Revenue
How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Wailea?
Gross bookings per Wailea listing averaged $69,262 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 Wailea listing brings in $11,600 in February, its best month, and $6,200 in September, its slowest. January runs within 4% of February, so either can come out on top in a given year. 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 3.3 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $17,500+ a month, about 2.5 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn $11,600 or more, roughly $4,700 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about $6,870 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $3,460 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 Wailea Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Wailea Airbnb took in $69,262 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $3,690 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 $6,260 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $8,010 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $4,350 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $3,180 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 Wailea's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Wailea listings are booked on 75% or more of their nights, against 48% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $455 adds about $4,570 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $655 a night or more, against a median of $455. 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 $6,130 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, February brings the average listing about $11,600, against $6,200 in September, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Wailea listings average 4.82 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 $9,710 a month, against $5,770 for the average one.

How much does an Airbnb cost per night in Wailea?

Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in Wailea?
In Wailea, 95% 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 Wailea?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Wailea Airbnb grossed $69,262 in the 12 months to September 2026, 13% above 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, $44,242 a year (about $3,690 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 $6,260 a month. Check a specific home in the Airbnb calculator.
