Profit
Is an Airbnb in Ocean City Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Ocean City Airbnb took in $34,006 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,720 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 $2,900 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $4,430 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $2,090 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $1,480 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 Ocean City's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Ocean City listings are booked on 46% or more of their nights, against 31% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $315 adds about $3,150 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $425 a night or more, against a median of $315. 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 $2,960 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about $10,000, against $1,490 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Ocean City listings average 4.68 stars, and 31% 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 $4,720 a month, against $2,830 for the average one.

How much does an Airbnb cost per night in Ocean City?

Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in Ocean City?
Yes, you can run an Airbnb in Ocean City with the town's annual rental license and noise control permit plus a short-term rental license, $246 a year for a house or condo. The Ocean City Airbnb regulations set out the permit, its cost, the taxes on a stay and the operating limits, each linked to its official source.
Is Airbnb profitable in Ocean City?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Ocean City Airbnb grossed $34,006 in the 12 months to October 2026, 7% above the Maryland average of $31,882.

A home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit, and a listing at the top-quarter mark leaves about $2,900 a month. Check a specific home in the Airbnb estimator.
