Furnished, bills included, and the agreement runs exactly as long as you need it to.

a hotel nighta 12-month lease

One week to 24 months is what EzyFlats rents in Caloundra. Most stays land between one and twelve weeks, which is the part of the year hotels price badly and agents will not let you have.

What counts as a medium-term rental?

Australian renting is built around two extremes. Short-stay platforms are priced by the night and get punishing past about a month. Traditional agencies want twelve months, a rental history and a queue of applicants at a Saturday inspection. Neither fits someone who needs somewhere to live in Caloundra for six weeks.

Medium-term is the space in between — typically one to twelve weeks, though it stretches from a single week to two full years. The home comes furnished with bills included, the agreement is written and signed digitally, and the term is whatever you actually need.

Medium-term agreements in Queensland

Queensland separates short-stay accommodation from residential tenancies, so a medium-term booking is documented as a short-stay agreement with the deposit held by EzyFlats rather than lodged with the Residential Tenancies Authority.

Staying in Caloundra

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).

Medium-term rentals in Caloundra — common questions

How long is a medium-term rental in Caloundra?

Medium-term sits between a short stay and a standard residential lease — longer than a holiday booking, shorter than a twelve-month commitment. On EzyFlats in Caloundra that means anything from one week to 24 months, and most stays run between one and twelve weeks.

How is it different from a short-term rental?

Short-stay platforms price by the night and get expensive past about a month, with cleaning and service fees stacked on top. A medium-term rental is priced weekly, includes bills, furniture and Wi-Fi, and comes with a written agreement rather than a booking confirmation.

Do I need to sign a 12-month lease?

No. That is the point of the category. You commit to the term you actually need in Caloundra — a week, a season, or up to two years — with no rollover and no lock-in.

What is included?

Every home is fully furnished with bills and Wi-Fi included, so there is nothing to connect, buy or move in. Listings are pre-screened and every landlord is ID-verified.

How is my money protected?

Deposit held securely by EzyFlats until move-in. Rent is processed through Stripe, and the Move-In Guarantee refunds your first week's rent and service fee if the property does not match its listing.
