Profit
Is an Airbnb in Santa Margarita Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Santa Margarita Airbnb took in TTD 34,961 in the 12 months to May 2026, an average that counts every active listing, including those open only part of the year. A listing in the top quarter took in about TTD 72,380, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about TTD 4,660 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money.
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 Margarita's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Santa Margarita listings are booked on 47% or more of their nights, against 28% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of TTD 595 adds about TTD 5,940 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge TTD 720 a night or more, against a median of TTD 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 TTD 3,290 a year.
- Open for the busy months. July brought the average listing about TTD 13,400, against TTD 4,970 in April, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Santa Margarita listings average 4.72 stars, and 15% 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 TTD 6,030 a month, against TTD 2,910 for the average one.
