Profit
Is an Airbnb in Lake Michigan Beach Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Lake Michigan Beach Airbnb took in $41,144 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $2,210 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 $3,960 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $4,360 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $2,580 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $1,910 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 Lake Michigan Beach's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Lake Michigan Beach listings are booked on 57% or more of their nights, against 40% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $260 adds about $2,590 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $425 a night or more, against a median of $260. 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 $3,680 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about $11,200, against $1,850 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Lake Michigan Beach listings average 4.83 stars, and 50% 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 $6,080 a month, against $3,430 for the average one.
