Revenue
How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Carolina?
Gross bookings per Carolina listing averaged $33,446 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Puerto Rico average: $31,932), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Carolina listing brings in $4,420 in March, its best month, and $2,340 in September, its slowest. Both ends are close calls: March leads July by 4%, and September sits just 1% below October, so either pair can swap places in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 31% 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 3.2 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $7,280+ a month, about three times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn $4,390 or more, roughly $1,900 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about $2,460 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $1,350 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.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Carolina Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Carolina Airbnb took in $33,446 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,800 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 $3,250 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $3,580 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $2,100 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $1,550 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 Carolina's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Carolina listings are booked on 76% or more of their nights, against 56% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $150 adds about $1,510 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $235 a night or more, against a median of $150. 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 $2,990 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, March brings the average listing about $4,420, against $2,340 in September, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Carolina listings average 4.76 stars, and 32% 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 $4,970 a month, against $2,790 for the average one.

Permits
Airbnb Permits and Registration in Carolina
None of the 1,957 active listings in Carolina display a registration, permit or license number. That doesn't mean no rules apply: some places don't ask hosts to show a number on the listing, and listing data doesn't capture every scheme.
Registration, permit, zoning and occupancy-tax rules vary by address and change often, so confirm them with the city or county before buying or listing in Carolina.

FAQ
Carolina Airbnb FAQ
How much do Airbnb hosts make in Carolina?
An active Carolina Airbnb grossed $33,446 on average in the 12 months to September 2026, according to AirROI's tracking of 1,957 active listings. That is before cleaning, management, taxes and financing. Busier, better-run listings do far better: the top quarter took in $4,390 or more in a typical month.
How much can I make on Airbnb in Carolina?

For one home, enter its address and bedroom count in the Airbnb income calculator: it compares the home with similar listings nearby.
What is the average Airbnb occupancy rate in Carolina?
Listings in Carolina were booked on 51% of available nights over the past year. That compares with 44% for the Puerto Rico average. March is usually the busiest month.
How much does an Airbnb cost per night in Carolina?
The average booked night in Carolina cost $199 before fees. Half of listings charge between $105 and $235, so bedroom count and location move the price more than the average suggests.
Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in Carolina?
None of the active Carolina listings display a registration, permit or license number. That doesn't mean no rules apply, so confirm registration, permit and occupancy-tax rules with the city or county before buying.
Is Airbnb profitable in Carolina?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Carolina Airbnb grossed $33,446 in the 12 months to September 2026, in line with the Puerto Rico average. Run by its owner, with the cleaning fee covering the cleaner and everyday costs for Airbnb's fee, utilities, supplies, upkeep and insurance, $21,646 a year (about $1,800 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 $3,250 a month. Check a specific home in the Airbnb calculator.
