Latest 12 months in the September 2026 data. September's figures are still coming in, so the rows run to August.
July 2026 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in December 2025 and bookings in March 2026, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in San Juan del Sur Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average San Juan del Sur Airbnb took in C$548,422 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about C$32,700 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 C$82,100 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the C$22,600 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about C$34,600 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about C$28,300 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.

How San Juan del Sur's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of San Juan del Sur listings are booked on 51% or more of their nights, against 27% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of C$4,085 adds about C$40,900 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge C$7,955 a night or more, against a median of C$4,085. 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$52,600 a year.
- Open for the busy months. July brought the average listing about C$100,000, against C$51,200 in September, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. San Juan del Sur listings average 4.76 stars, and 32% 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$113,200 a month, against C$45,700 for the average one.
