Profit

Is an Airbnb in Area H (Lighthouse Country) Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Area H (Lighthouse Country) Airbnb took in CA$44,303 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about CA$2,480 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$4,190 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the CA$3,550 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about CA$2,770 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about CA$2,140 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.
