Profit
Is an Airbnb in Maria Chiquita Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Maria Chiquita Airbnb took in $47,558 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $2,730 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 $4,210 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $2,100 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $2,910 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $2,350 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 Maria Chiquita's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Maria Chiquita listings are booked on 50% or more of their nights, against 34% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $415 adds about $4,170 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $510 a night or more, against a median of $415. That is a separate ranking from the busiest quarter, so the two marks don't multiply into one listing's takings.

- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, January brings the average listing about $7,000, against $3,250 in October, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Maria Chiquita listings average 4.87 stars, and 64% 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 $6,070 a month, against $3,960 for the average one.
