Short-term rental revenue in Miami varies enormously by neighborhood, property size, and how the listing is managed. Based on 2026 market data, the typical Miami Airbnb earns roughly $33,000–$44,000 per year, with top-performing properties in prime neighborhoods reaching $60,000–$70,000+. Below, we break down exactly what drives that range — by area, by season, and by management quality — so you can estimate what your own property could realistically earn.
Estimates on this page are based on 2026 short-term rental market data (AirDNA, AirROI, Rabbu). Figures are market averages, not guarantees — actual performance depends on your specific unit, pricing strategy, and management.

Average Airbnb Revenue in Miami (2026)
Citywide, a typical Miami Airbnb generates:
| Metric | 2026 Average |
|---|---|
| Average Daily Rate (ADR) | ~$300 |
| Occupancy Rate | ~45–53% |
| Annual Revenue | ~$33,000–$38,000 |
| Peak Month Revenue (March) | ~$5,000+ |
| Low Month Revenue (September) | ~$1,400–$1,900 |
Top-performing listings (top 10% by revenue) significantly outperform this average — often earning $9,000+ per month — thanks to better pricing strategy, photography, and guest experience, not just location. Closing that gap is exactly what our revenue optimization service is built for — a 5% commission with no upfront payment (see pricing).
Revenue by Miami Neighborhood
| Neighborhood | Avg. Daily Rate | Occupancy | Est. Annual Revenue |
|---|---|---|---|
| Miami Beach | $380 | 42% | $44,000–$45,000 |
| Brickell | $315 | ~55% | $60,000–$62,000 |
| Coconut Grove | — | 63% | ~$72,000 |
| South Miami / Coral Gables area | $256 | 41% | ~$30,000 |
| Citywide average | $300–$303 | 45% | $33,000–$38,000 |
Brickell draws a corporate and premium leisure guest profile, with average daily rates among the highest in the metro and peak occupancy around 75% in February. It’s Miami’s most competitive short-term rental submarket by listing count, so photo quality, pricing strategy, and review velocity matter more here than almost anywhere else. Not every building permits short-term rentals — confirm the condo association’s STR policy before buying or listing.
Coconut Grove is a quieter, more residential alternative to Brickell with strong and fast-growing demand, helped by ongoing local business and dining activity. Lower listing supply than Brickell means new, well-run properties can build reviews and rank faster.
Miami Beach commands the highest nightly rates in the metro thanks to beach walkability and nightlife, but it is also the most heavily regulated submarket — the large majority of active listings show registration, meaning compliance (permits, licensing, tax registration) is effectively a cost of entry, not optional.
Before listing, confirm your property’s legal status — see our Miami Short-Term Rental Laws guide.
Revenue by Property Type
Property type and size matter as much as location. Here’s how Airbnb revenue breaks down by unit type across the Miami metro (Miami-Dade and Broward), based on 2026 market data.
| Property Type | Avg. Daily Rate | Occupancy | Est. Annual Revenue |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio / 1-Bedroom | $175–$230 | 52–55% | $23,000–$28,000 |
| 2-Bedroom Condo | $280–$300 | 55–58% | $40,000–$50,000 |
| 3-Bedroom House | $400–$410 | 50% | $55,000–$65,000 |
| 4-Bedroom House/Villa | $450–$470 | 50–55% | $80,000–$90,000 |
| 5+ Bedroom Villa | $500–$550+ | 45–50% | $95,000–$180,000+ |
Studios and 1-Bedrooms
Studios and 1-bedrooms are the largest segment of Miami’s Airbnb market — nearly 40% of all active listings — which means competition is highest here. Typical annual revenue runs $23,000–$28,000, appealing mainly to couples and solo travelers. Because supply is so dense, standing out on photos, pricing, and reviews matters more here than in any other segment.
2-Bedroom Condos
2-bedroom condos are the market’s “sweet spot” — they post the highest occupancy of any unit size (often 55–58%) because they work for both couples and small families/groups. Annual revenue typically lands between $40,000 and $50,000, with waterfront or downtown buildings pushing toward the top of that range.
Villas in Hollywood, FL
Hollywood, FL (just north of Miami) is a strong villa market: single-family homes with 4+ bedrooms average daily rates of $450–$470, well above the market’s overall median ADR of around $300–$325. At roughly 50% occupancy, a 4-bedroom villa in Hollywood typically generates $80,000–$90,000 per year, with well-located, pool-equipped properties reaching higher. Hollywood carries a lighter regulatory burden than Miami Beach, which makes it attractive for larger-property investors — but always confirm current city and HOA short-term rental rules before purchasing.
Large Houses (4+ Bedrooms)
Larger homes command Miami’s highest nightly rates — 5-bedroom properties can average $500+ per night, and 6+ bedroom homes have posted monthly revenue upwards of $14,000 (roughly $150,000–$180,000+ annually) in strong locations. Occupancy tends to run slightly lower than smaller units (45–50%) since the guest pool for large groups is smaller, but the premium nightly rate more than compensates. These properties work best for group travel, extended families, and event-driven demand (Art Basel, Miami Music Week).
How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Miami?
The short answer most people are looking for: a typical well-run Miami listing grosses in the range set out in the sections above, and what an individual host keeps is that figure minus cleaning, utilities, supplies, platform fees, taxes and either their own time or a management commission. Gross revenue and host earnings are not the same number, and comparisons online routinely blur them.
Two hosts with identical units can end up thousands apart, and the gap is almost always the same three things: whether pricing follows the season, whether the listing converts the clicks it gets, and how much of the operating work is paid out versus done personally.
Occupancy Rates in Miami
Occupancy varies more by season and neighborhood than by property type. Winter high season fills calendars across the market; the summer lull is where the spread appears, because listings that adjust rates and minimum stays keep meaningful occupancy while flat-rate listings sit empty. Year-round averages therefore hide the thing that matters — two listings can post the same annual occupancy while earning very differently, depending on which nights they filled.
Chasing occupancy alone is a trap: a full calendar at the wrong rate earns less than a well-priced one with gaps. The metric worth optimizing is revenue per available night, which is what our seasonal pricing guide is built around.
Seasonality: When Miami Airbnbs Earn the Most
Miami’s Airbnb market is highly seasonal.
Peak season runs December through March, driven by snowbird travel from colder climates plus major events — Art Basel in early December, Miami Music Week in March, and the Miami Grand Prix. March is typically the single strongest month, with average monthly revenue roughly 3–4x higher than the slowest month.
Summer (July–September) is the low season, with heat, hurricane-season travel hesitancy, and fewer events pulling both occupancy and rates down.
Revenue rebounds in Q4 as snowbird bookings begin and holiday travel picks up.
Hosts who price seasonally — raising rates around Art Basel and Miami Music Week, and discounting or targeting longer stays in summer — consistently outperform hosts using a flat year-round rate.
Airbnb vs. Long-Term Rental: Which Earns More?
For the same unit, a professionally managed Airbnb typically generates 1.5–2.5x more gross revenue than a 12-month lease. That extra income comes with added costs a long-term lease doesn’t have: cleaning and turnover between stays, furnishing, more active management, and higher platform fees.
| Airbnb (managed) | Long-Term Lease (12-mo) | |
|---|---|---|
| Gross annual income | Higher (varies by neighborhood) | Fixed, predictable |
| Effort required | Active management, turnover, guest comms | Minimal after tenant placed |
| Extra costs | Cleaning, furnishing, management fee, platform fees | Minimal (occasional repairs) |
| Income variability | Seasonal, can swing significantly | Stable month to month |
| Vacancy risk | Managed via dynamic pricing/marketing | Single point of failure if tenant leaves |
A long-term lease offers lower effort and steady, predictable monthly income but caps the upside. The right choice depends on how hands-on you want to be, and whether your property sits in a location with strong, consistent short-term demand.
