Profit
Is an Airbnb in Garita Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Garita Airbnb took in ₡6,078,172 in the 12 months to October 2025, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about ₡370,000 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 ₡773,000 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 Garita's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Garita listings are booked on 39% or more of their nights, against 23% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of ₡71,700 adds about ₡717,000 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge ₡108,000 a night or more, against a median of ₡71,700. 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 ₡608,000 a year.
- Open for the busy months. December brought the average listing about ₡981,000, against ₡399,000 in October, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
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 ₡1,048,000 a month, against ₡507,000 for the average one.
