Paradise Point sits at the northern end of the Gold Coast on the Broadwater, looking across the water to South Stradbroke Island. Houst manages short-stay homes across the suburb, from waterfront apartments on The Esplanade to units and family houses on the streets behind, 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, couples, boating visitors and longer winter stays looking for a quiet waterfront base away from the busier beach suburbs.
Our pricing data puts a two-bedroom, one-bathroom short stay in Paradise Point at an average of A$291 a night with 70% occupancy. That works out at around A$74,500 a year before costs. We took four readings across the suburb, on The Esplanade, Paradise Parade, Ferry Street and Hope Street, and averaged them. Nightly rates ran from A$265 on Ferry Street to A$329 on Hope Street.
Demand peaks over the summer school holidays from December to January, when families come for the Broadwater and the beaches to the south. Easter and the winter months bring visitors escaping the cold in the southern states, and weekend boating trips keep the calendar 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.

Paradise Point suits short stays because guests get calm water, open parkland and a relaxed village feel, with the beaches of the central Gold Coast a drive south. The parklands along the Broadwater draw families for swimming, picnics and walks, and The Esplanade runs beside them with cafes, restaurants and shops.
Housing ranges from waterfront apartments on The Esplanade to low-rise units and family houses on the streets and canals behind, which suit families, couples and longer winter stays. We manage across Paradise Point and the suburbs around it, including Labrador, Southport, Main Beach and Surfers Paradise. For the wider city, see Airbnb management on the Gold Coast.
