Revenue
Gross bookings per Playa Larga listing averaged $1,678 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Matanzas average: $4,019), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Playa Larga listing brings in $376 in August, its best month, and $304 in April, its slowest. Both ends are close calls: August leads January by 1%, and April sits just 2% below October, so either pair can swap places in a given year. The swing is mild: the best month earns about 23% more than the slowest.
In a typical month, a top-quarter listing earns at least 4.3 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
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
Yes, as extra income from a home or room you already have. The average Playa Larga Airbnb took in $1,678 in the 12 months to September 2026, counting listings open only part of the year, and a listing in the top quarter, run by its owner at everyday costs, keeps about $220 a month after running costs.
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.
