Profit
Is an Airbnb in Waikoloa Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Waikoloa Airbnb took in $47,279 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $2,460 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 $4,290 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $5,840 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $2,950 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $2,120 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 Waikoloa's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Waikoloa listings are booked on 76% or more of their nights, against 51% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $330 adds about $3,310 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $500 a night or more, against a median of $330. 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 $4,140 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, January brings the average listing about $7,130, against $3,830 in September, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Waikoloa listings average 4.86 stars, and 48% 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 $6,790 a month, against $3,940 for the average one.

How much does an Airbnb cost per night in Waikoloa?
The average booked night in Waikoloa cost $370 before fees. Half of listings charge between $205 and $500, so bedroom count and location move the price more than the average suggests.
Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in Waikoloa?
In Waikoloa, 70% 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.

Yes, when it's run well. The average Waikoloa Airbnb grossed $47,279 in the 12 months to September 2026, 23% 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, $29,569 a year (about $2,460 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 $4,290 a month. Check a specific home in the Airbnb calculator.
