How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in La Quinta?
Gross bookings per La Quinta listing averaged $51,879 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 La Quinta listing brings in $11,300 in March, its best month, and $3,170 in September, its slowest.

In a typical month, a top-quarter listing earns at least 3.3 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $13,000+ a month, about 2.9 times the typical property.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in La Quinta Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average La Quinta Airbnb took in $51,879 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $2,730 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 $4,810 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $5,840 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $3,210 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $2,340 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 La Quinta's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of La Quinta listings are booked on 57% or more of their nights, against 38% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $355 adds about $3,530 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $545 a night or more, against a median of $355. 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 $4,600 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, March brings the average listing about $11,300, against $3,170 in September, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. La Quinta listings average 4.89 stars, and 54% 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 $7,540 a month, against $4,320 for the average one.
