Profit
Is an Airbnb in Priestmans River Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Priestmans River Airbnb took in JMD 2,755,886 in the 12 months to May 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about JMD 175,000 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 581,000 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the JMD 87,000 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about JMD 183,000 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about JMD 153,000 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.

How Priestmans River's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Priestmans River listings are booked on 42% or more of their nights, against 24% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of JMD 15,100 adds about JMD 151,000 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge JMD 36,400 a night or more, against a median of JMD 15,100. 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 JMD 267,000 a year.
- Open for the busy months. March brought the average listing about JMD 893,000, against JMD 194,000 in September, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Priestmans River listings average 4.69 stars, and 10% 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 JMD 750,000 a month, against JMD 230,000 for the average one.
