Furnished Unitsin Caloundra.

“Caloundra has five beaches and never feels crowded.”

Caloundra sits at the southern end of the Sunshine Coast, 30km south of Maroochydore, and is one of Queensland's oldest beach holiday destinations. The suburb's geography gives it five distinct beaches within walking distance of each other — Kings Beach (the main swimming beach), Bulcock Beach (sheltered, family-friendly), Happy Valley, Moffat Beach (popular with surfers) and Shelly Beach. The character is more relaxed and family-oriented than the Maroochydore-Mooloolaba corridor — less polished, more multi-generational, with a substantial retiree population alongside a growing professional-couple and family demographic priced out of the central Sunshine Coast. The renter market includes retirees in long-held beachfront apartments, families with school-age children attracted by the schools and beaches, hospitality workers connected to the Bulcock Street precinct, and a smaller cohort of corporate transferees. Housing stock is mixed: 1970s–90s low-rise apartments along Kings Beach and Bulcock Beach, post-2010 mid-rise developments around Bulcock Street, and substantial freestanding houses inland through Caloundra West and Pelican Waters. Walk Score in the Kings Beach core is high. Translink buses run to Maroochydore (35 min) and Brisbane via the Bruce Highway (75 min). Sunshine Coast Airport is 40 minutes north. Civic anchors include the Caloundra RSL (one of Queensland's largest), the Caloundra Music Festival, Pelican Waters Golf Club, Bulcock Beach Markets and the Aussie World theme park 15km west. Typical furnished tenants are retirees in long-stay apartments, families with school-age children, hospitality workers, and corporate transferees seeking a quieter Sunshine Coast base. Adjacent precincts include Pelican Waters (south, golf-and-canal estate), Currimundi (north, more residential) and Dicky Beach (north, surf-fronted).
