How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Alert Bay?
Gross bookings per Alert Bay listing averaged CA$21,225 over the 12 months to October 2026 (British Columbia average: CA$48,118), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Alert Bay listing brings in CA$4,340 in August, its best month, and CA$1,560 in November, its slowest. March runs within 4% of November, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 37% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.
In a typical month, a top-quarter listing earns at least three times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn CA$4,920+ a month, about 2.4 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn CA$3,660 or more, roughly CA$1,600 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about CA$2,050 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn CA$1,200 or less, about 59% of the median.
These are monthly figures for listings active in each month. The annual average above also counts listings that operated for only part of the year, so it runs below twelve times these figures.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Alert Bay Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Alert Bay Airbnb took in CA$21,225 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about CA$1,230 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money. A listing in the top quarter leaves about CA$2,220 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the CA$760 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about CA$1,290 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about CA$1,060 a month.
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 Alert Bay's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Alert Bay listings are booked on 45% or more of their nights, against 31% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of CA$240 adds about CA$2,390 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge CA$280 a night or more, against a median of CA$240. 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 CA$2,050 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, August brings the average listing about CA$4,340, against CA$1,560 in November, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Alert Bay listings average 4.77 stars, and 27% 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 CA$3,160 a month, against CA$1,770 for the average one.
