Sea Point sits on Cape Town's Atlantic Seaboard, between Signal Hill and the ocean, built around the Sea Point Promenade, Main Road and Regent Road. Houst manages short lets across the suburb, from sea-view apartments on Beach Road and High Level Road to flats above the shops and restaurants on Main Road, 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, Google and more. Listing on several platforms reaches international holidaymakers, couples on city breaks, remote workers on monthly stays and business travellers.
Our pricing data puts a two-bedroom, one-bathroom short let in Sea Point at an average of R2,776 a night with 73% occupancy. That works out at around R740,000 a year before costs. We took four readings across the suburb, on Main Road, Beach Road, Regent Road and High Level Road, and averaged them. Nightly rates ran from R2,299 on Main Road to R3,115 on Beach Road.
Demand peaks from December to February, when summer and the festive season fill the promenade, and stays steady through the rest of the year. Remote workers and longer stays keep winter busier than in most beach suburbs. Figures will vary with size, finish and exact location.
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.

Houst works on a single commission, starting from 14% for full-time management and from 20% for part-time, set according to your property and its location. There are no setup fees and no monthly charges. You only pay when we earn you a booking, so our income is tied directly to yours. That rate covers the full service: dynamic pricing, professional photography, listings across multiple platforms, guest vetting and communication, check-ins, cleaning and turnover coordination, and a dashboard that shows your performance in real time. No hidden extras, no surprise line items, just one transparent percentage on the revenue we generate. For owners weighing up management against going it alone, or running more than one property, that structure keeps the maths simple: you can see your likely net return after our fee before committing a single rand.

Short lets in Cape Town fall under the City of Cape Town's by-laws and national building regulations rather than a dedicated short-let licensing regime. Properties used for short-term accommodation may require consent from the City, and sectional title owners should check their body corporate rules and scheme management rules, which can restrict or prohibit short-term letting. All rental income from short-let properties is taxable under South African income tax regulations and must be declared. The regulatory environment is evolving and varies by property type and zoning. Our team manages compliance as part of the service, and you can read the full detail in our guide to Cape Town's short-term rental regulations.
Sea Point suits short lets because guests get the sea and the city in one place. The Sea Point Promenade runs the length of the suburb with the Sea Point Pavilion pool at one end, Main Road and Regent Road have restaurants, cafes and shops, and Lion's Head and Signal Hill rise behind. MyCiTi buses run along the coast to the city centre, and the V&A Waterfront is around ten minutes away by car.
Housing is mostly apartments: sea-facing blocks along Beach Road, larger flats with views on High Level Road, and older blocks above the shops on Main Road and Regent Road, which suit couples, remote workers and longer stays. We manage across the Atlantic Seaboard, including Camps Bay, Green Point, Fresnaye, Bantry Bay and Three Anchor Bay. For the wider city, see Airbnb management in Cape Town.
