Gross bookings per Palmas del Mar listing averaged $39,279 over the 12 months to October 2026 (Puerto Rico average: $29,810), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Palmas del Mar listing brings in $5,930 in July, its best month, and $2,160 in September, its slowest. March runs within 3% of July, so either can come out on top in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 34% 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 2.5 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
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.

Each point is one month as recorded, averaged over the listings active in it. The best and slowest months in the text average each calendar month over the past two years, so they can differ from the highest and lowest points here.
Latest 12 months in the October 2026 data. October's figures are still coming in, so the rows run to September.
March 2026 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in December 2025 and bookings in February 2026, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest. Across the past two years, July is usually the strongest month.

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Palmas del Mar Airbnb took in $39,279 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $2,100 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 $3,020 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $3,930 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $2,430 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $1,810 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 building or condo fees.
