Profit
Is an Airbnb in Içara Profitable?
Yes, as extra income from a home or room you already have. The average Içara Airbnb took in R$20,441 in the 12 months to October 2026, counting listings open only part of the year, and a listing in the top quarter, run by its owner at everyday costs, keeps about R$2,050 a month after running costs.
These amounts come before housing costs. Where the mortgage or rent is less each month, the difference is profit; a home owned outright keeps it all after property tax, home insurance and any building or condo fees.

How Içara's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Içara listings are booked on 49% or more of their nights, against 26% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of R$205 adds about R$2,030 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge R$295 a night or more, against a median of R$205. That is a separate ranking from the busiest quarter, so the two marks don't multiply into one listing's takings. For the average listing, a 10% higher rate on the nights it already books adds about R$1,900 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, December brings the average listing about R$3,730, against R$1,610 in May, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Içara listings average 4.80 stars, and 62% carry Airbnb's Guest Favorite badge, which guests can filter for.
What a listing keeps comes down to the figures this page measures: nightly rate, nights booked and the months it's open. A listing at the top-quarter mark takes in about R$3,060 a month, against R$1,700 for the average one.
