Short-term letting in Alexandra Headland

Alexandra Headland occupies the short stretch of coast between Maroochydore and Mooloolaba, and its short-stay market is almost entirely apartments. Complexes along Alexandra Parade face the patrolled beach and the Alex Surf Club, with older three-storey walk-ups behind them on Mari Street and Buderim Avenue and a few newer buildings on the headland itself. Most are body corporate schemes with resident managers, so letting rights and by-laws are the first thing to check before appointing anyone.

The suburb attracts guests who want to walk to both Mooloolaba's restaurants and Maroochydore's shopping without paying Esplanade prices. Surfers favour the point break, and the headland's parks and the coastal path draw families and older couples. Demand peaks over Christmas and January, Easter and the June to July school holidays, and the Ironman 70.3 Sunshine Coast course runs directly along Alexandra Parade in September, which lifts occupancy for the weekend and closes the road on race morning.

Alexandra Headland sits in Sunshine Coast Council. There is no registration scheme, but dwellings offered for 28 days or less are rated as transitory accommodation. Apartments in the high density residential and tourist accommodation zones along the beachfront are generally permitted under the Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme 2014.

The beach is across the road for most properties and Sunshine Coast Airport is roughly 15 to 20 minutes by car. Management fees across the coast typically run 15 to 25 per cent of bookings and vary with the services included.

Alexandra Headland Airbnb management: common questions

Is short stay letting allowed in my Alexandra Headland apartment?

Generally yes under the Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme 2014 for buildings in high density residential and tourist accommodation zones along the beachfront, and Sunshine Coast Council has no registration requirement. Body corporate by-laws and management rights agreements are the more common obstacle.

Will Sunshine Coast Council rate my unit differently?

Yes. Sunshine Coast Council applies a transitory accommodation rate category to dwellings let for 28 days or less. Unit rates in this category rose modestly for 2026-27, in line with other categories, while houses faced a larger increase.

Does the Ironman race affect my property?

Ironman 70.3 Sunshine Coast on 13 September 2026 uses Alexandra Parade for the run and bike course. Road closures restrict vehicle access on race morning, but occupancy and rates for the weekend are usually well above normal.

Is Alexandra Headland a family or couples market?

Both. Families take the two and three bedroom units in school holidays, while couples and surfers book shorter stays in one bedroom units through the shoulder months. Listings that suit both, with parking and a beach view, perform best.

How do older walk-up units compare with beachfront towers?

Walk-ups on Mari Street and Buderim Avenue earn lower nightly rates but have lower body corporate fees and cleaning costs. They can produce a comparable net return if they are well presented and priced for the beach-to-budget guest.

How far is the airport from Alexandra Headland?

Sunshine Coast Airport is about 15 to 20 minutes by car. The beach, surf club and coastal path are within walking distance of almost every apartment in the suburb.
