Property Management in Caloundra
Caloundra is the Sunshine Coast's southern gateway, with beaches on one side and the Pumicestone Passage on the other. We manage Caloundra rentals as specialists, with no sales team and no divided attention.
What rentals in Caloundra are leasing for
These are the median weekly rents on new leases in Caloundra, taken from the bonds lodged with the Residential Tenancies Authority. They cover every rental in the suburb, whoever manages it.

| 2-bedroom unit | $650 a week | $620 (up 5%) | 22 | September quarter 2026 |
Source: Residential Tenancies Authority, median weekly rent on new bonds lodged. The RTA publishes a figure only where enough bonds were lodged in the quarter, so some property types are not shown.
A median is a starting point, not an appraisal. It takes in homes of every age, size and standard, so a well-presented property with the features tenants want can sit well above it, and a tired one below. Where yours sits is what a rental appraisal answers.
Renting in Caloundra
Caloundra combines an established town centre with some of the coast's most popular beaches, from Kings Beach and Bulcock Beach to Golden Beach along the Passage. Its rental stock is broad: beachside units and apartments, older houses on larger blocks, and townhouses close to shops, cafes and transport.
That variety brings a varied tenant pool. Retirees and downsizers want easy living near the water, professionals and health workers want access to the coast's hospitals and services, and families want established streets close to schools. Matching the right tenant to the right type of home matters more here than in a newer, more uniform suburb.
How we manage Caloundra rentals
Many Caloundra properties are units in body corporate buildings or older homes close to the coast. We work with body corporate managers on by-laws and common property, watch closely for salt air and weather wear at every routine inspection, and flag maintenance early so small issues don't become expensive ones.
Our screening looks at rental history, employment, references and whether the household suits your particular property. We attend every inspection ourselves and never hand out keys. Once a tenant is in, you get regular inspections with photographic reports, maintenance through our local Sunshine Coast trades with your approval before any spend, and a rent review every 12 months backed by current market data.
Smart Rentals has managed rentals on the Sunshine Coast for more than six years, and our Sunshine Coast clients rate us 4.8 out of 5 on Google.
