development tax on stays of six months or less. The full filing is in our Oakland Park registration guide and the Broward County requirements guide. Yours Truly Hospitality files every city, county and state registration a vacation rental needs, on the owner's behalf, before the first booking.

Oakland Park neighborhoods and homes that fit

Oakland Park is an inland city about ten to fifteen minutes from Fort Lauderdale beach. The homes that fit our portfolio are east of I-95 in the Corals: Coral Heights, where most canals reach the ocean under fixed bridges, and the adjoining Coral Woods and Central Corals, well kept single-family streets a short drive from the sand. Royal Palm Acres, on the city's lakes and canal frontage, suits a pool home with a dock. What earns here is a pool home with three bedrooms or more, a yard and a design that reads as Fort Lauderdale to a guest searching by the beach.

Oakland Park owner questions

Is Airbnb legal in Oakland Park?

Yes. Oakland Park permits vacation rentals and registers them under its short-term rental ordinance. A home rented more than three times a year for stays under thirty days must be registered with the city, pass an inspection and carry the state and county registrations first. Yours Truly Hospitality files all of it before the first booking and tracks the renewal.

What does vacation rental management cost in Oakland Park?

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.

Does Yours Truly Hospitality already manage homes in Oakland Park?

Yes. Oakland Park is one of the cities where Yours Truly Hospitality already operates, alongside Pompano Beach, Deerfield Beach, Hallandale Beach, Plantation, West Palm Beach and Miami. The city registration, the inspection checklist and the in-home postings are things we have already done here, not things we would be learning on your property.

What kind of Oakland Park home earns the most as a vacation rental?

A pool home with three bedrooms or more, on a lake or canal or a short drive from Fort Lauderdale beach. Guests searching Fort Lauderdale see Oakland Park listings, and a designed pool home with a dock or lake view competes with beach-area homes on rate. We model the home against its comparable set before quoting a number.

If you own a larger home in Oakland Park and want a manager who already operates in the city 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.
