Profit
Is an Airbnb in Area G (Saltair / Gulf Islands) Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Area G (Saltair / Gulf Islands) Airbnb took in CA$27,766 in the 12 months to April 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about CA$1,660 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$2,880 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the CA$1,420 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about CA$1,770 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about CA$1,440 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.
