May led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in June and bookings in December, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest.

Averages per active listing in each month. Highlighted: the highest-revenue month. Booking lead time is the days between booking and check-in for stays in that month. *Oct 2025 is the latest month and looks incomplete: its occupancy sits well below the calendar months either side of it, as the latest month often does before late bookings are recorded. It may be revised and is not counted as a best or worst month.
The typical Chesnee listing earns about $1,740 a month, but one property can land well above or below that. The Airbnb estimator gives a range for a specific address, built from the comparable listings around it.
Profit
Is an Airbnb in Chesnee Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Chesnee Airbnb took in $20,185 in the 12 months to October 2025, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,230 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 $2,480 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 Chesnee's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Chesnee listings are booked on 60% or more of their nights, against 34% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $125 adds about $1,250 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $190 a night or more, against a median of $125. 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 $2,020 a year.
- Open for the busy months. May brought the average listing about $3,010, against $1,900 in November, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
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 $3,370 a month, against $1,680 for the average one.
