Who it’s for

This co-host is geared towards Ohio Valley property owners who want a national reach without being tied to a physical local office. Owners who appreciate a focus on remote operations and a potentially smaller, more agile team might find Checkmate Rentals appealing.

Our take

Checkmate Rentals operates remotely across 25+ states, managing properties from their Pittsburgh headquarters. Their management fee starts at 15% of the nightly rate. While the number of listings is undisclosed, they emphasize clean remote co-host economics and that the owner retains account access, with a generally small team.

Verdict

Checkmate Rentals provides a remote co-hosting option with a transparent fee structure. For an owner-first alternative, consider One Fine BnB.
