We list on Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo/Stayz and more, syncing calendars and pricing from one dashboard. Burleigh Heads attracts strong leisure demand year-round, with January and February the peak months and consistent weekend bookings from domestic travellers who prefer the beach-village atmosphere. We set minimum nights for school holidays, the GC500 and summer peak weekends to protect nightly rates, then keep mid-week availability open at competitive prices to maintain occupancy in the quieter parts of the calendar.
A two-bedroom short-term rental in Burleigh Heads earns around A$396 a night at about 72% occupancy, which works out near A$103,500 a year before costs. Burleigh Heads consistently delivers strong returns driven by its reputation as the Gold Coast's most coveted surf and lifestyle beach. The guest base is exceptionally loyal, with domestic visitors returning year after year for the beach, Burleigh Heads National Park and the area's independent cafe and restaurant scene on James Street.
The team is professional, responsive, and truly understands what it takes to manage short-term rentals effectively.

For the past year, my Houst contact has been incredibly helpful - coordinating repairs, upgrades, and even being on-site when needed. Super reliable and accommodating.
The staff is available 24/7. Messages sent are replied to very quickly. The information about the properties is detailed and clear. Everything goes very smoothly.
The house is well maintained and clean, the dashboard provides up to date and historical information & the guests are taken care of.

Houst manages short-term rental properties across Burleigh Heads, from beachfront apartments and units close to the rock pools and national park to houses and townhouses in the residential streets behind the beach. We handle listing creation, professional photography, dynamic pricing, guest communications, housekeeping and maintenance end-to-end.
Burleigh has built a strong repeat-guest culture. Many visitors return to the same suburb year after year, favouring it for its beach quality, the dining scene along James Street and proximity to Burleigh Heads National Park. Properties here benefit from high review scores when well managed, which compounds occupancy over time. The mix of houses, townhouses and low-rise apartments gives owners a wider range of property types to work with compared to the high-rise stock further north.
