Vacation Rental Management in Plantation, Florida
Updated: Nov 1
Yours Truly Hospitality manages vacation rentals in Plantation, Florida, and is taking on new homes there now. Plantation is an inland Broward County city of large lots, lakes and golf communities about fifteen minutes west of Fort Lauderdale beach, and one of the more careful cities in the county about short-term rentals, so the first thing we do on any Plantation home is answer the zoning question in writing. We already manage a home 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 Plantation
Yours Truly Hospitality already manages a pool home in Plantation, so the registration, the insurance certificate, the annual inspection and the guest log the city requires are a process we already run here. The homes that fit are the larger pool homes on lakes and acre lots, three bedrooms and up, the house a family or a group of golfers chooses over a condo. 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.
What management includes in Plantation
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.
Plantation short-term rental rules
Owners should know two things before listing in Plantation. First, Florida law prevents cities from banning vacation rentals or limiting how often a home is rented, unless the rule predates June 1, 2011. Second, Plantation's residential zoning definition of a family, which limits a dwelling to three unrelated persons, does predate 2011, and the city has relied on it. Whether a home can operate as a vacation rental therefore depends on the property. Where it can, Chapter 14, Article V of the city code requires a separate registration for each vacation rental, a liability insurance certificate, an annual safety inspection and a three-year guest log; the city's fees are confirmed with the City Clerk rather than restated here. Broward County collects a 6% tourist development tax on stays of six months or less. The detail is in our Plantation rules 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.
Plantation neighborhoods and homes that fit
Plantation is an inland suburb about fifteen minutes from Fort Lauderdale beach, built on large lots, lakes and golf courses. Plantation Acres is the city's estate district, spacious parcels with an equestrian feel and many without association restrictions, which matters when the end use is rental. Hawks Landing is a gated community of custom homes on the golf course. Plantation Isles is a waterfront single-family neighborhood on the city's canals, and Jacaranda Lakes holds lakeside homes inside the larger Jacaranda area. What earns in Plantation is a pool home with three bedrooms or more, a yard and parking for a family or a group, priced against the guest who wants space rather than sand.
Plantation owner questions
Is Airbnb legal in Plantation?
It depends on the property. Plantation registers vacation rentals under Chapter 14, Article V of its code, but its pre-2011 zoning definition of a family limits a dwelling to three unrelated persons, and the city has relied on that rule. Yours Truly Hospitality confirms with the city whether the specific home can operate before listing it, and if it cannot we say so before you spend anything on furnishing.
What does vacation rental management cost in Plantation?
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 Plantation?
Yes. Yours Truly Hospitality manages a pool home in Plantation today, alongside homes in Oakland Park, Pompano Beach, Deerfield Beach, Hallandale Beach, West Palm Beach and Miami. The city registration, the insurance certificate, the annual inspection and the three-year guest log are things we already do here, and our cleaning and maintenance teams already work nearby.
Who rents a vacation home in Plantation instead of on the beach?
Families visiting relatives in western Broward, groups in town for events in Fort Lauderdale, golfers, and longer stays from relocating executives and medical visitors. They choose a large pool home with a yard and parking, fifteen minutes from the beach, over a smaller place on the sand. We price the home against that guest, not against oceanfront comps.
If you own a larger home in Plantation 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.
