Profit
Is an Airbnb in Punaʻauiʻa Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Punaʻauiʻa Airbnb took in €24,858 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about €1,420 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 €2,260 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the €1,720 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about €1,560 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about €1,230 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 Punaʻauiʻa's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Punaʻauiʻa listings are booked on 74% or more of their nights, against 55% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of €125 adds about €1,270 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge €220 a night or more, against a median of €125. 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 €2,310 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about €3,890, against €2,060 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Punaʻauiʻa listings average 4.88 stars, and 54% 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 €3,270 a month, against €2,070 for the average one.
