Revenue
How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Long Beach?
Gross bookings per Long Beach listing averaged $39,643 over the 12 months to September 2026 (California average: $43,088), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Long Beach listing brings in $6,700 in July, its best month, and $3,340 in February, its slowest. January runs within 2% of February, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 34% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.
In a typical month, a top-quarter listing earns at least 3.4 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $9,760+ a month, about 2.8 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn $6,080 or more, roughly $2,600 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about $3,510 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $1,740 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.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Long Beach Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Long Beach Airbnb took in $39,643 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $2,170 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 $3,800 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $3,800 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $2,490 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $1,870 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 Long Beach's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Long Beach listings are booked on 73% or more of their nights, against 53% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $200 adds about $2,020 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $325 a night or more, against a median of $200. 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 $3,580 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about $6,700, against $3,340 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Long Beach listings average 4.82 stars, and 44% 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 $5,730 a month, against $3,300 for the average one.
