Revenue
How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Jekyll Island?
Gross bookings per Jekyll Island listing averaged $40,451 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Georgia average: $30,219), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Jekyll Island listing brings in $8,130 in July, its best month, and $3,290 in January, its slowest. September runs within 1% of January, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 37% 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 2.9 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $10,200+ a month, about 2.2 times the typical property.

- Typical properties (median) earn about $4,560 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $2,480 or less, about 54% 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 Jekyll Island Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Jekyll Island Airbnb took in $40,451 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $2,030 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 $3,280 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $6,290 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $2,550 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $1,740 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 Jekyll Island's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Jekyll Island listings are booked on 56% or more of their nights, against 37% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $415 adds about $4,150 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $525 a night or more, against a median of $415. 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 $3,420 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about $8,130, against $3,290 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Jekyll Island listings average 4.77 stars, and 30% 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 $5,400 a month, against $3,370 for the average one.

Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in Jekyll Island?

Is Airbnb profitable in Jekyll Island?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Jekyll Island Airbnb grossed $40,451 in the 12 months to September 2026, 34% above the Georgia average of $30,219.

A home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit, and a listing at the top-quarter mark leaves about $3,280 a month. Check a specific home in the Airbnb estimator.
