Across Ballintoy's 24 active listings, monthly revenue by tier:
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn £6,700+ a month, about 2.7 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn £4,120 or more, roughly £1,600 a month above the median.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Ballintoy Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Ballintoy Airbnb took in £31,116 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about £1,780 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 £2,960 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the £1,360 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about £1,890 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about £1,530 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 Ballintoy's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Ballintoy listings are booked on 68% or more of their nights, against 47% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of £155 adds about £1,540 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge £200 a night or more, against a median of £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 £2,980 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about £4,980, against £1,350 in November, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Ballintoy listings average 4.92 stars, and 83% 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 £4,280 a month, against £2,590 for the average one.
