How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Kapaau?
Gross bookings per Kapaau listing averaged $30,974 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Hawaii average: $61,223), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Kapaau listing brings in $5,540 in January, its best month, and $2,630 in November, its slowest.

In a typical month, a top-quarter listing earns at least 3.3 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Kapaau Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Kapaau Airbnb took in $30,974 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,700 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 $3,190 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $3,560 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $2,000 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $1,470 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 Kapaau's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Kapaau listings are booked on 61% or more of their nights, against 43% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $185 adds about $1,870 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $275 a night or more, against a median of $185. 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 $2,740 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, January brings the average listing about $5,540, against $2,630 in November, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Kapaau listings average 4.92 stars, and 74% 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 $4,780 a month, against $2,580 for the average one.
