Profit
Is an Airbnb in Puerto Cayo Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Puerto Cayo Airbnb took in $3,638 in the 12 months to October 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 $13,110, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $760 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 Puerto Cayo's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Puerto Cayo listings are booked on 27% or more of their nights, against 15% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $76 adds about $759 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $125 a night or more, against a median of $76. 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 $340 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, August brings the average listing about $1,120, against $363 in October, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Puerto Cayo listings average 4.76 stars, and 36% 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 $1,090 a month, against $300 for the average one.

Yes, when it's run well. The average Puerto Cayo Airbnb grossed US$3,638 in the 12 months to October 2026, 30% below the Manabí average of US$5,184, counting listings open only part of the year. A listing at the top-quarter mark, run by its owner with the cleaning fee covering the cleaner and everyday costs for Airbnb's fee, utilities, supplies, upkeep and insurance, has about US$760 a month left before the mortgage or rent, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit.
