How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in West Bath?

The average West Bath listing brought in $7,400 in August, its best month, and $2,110 in April, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 40% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.

Across West Bath's 20 active listings, monthly revenue by tier:

  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $5,500 or more, roughly $2,200 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about $3,310 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $1,840 or less, about 56% of the median.

Profit

Is an Airbnb in West Bath Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average West Bath Airbnb took in $29,887 in the 12 months to May 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,550 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 $2,600 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the $3,800 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,860 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $1,330 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 West Bath's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of West Bath listings are booked on 64% or more of their nights, against 42% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $270 adds about $2,700 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $355 a night or more, against a median of $270. 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 $2,610 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. August brought the average listing about $7,400, against $2,110 in April, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. West Bath listings average 4.88 stars, and 60% 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 $4,140 a month, against $2,490 for the average one.
