Mermaid Waters is a residential suburb just inland from Mermaid Beach, built around lakes and canals, with Broadbeach a short drive north. Houst manages short-stay homes across the suburb, from canal-front houses with pools and jetties to townhouses and low-rise units, and handles pricing, guests and cleaning so you earn without the day-to-day work.

The commission is based on the property type and location
List on Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo/Stayz, Google and more. Listing on several platforms reaches holidaying families, larger groups, school holiday stays and longer winter visits looking for more space and a private pool close to the beach.
Our pricing data puts a two-bedroom, one-bathroom short stay in Mermaid Waters at an average of A$386 a night with 70% occupancy. That works out at around A$98,500 a year before costs. We took four readings across the suburb, on Sunshine Boulevard, Markeri Street, Hooker Boulevard and Bermuda Street, and averaged them. Nightly rates ran from A$351 on Bermuda Street to A$423 on Sunshine Boulevard.
Demand peaks over the summer school holidays from December to January, when families book larger homes near the beach. Easter and the winter months bring visitors escaping the cold in the southern states, and group stays keep weekends steady through the rest of the year. Figures will vary with size, finish and exact location. See how the suburb compares in our Gold Coast Airbnb earnings guide.

Mermaid Waters suits short stays because guests get bigger homes, quiet streets and water views, with the beach and the restaurants of Broadbeach a short drive away. Many houses back onto the canals, which draws families and groups looking for a pool, an outdoor area and room to spread out.
Housing is mostly detached family homes, many on the water, with townhouses and low-rise units on the main roads through the suburb. These suit families, larger groups and longer winter stays. We manage across Mermaid Waters and the suburbs around it, including Mermaid Beach, Broadbeach, Bundall and Miami. For the wider city, see Airbnb management on the Gold Coast.
