Cabo San Lucas Airbnb Data by Month
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.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Cabo San Lucas Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Cabo San Lucas Airbnb took in MX$573,518 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about MX$32,600 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 MX$74,800 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the MX$39,900 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about MX$35,900 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about MX$28,200 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.

How Cabo San Lucas's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Cabo San Lucas listings are booked on 54% or more of their nights, against 32% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of MX$3,450 adds about MX$34,500 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge MX$7,445 a night or more, against a median of MX$3,450. 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 MX$53,400 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, March brings the average listing about MX$103,000, against MX$54,300 in September, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Cabo San Lucas listings average 4.85 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 MX$108,300 a month, against MX$47,800 for the average one.
