Profit

Is an Airbnb in Santa Cruz de Barahona Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Santa Cruz de Barahona Airbnb took in DOP 322,581 in the 12 months to September 2026, an average that counts every active listing, including those open only part of the year. A listing in the top quarter took in about DOP 508,400, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about DOP 29,600 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.

How Santa Cruz de Barahona's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Santa Cruz de Barahona listings are booked on 34% or more of their nights, against 22% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of DOP 4,515 adds about DOP 45,100 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge DOP 7,275 a night or more, against a median of DOP 4,515. 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 DOP 30,200 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. July brought the average listing about DOP 82,000, against DOP 34,000 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Santa Cruz de Barahona listings average 4.80 stars, and 35% carry Airbnb's Guest Favorite badge, which guests can filter for.

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 DOP 42,400 a month, against DOP 26,900 for the average one.
