How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Vermont?
Gross bookings per Vermont listing averaged R 184,946 over the 12 months to October 2026 (Western Cape average: R 301,995), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
The average Vermont listing brought in R 53,700 in December, its best month, and R 19,300 in August, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 33% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.
Across Vermont's 23 active listings, monthly revenue by tier:
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn R 59,500+ a month, about 2.4 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn R 38,700 or more, roughly R 14,000 a month above the median.

- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn R 8,830 or less, about a third of the median.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Vermont Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Vermont Airbnb took in R 184,946 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about R 10,800 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 R 17,200 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the R 9,800 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about R 11,600 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about R 9,300 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 Vermont's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Vermont listings are booked on 44% or more of their nights, against 28% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of R 2,595 adds about R 26,000 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge R 4,055 a night or more, against a median of R 2,595. 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 R 17,500 a year.
- Open for the busy months. December brought the average listing about R 53,700, against R 19,300 in August, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Vermont listings average 4.87 stars, and 22% 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 R 24,400 a month, against R 15,400 for the average one.
