The commission is based on the property type and location
We list on Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo/Stayz and more, syncing calendars and pricing from one dashboard. Mermaid Beach attracts couples, families and interstate visitors looking for a beach suburb with a neighbourhood feel rather than a resort atmosphere. Demand peaks in summer and on long weekends, with January and February the strongest months. We set minimum nights for peak weekends and school-holiday periods to capture the premium, then price mid-week gaps to maintain steady occupancy.
A well-managed two-bedroom in Mermaid Beach typically achieves an average daily rate of A$390 and 67% occupancy, generating around A$95,375 in annual gross revenue. The ADR premium above the Gold Coast average reflects the suburb's beach-village positioning and guest willingness to pay for a quieter, more residential setting. Summer is the strongest period, January the peak month. Long weekends and school-holiday periods drive occupancy consistently above mid-week baselines, and minimum-night settings for those periods protect per-booking revenue.
Queensland short-term rental rules apply. Most Mermaid Beach properties are low-rise apartments or houses; check body corporate by-laws before listing if yours is in a strata scheme.
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.
The house is well maintained and clean, the dashboard provides up to date and historical information & the guests are taken care of.
I have had a brilliant experience renting my property through Houst. Everyone has been very hands on and contactable which has really put me at ease.

Commission is results-based: 14% for full-time management or 20% for part-time, and you only pay when bookings land. Every plan includes dynamic pricing, multi-platform listings, professional photography, 24/7 guest messaging and cleaning coordination. No setup fees, no lock-in contracts.
We set minimum nights for summer and long-weekend peaks to protect your nightly rate, then keep mid-week availability open at competitive prices to maintain occupancy between the stronger periods.
Before you list, check the local rules. On the Gold Coast, compliance usually comes down to zoning/approvals, building & fire safety, strata/lease permissions, and tax reporting. Use the full rules guide for details.

Houst manages short-let properties across Mermaid Beach, from apartments within walking distance of the beachfront to houses and townhouses a few streets back. We handle listing creation, professional photography, dynamic pricing, guest communications, housekeeping and maintenance end-to-end.
Mermaid Beach has a more residential character than Surfers Paradise or Broadbeach. Properties here tend to attract guests staying three to seven nights rather than one or two, which produces higher revenue per booking and lower cleaning frequency. The suburb's beach access at a non-commercial stretch of coastline is a genuine listing differentiator, and it positions well against the more commercialised northern suburbs for guests seeking a quieter stay.
