Profit
Is an Airbnb in Yelapa Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Yelapa Airbnb took in MX$180,847 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about MX$11,000 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 MX$21,100 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the MX$10,300 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about MX$11,800 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about MX$9,600 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 Yelapa's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Yelapa listings are booked on 49% or more of their nights, against 30% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of MX$1,810 adds about MX$18,100 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge MX$2,475 a night or more, against a median of MX$1,810. 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 MX$17,100 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, February brings the average listing about MX$36,700, against MX$13,700 in September, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Yelapa listings average 4.80 stars, and 38% 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 MX$28,700 a month, against MX$15,100 for the average one.
