Profit
Is an Airbnb in Rincón de Sabanilla Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Rincón de Sabanilla Airbnb took in ₡3,522,832 in the 12 months to November 2025, an average that counts every active listing, including those open only part of the year. A listing in the top quarter took in about ₡5,697,000, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about ₡349,000 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.

- Open for the busy months. August brought the average listing about ₡602,000, against ₡317,000 in April, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
