Profit
Is an Airbnb in Esens Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Esens Airbnb took in €7,552 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 €16,880, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about €860 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 Esens's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Esens listings are booked on 47% or more of their nights, against 20% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of €105 adds about €1,040 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge €135 a night or more, against a median of €105. 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 €650 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, August brings the average listing about €1,490, against €543 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Esens listings average 4.83 stars, and 24% 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 €1,410 a month, against €630 for the average one.
