List on Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and more from a single dashboard. Multi-platform exposure maximises visibility for your Harbourside property with leisure tourists, arts visitors and corporate guests drawn by the SS Great Britain, Arnolfini and Bristol's waterfront dining scene.
A well-run two-bedroom in Harbourside averages £204 per night at 75% occupancy, generating around £55,815 in annual gross revenue. The Harbourside ties with Bristol City Centre for the highest occupancy in the cluster, driven by strong event-led demand from Harbourside festivals throughout summer and the year-round appeal of the SS Great Britain, Arnolfini and waterfront dining to leisure visitors. The Bristol Balloon Fiesta in August and Ashton Court Festival add significant demand spikes, while year-round corporate demand from Bristol's tech and creative sector adds a steady weekday occupancy layer beyond the leisure peaks.
The team is professional, responsive, and truly understands what it takes to manage short-term rentals effectively.
I’ve been incredibly lucky with Alex Taylor: professional, friendly, and always helpful. He’s handled everything brilliantly - I’d give him 6 stars if I could.
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.

Houst charges 14% for a fully managed full-time service or 20% for a part-time option if you prefer to host yourself some of the time. There are no setup fees and no long-term contracts. You pay only when your Harbourside property earns.
Before you list, check the local rules. In Bristol, short-term letting of a whole property may require a change of use to Class C5 under planning rules if you intend to let the property for more than 90 nights per year. Bristol City Council enforces this requirement. Houst guides every host through the compliance checklist before going live.
See our Bristol Airbnb planning rules for the full breakdown.
