Profit
Is an Airbnb in Sulphur Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Sulphur Airbnb took in $12,876 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $710 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 $1,320 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $1,320 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $820 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $610 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 Sulphur's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Sulphur listings are booked on 60% or more of their nights, against 38% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $105 adds about $1,060 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $160 a night or more, against a median of $105. 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 $1,160 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about $2,860, against $1,490 in November, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Sulphur listings average 4.84 stars, and 36% 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 $1,980 a month, against $1,070 for the average one.

Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in Sulphur?

Is Airbnb profitable in Sulphur?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Sulphur Airbnb grossed $12,876 in the 12 months to September 2026, 59% below the Louisiana average of $31,540.

A home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit, and a listing at the top-quarter mark leaves about $1,320 a month. Check a specific home in the Airbnb estimator.
