Profit
Is an Airbnb in Ixtapa Zihuatanejo Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Ixtapa Zihuatanejo Airbnb took in MX$174,812 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about MX$10,700 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 MX$24,400 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the MX$7,800 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about MX$11,400 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about MX$9,300 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.

- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge MX$3,490 a night or more, against a median of MX$2,065.

- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, December brings the average listing about MX$35,200, against MX$19,700 in September, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
