By the numbers

The average local Airbnb sits empty roughly 4 to 5 nights in every 10. Small changes to listing, pricing and guest experience separate the top performers from the rest.

Market figures are trailing-12-month averages for all short-term rental listings, not only 2-bedroom homes; vendors measure differently, so ranges are shown.

Randi's figure is a recent 30-day snapshot across two listings, not an annual average, and past results don't guarantee future bookings.

Randi on a Sunshine Coast beach

Hi, I'm Randi

I host two vacation rentals on the Sunshine Coast: Soak & Sea, where I live on site, and Redwood Cottage, a cottage I manage for its owner on Airbnb and Vrbo.

I know what makes guests leave five stars and what makes them message at 10 PM asking where the towels are. I'd love to help you get it right from day one.
