Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Kapaʻa?

Gross bookings per Kapaʻa listing averaged $71,822 over the 12 months to October 2026 (Hawaii average: $64,271), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

The average Kapaʻa listing brought in $9,330 in March, its best month, and $5,230 in September, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 32% 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 1.9 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $12,000+ a month, about twice the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $8,270 or more, roughly $2,500 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about $5,820 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $4,250 or less, about three-quarters 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 Kapaʻa Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Kapaʻa Airbnb took in $71,822 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $3,630 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 $5,190 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the $9,080 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $4,390 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $3,110 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 Kapaʻa's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Kapaʻa listings are booked on 79% or more of their nights, against 67% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $310 adds about $3,100 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $405 a night or more, against a median of $310. 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 $6,270 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. March brought the average listing about $9,330, against $5,230 in September, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Kapaʻa listings average 4.77 stars, and 35% 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 $8,500 a month, against $5,990 for the average one.

How much does an Airbnb cost per night in Kapaʻa?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Kapaʻa Airbnb grossed $71,822 in the 12 months to October 2026, 12% above the Hawaii average of $64,271.
