Profit
Is an Airbnb in Santa Teresa Profitable?
Yes, as extra income from a home or room you already have. The average Santa Teresa Airbnb took in PEN 4,905 in the 12 months to May 2026, counting listings open only part of the year, and a listing in the top quarter, run by its owner at everyday costs, keeps about PEN 850 a month after running costs.
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 Santa Teresa's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Santa Teresa listings are booked on 17% or more of their nights, against 7% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of PEN 155 adds about PEN 1,530 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge PEN 210 a night or more, against a median of PEN 155. 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 PEN 490 a year.
- Open for the busy months. January brought the average listing about PEN 1,290, against PEN 398 in March, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Santa Teresa listings average 4.72 stars, and 30% 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 PEN 1,130 a month, against PEN 410 for the average one.
