Revenue
How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in San Antonio?
Gross bookings per San Antonio listing averaged $24,211 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Texas average: $26,925), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average San Antonio listing brings in $3,770 in July, its best month, and $2,090 in January, its slowest.

The three strongest months bring in 32% 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 3.8 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $6,290+ a month, about 2.8 times the typical property.

- Typical properties (median) earn about $2,240 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $1,050 or less, about half 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 San Antonio Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average San Antonio Airbnb took in $24,211 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,250 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 $2,240 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $3,220 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,520 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $1,080 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 San Antonio's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of San Antonio listings are booked on 65% or more of their nights, against 42% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $170 adds about $1,680 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $240 a night or more, against a median of $170. 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 $2,100 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about $3,770, against $2,090 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. San Antonio listings average 4.80 stars, and 41% 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 $3,580 a month, against $2,020 for the average one.

Top-Earning Airbnbs and Hosts in San Antonio
The top-grossing Airbnb in San Antonio, an eight-bedroom home, took in $357,000 over the past year, about 15 times the city's average of $24,200. One of the top-grossing listings, a one-bedroom unit at $2,342 a night (about 6.6 times the $355 that puts a listing in the top 10% here), is left out below: a price like that usually means it covers several rooms or units, or that it is misrecorded. All six listings below have five or more bedrooms, so the top of this market belongs to large homes.
