Profit
Is an Airbnb in South Haven Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average South Haven Airbnb took in $53,150 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $2,730 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 $4,670 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $6,780 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $3,290 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $2,340 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 South Haven's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of South Haven listings are booked on 46% or more of their nights, against 31% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $470 adds about $4,720 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $665 a night or more, against a median of $470. 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 $4,640 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about $17,300, against $2,110 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. South Haven listings average 4.87 stars, and 48% 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 $7,510 a month, against $4,430 for the average one.

How much does an Airbnb cost per night in South Haven?
The average booked night in South Haven cost $552 before fees. Half of listings charge between $335 and $665, so bedroom count and location move the price more than the average suggests.
Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in South Haven?
Yes, an owner can rent a South Haven home to short-term guests with a two-year city license, but only homes already registered or newly approved inside the short-term rental overlay district qualify. The South Haven Airbnb regulations set out the permit, its cost, the taxes on a stay and the operating limits, each linked to its official source.
Is Airbnb profitable in South Haven?
Yes, when it's run well. The average South Haven Airbnb grossed $53,150 in the 12 months to September 2026, 56% above the Michigan average of $34,144. Run by its owner, with the cleaning fee covering the cleaner and everyday costs for Airbnb's fee, utilities, supplies, upkeep and insurance, $32,720 a year (about $2,730 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 $4,670 a month. Check a specific home in the Airbnb calculator.
