The Northern Beaches run north from Manly through Freshwater, Curl Curl, Dee Why, Collaroy and Narrabeen to Mona Vale, Avalon Beach and Palm Beach. Houst manages short lets along the coast, from beachfront apartments in Dee Why and Collaroy to family houses near the beaches further north, and handles pricing, guests and cleaning so you earn without the day-to-day work.

List on Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo, Stayz and more. Listing on several platforms reaches families on summer holidays, couples on weekend breaks, surfers and visitors from interstate and overseas.
Our pricing data puts a two-bedroom, one-bathroom short let on the Northern Beaches at an average of A$371 a night with 71% occupancy. That works out at around A$95,500 a year before costs. We took four readings across the region, on The Strand in Dee Why, Pittwater Road in Collaroy, Lawrence Street in Freshwater and Old Barrenjoey Road in Avalon Beach, and averaged them. Nightly rates ran from A$321 on Pittwater Road in Collaroy to A$427 on Old Barrenjoey Road in Avalon Beach.
Demand peaks from December to February, with summer and the school holidays. Long weekends and good surf lift weekend rates through the year. Figures will vary with size, finish and beach.

Each beach has its own guests, and we price each one on its own data. Dee Why and Collaroy suit families and longer stays with apartments close to the sand, Freshwater and Curl Curl draw surfers and couples, and Avalon Beach and Palm Beach attract guests looking for a quieter break. Buses run down to Manly and the city, and summer, the school holidays and long weekends are the busiest times.
We also manage across Sydney, including Manly, Bondi, Bronte and Sydney CBD. For the wider city, see Airbnb management in Sydney.
