Profit
Is an Airbnb in North Topsail Beach Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average North Topsail Beach Airbnb took in $50,047 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $2,550 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 $4,560 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $6,750 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $3,110 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $2,190 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 North Topsail Beach's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of North Topsail Beach listings are booked on 55% or more of their nights, against 36% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $385 adds about $3,830 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $600 a night or more, against a median of $385. 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 $4,330 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about $13,400, against $2,490 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. North Topsail Beach listings average 4.78 stars, and 38% 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 $7,380 a month, against $4,170 for the average one.
