STR estimates based on Broadbeach beachfront comparable properties (Airbnb, VRBO, Stayz) at 75% annual occupancy. All rates are indicative. Actual returns depend on management quality, seasonality, refurbishment and marketing.

Short-Term vs Long-Term Rental

Short-Term Rental (Airbnb / VRBO)

  • Higher gross income potential (6–10% yield)
  • Flexibility to use apartment personally
  • Premium nightly rates in peak season
  • Strong demand from Gold Coast events calendar
  • Can block dates for personal use

Consider if: You want income flexibility, can absorb management fees (20–30%), and accept vacancy risk in off-peak months.

Long-Term Rental (12-month lease)

  • Predictable, consistent monthly income
  • Lower management cost (typically 8–10%)
  • Lower wear and tear / maintenance
  • No vacancy gaps — income every week
  • Simpler tax and accounting

Consider if: You want stable income, prefer lower involvement, or plan to hold long-term without personal use.

Self-Management

Experienced investors occasionally self-manage short-term stays using platforms like Airbnb. This maximises income but requires full availability for guest queries and maintenance. Consider the time cost before choosing this route for a holiday property.

How to Maximise Your Rental Return

01
Invest in Presentation

Professionally photographed, styled apartments achieve 20–30% more per night on short-term platforms. Quality bedding, a modern kitchen and a clean, neutral interior significantly boost booking rates and review scores.

02
Price Dynamically

Use dynamic pricing tools (PriceLabs, Beyond Pricing) to adjust nightly rates based on Gold Coast events, school holidays, and Broadbeach demand spikes. Static pricing leaves income on the table.

03
Get a Competitive Management Quote

Management fees vary from 18% to 35% of gross for short-term lets. Negotiate hard, check what's included (cleaning, guest communications, linen), and compare occupancy track records rather than just rates.

04
Understand Your Strata Rules

Check the body corporate by-laws on guest numbers, check-in procedures and noise restrictions before setting up short-term letting. Compliance protects you from disputes and potential fines.
