Profit
Is an Airbnb in Las Peñitas Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Las Peñitas Airbnb took in C$314,519 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about C$19,000 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 C$34,600 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the C$4,100 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about C$19,400 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about C$16,500 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 Las Peñitas's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Las Peñitas listings are booked on 41% or more of their nights, against 26% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of C$2,730 adds about C$27,300 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge C$4,900 a night or more, against a median of C$2,730. 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 C$31,000 a year.
- Open for the busy months. March brought the average listing about C$55,700, against C$21,800 in May, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Las Peñitas listings average 4.78 stars, and 26% 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 C$47,200 a month, against C$26,200 for the average one.
