Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in South Haven?

Gross bookings per South Haven listing averaged $53,150 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Michigan average: $34,144), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average South Haven listing brings in $17,300 in July, its best month, and $2,110 in February, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 58% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.

In a typical month, a top-quarter listing earns at least three times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $12,500+ a month, about 2.6 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $8,160 or more, roughly $3,400 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about $4,810 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $2,670 or less, about 55% of the median.

These are monthly figures for listings active in each month. The annual average above also counts listings that operated for only part of the year, so it runs below twelve times these figures.

July earns about 8.2 times what February does

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.

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.

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.
