Profit
Is an Airbnb in Clear Lake Shores Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Clear Lake Shores Airbnb took in $20,429 in the 12 months to June 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,160 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 $1,910 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $1,950 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,320 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $1,000 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.

- Open for the busy months. March brought the average listing about $3,580, against $2,080 in May, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
