Profit
Is an Airbnb in Swan's Island Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Swan's Island Airbnb took in $24,896 in the 12 months to April 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,400 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 $2,230 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $2,640 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,620 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $1,220 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.

- Open for the busy months. July brought the average listing about $6,880, against $1,010 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
