What an average property earns in Gironde
According to AirDNA, which tracks Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com listings, an active property in Bordeaux generated an average of $24,800 in revenue over the twelve months to October 2026, with a 63% occupancy rate and an average nightly rate of $122.
On the Bassin d'Arcachon, the town of Arcachon posts average annual revenue of $24,400, 53% occupancy and $171 a night (data to September 2026). In Libourne, the gateway to Saint-Émilion, AirDNA records $14,800 in annual revenue, 54% occupancy and $84 a night (October 2026).
These are averages across all property types: a studio and a house with a pool are worlds apart. They give an order of magnitude, not a promise.
From gross revenue to net income
The amount paid by the guest is not what lands in your account. First comes the platform's commission: on Airbnb, it depends on the fee model chosen, either shared between host and guest or borne entirely by the host.
Then come cleaning and laundry, consumables (coffee, soap, paper), energy, the internet subscription, insurance, property tax, service charges and, if you delegate, the concierge's commission.
Finally, the tourist tax is collected on behalf of the municipality: it is not part of your income.
The levers that make the difference
Within the same market, the gap between two properties comes mainly from pricing adjusted daily to demand, the quality of the photos and the listing, responsiveness to guests and the ratings earned.
That is precisely a concierge's job: managing these levers day after day to improve occupancy and average rate, without you having to spend your time on it.
