Gross bookings per Lucea listing averaged JMD 1,840,742 over the 12 months to October 2026 (Jamaica average: JMD 2,477,262), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Lucea listing brings in JMD 305,000 in December, its best month, and JMD 201,000 in May, its slowest. August runs within 3% of December, so either can come out on top in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 29% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.
In a typical month, a top-quarter listing earns at least 3.2 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.
December earns about 1.5 times what May does

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Lucea Airbnb took in JMD 1,840,742 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about JMD 104,000 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 JMD 162,000 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the JMD 127,000 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about JMD 114,000 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about JMD 90,000 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.

Permits
None of the 63 active listings in Lucea display a registration, permit or license number. That doesn't mean no rules apply: some places don't ask hosts to show a number on the listing, and listing data doesn't capture every scheme.
Registration, permit, zoning and tourist-tax rules vary by address and change often, so confirm them with the local authority before buying or listing in Lucea.
