Yours Truly Hospitality manages vacation rentals in Sunny Isles Beach, Florida, and is taking on new homes there now. Sunny Isles Beach is the oceanfront strip between Haulover and Golden Beach, known for its towers, but its Intracoastal side holds single-family islands with docks, and the city licenses short-term rentals under a clear program that draws its line at six months. We file that license for owners, and the fee and our guarantees are in writing.

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 Sunny Isles Beach

Yours Truly Hospitality already manages a home in Hallandale Beach, minutes north, so our cleaning and maintenance teams already work here. The homes that fit are the single-family waterfront pool homes on Golden Shores, Atlantic Isle and Poinciana Island, three bedrooms and up, and the tower unit whose association permits 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.

Vacation Rental Management in Sunny Isles Beach, Florida: Yours Truly Hospitality Is Taking On New Homes (2026)

What management includes in Sunny Isles Beach

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.

Sunny Isles Beach short-term rental rules

Sunny Isles Beach treats any rental of six months or less as a short-term rental and requires a Short-Term Vacation Rental License before the unit is advertised, leased or rented, under Ordinance 2018-522; a single-family home rented for less than six months is licensed through the Code Compliance Department. On the city's page the Local Business Tax Receipt is $100, the Vacation Rental License is $300 and a late payment carries a $50 fee; each unit needs its own license. Occupancy is two persons per bedroom plus two per property, up to twelve. The responsible party must answer around the clock, live in South Florida, respond in person within one hour, keep a guest list open to city inspection and inspect the unit after every stay. Miami-Dade County collects a 6% tourist development tax 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.

Sunny Isles Beach neighborhoods and homes that fit

Sunny Isles Beach is a mile-wide barrier island, so every home is minutes from the ocean and the towers hold most of the population. The single-family homes that fit our portfolio sit on the Intracoastal side. Golden Shores, along North Bay Road, is a neighborhood of waterfront homes with docks. Atlantic Isle is a small bridged peninsula with the largest lots in the city, and Poinciana Island is a guarded private island of bayfront residences. What earns here is a waterfront pool home with three bedrooms or more and a dock, designed for the guest who wants Sunny Isles' beach and Aventura's shopping without a hotel tower, and who will pay for the privacy.

Sunny Isles Beach owner questions

Is Airbnb legal in Sunny Isles Beach?

Yes, with a city Short-Term Vacation Rental License obtained before the unit is advertised. Sunny Isles Beach licenses any rental of six months or less, licenses single-family homes through Code Compliance, and caps occupancy at two per bedroom plus two. Yours Truly Hospitality files the license, the city business tax receipt, the state DBPR license and the Miami-Dade registrations before the first booking.

What does vacation rental management cost in Sunny Isles 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.

Can a Sunny Isles Beach condo be a vacation rental?

The city licenses condominium units, but the building's documents decide first, and most oceanfront towers restrict lease frequency or minimum terms. Those rules bind the owner whatever the city allows. Yours Truly Hospitality reads the association documents before modeling a number. Where the tower bars short stays we say so and talk through a seasonal lease instead.

What kind of Sunny Isles Beach home earns the most as a vacation rental?

A waterfront pool home with three bedrooms or more and a dock on Golden Shores, Atlantic Isle or Poinciana Island. Guests searching Sunny Isles see thousands of tower units and almost no houses, and a designed single-family home with a pool and a boat slip has little direct competition. We model the home against its comparable set first.

If you own a larger home in Sunny Isles Beach and want a manager who files the city license for you 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.
