Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Bodfish?

Gross bookings per Bodfish listing averaged $13,012 over the 12 months to October 2026 (California average: $46,107), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average Bodfish listing brings in $2,450 in July, its best month, and $983 in February, its slowest. January runs within 1% of February, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 36% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.

Across Bodfish's 23 active listings, monthly revenue by tier:

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $2,830+ a month, about 2.6 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $2,040 or more, roughly $940 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about $1,100 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $572 or less, about half of the median.

These are monthly figures for listings active in each month. The annual average above also counts listings that operated for only part of the year, so it runs below twelve times these figures.

July earns about 2.5 times what February does

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Bodfish Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Bodfish Airbnb took in $13,012 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $610 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 $1,140 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the $2,290 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $800 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $520 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 HOA or condo fees.

How Bodfish's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Bodfish listings are booked on 38% or more of their nights, against 23% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $160 adds about $1,590 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $210 a night or more, against a median of $160. 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 $1,070 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about $2,450, against $983 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Bodfish listings average 4.78 stars, and 26% 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 $2,020 a month, against $1,080 for the average one.

Permits

Airbnb Permits and Registration in Bodfish

None of the 23 active listings in Bodfish display a registration, permit or license number. That doesn't mean no rules apply: some places don't ask hosts to show a number on the listing, and listing data doesn't capture every scheme.
