About

Built by hosts who got tired of answering messages at midnight.

Coastal Key Stays runs the entire operational side of short-stay hosting for owners across Geelong, the Bellarine Peninsula, Ocean Grove and the Surf Coast — the listing, the guests, and the payout, end to end.

We started managing a single property in Ocean Grove and kept getting asked the same question by other owners: "who's doing this for you?" That question became the business.

Every property we manage runs on a full-service model. We operate the listing directly — guests, pricing, cleaners, reviews and payments — and pay you a clear monthly payout. You keep ownership of the property; we run the operation around it.

It's a structure that works because our incentives are aligned with yours — we only do well when your listing does, and every dollar we earn is a transparent share of what you earn too.

Full ownership stays yours

We manage the listing and operation — the property itself is always yours.

Transparent fees

One flat management fee and one technology fee, itemised in every monthly payout.

Local to the region

Based in Geelong and focused only on the Bellarine, Ocean Grove and the Surf Coast — we know the local short-stay levy, owners corporation rules and council requirements street by street.
