Gross bookings per São Francisco do Sul listing averaged R$25,473 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Santa Catarina average: R$39,183), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average São Francisco do Sul listing brings in R$8,320 in January, its best month, and R$1,910 in August, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 44% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn R$8,420+ a month, about 3.3 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn R$5,040 or more, roughly R$2,500 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about R$2,560 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn R$1,180 or less, about 46% of the median.

Profit

Is an Airbnb in São Francisco do Sul Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average São Francisco do Sul Airbnb took in R$25,473 in the 12 months to September 2026, an average that counts every active listing, including those open only part of the year. A listing in the top quarter took in about R$50,120, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about R$2,980 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money.

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 São Francisco do Sul's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of São Francisco do Sul listings are booked on 38% or more of their nights, against 20% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of R$405 adds about R$4,040 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge R$595 a night or more, against a median of R$405. 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$2,370 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, January brings the average listing about R$8,320, against R$1,910 in August, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. São Francisco do Sul listings average 4.86 stars, and 43% 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$4,180 a month, against R$2,120 for the average one.
