Easter and the winter months bring visitors escaping the cold in the southern states, and the airport keeps weekend demand steady through the rest of the year.

Most full-service Airbnb managers charge a percentage of booking revenue rather than a flat fee. Houst charges 14% for full-time management and 20% for part-time in Currumbin. That covers listing setup, professional photography, dynamic pricing, guest messaging and cleaning coordination.

In Currumbin, where guests compare listings along the southern beaches, getting those few things right drives most of your bookings. Houst handles all of them for you.
It depends on how much of the work you hand over. A co-host who only handles messages costs less than a manager who runs pricing, cleaning and maintenance as well. Houst takes 14% of booking revenue for full-time management and 20% for part-time, so the fee moves with what your Currumbin property earns.

Running a short stay takes work: pricing, guest messages, cleans and repairs between every booking.
