Profit
Is an Airbnb in Papaikou Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Papaikou Airbnb took in $40,035 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 $3,370 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $3,820 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 Papaikou's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Papaikou 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 $215 adds about $2,140 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $345 a night or more, against a median of $215. 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 $3,620 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, January brings the average listing about $5,700, against $2,750 in November, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Papaikou 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 $5,140 a month, against $3,340 for the average one.

How much does an Airbnb cost per night in Papaikou?

Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in Papaikou?
In Papaikou, 48% of active listings display a registration, permit or license number. The share shows what hosts display, not what the rules allow, so confirm registration, permit and occupancy-tax rules with the city or county before buying.
Is Airbnb profitable in Papaikou?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Papaikou Airbnb grossed $40,035 in the 12 months to September 2026, 35% below the Hawaii average of $61,223. Run by its owner, with the cleaning fee covering the cleaner and everyday costs for Airbnb's fee, utilities, supplies, upkeep and insurance, $26,055 a year (about $2,170 a month) is left before the mortgage or rent. A home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit, and a listing at the top-quarter mark leaves about $3,370 a month. Check a specific home in the Airbnb estimator.
