Yours Truly Hospitality manages vacation rentals in Wilton Manors, Florida, and is taking on new homes there now. Wilton Manors is the island city between the North and South Forks of the Middle River, a few minutes from Fort Lauderdale beach and Las Olas, and it registers vacation rentals under a clear certificate of compliance program. We already manage homes in neighboring Oakland Park, we file the city registration 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 Wilton Manors

Yours Truly Hospitality already manages homes in Oakland Park, which shares Wilton Manors' northern boundary, so our cleaning and maintenance teams already work here. The homes that fit are pool homes on the river and the canals, three bedrooms and up, the house a group chooses over a Fort Lauderdale hotel for the pool, the dock and the walk to Wilton Drive. 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 Wilton Manors, Florida: Yours Truly Hospitality Is Taking On New Homes (2026)

What management includes in Wilton Manors

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.

Wilton Manors short-term rental rules

Wilton Manors makes it unlawful to advertise, promote or operate a vacation rental unless the owner has registered it with the city and been issued a certificate of compliance, under Chapter 10, Article XIII of the city code. An owner who lives on the property is exempt. The new registration is $375 and includes the first inspections, the annual renewal is $350, a re-inspection is $150 and late payment is $100, plus a city business tax receipt. Every registration expires September 30. Overnight occupancy is two persons per sleeping room plus two in a common area, the responsible party must answer around the clock and be on site within sixty minutes, and the certificate and three placards are posted inside the front door. Broward County collects a 6% tourist development tax on stays of six months or less. The county layer is in our Broward 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.

Wilton Manors neighborhoods and homes that fit

Wilton Manors is small, under two square miles, and bounded by the river on nearly every side, so almost every street is minutes from the water and the ocean is a short drive east. The east side, the Three Bridges area and the streets along the North and South Forks hold the single-family river and canal homes with docks and pools that fit our portfolio. Highland Estates, on the North Fork, and the central neighborhoods behind Wilton Drive add larger lots. What earns here is a pool home with three bedrooms or more on the river or a canal, walkable to Wilton Drive.

Wilton Manors owner questions

Is Airbnb legal in Wilton Manors?

Yes, once the home is registered with the city and holds a certificate of compliance. Wilton Manors makes it unlawful to advertise or operate a vacation rental without one, inspects the home before issuing it, and renews every registration on September 30. Yours Truly Hospitality files the registration, the city business tax receipt, the state DBPR license and the Broward County registrations before the first booking.

What does vacation rental management cost in Wilton Manors?

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 does Wilton Manors charge to register a vacation rental?

On the city's application packet, a new registration is $375 and includes the first inspections, the annual renewal is $350, a re-inspection is $150 and a late payment is $100, plus a city business tax receipt. The state DBPR license and the Broward County tourist tax registration sit on top. We build those costs into the revenue model before you sign.

What kind of Wilton Manors home earns the most as a vacation rental?

A pool home with three bedrooms or more on the Middle River or a canal, with a dock, within walking distance of Wilton Drive. Guests choose Wilton Manors for the neighborhood as much as the beach, and a designed river home with a pool competes on rate with Fort Lauderdale homes closer to the sand. We model the home against its comparable set first.

If you own a larger home in Wilton Manors and want a manager who already operates next door, files the registration 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.
