The average Airbnb or VRBO in St. John's generates XCD64K per year. High-performing properties earn XCD229K/year, while low-performing properties earn XCD29K/year. This massive revenue spread suggests that market rewards are highly concentrated, indicating that standard offerings are struggling to capture guest interest in a stagnant supply environment.
Airbnb and VRBO can be profitable in St. John's. Average annual revenue is XCD64K with 26% occupancy. High-performing properties earn up to XCD229K/year. The disparity between average and top-tier earnings highlights a bifurcated market where only a select segment successfully navigates the current downward pressure on total revenue.
The average occupancy rate for Airbnbs and VRBOs in St. John's is 26%. This occupancy level, combined with an average nightly rate of XCD861, results in a RevPAR (revenue per available room) of XCD128 per day.

Short-term rental regulations vary by jurisdiction in the St. John's area. I don't have reliable information about short-term rental regulations for St. John's, Jolly Harbour, and English Harbour in Antigua and Barbuda. These locations lack well-documented STR regulatory frameworks in available sources. I recommend contacting local municipal authorities or the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority directly for current regulations. Always verify current regulations with local authorities and obtain necessary permits before operating a short-term rental.
The St. John's Airbnb and VRBO market is currently showing balanced conditions. Supply has grown 2% year-over-year, while RevPAR has decreased 35%. This indicates balanced supply-demand dynamics. Despite stable inventory growth, the sharp decline in revenue per available room signals that existing demand is insufficient to support current market pricing levels.

Avoid launching during peak season when established listings dominate, or slow months (June-September) when gaining traction is harder.
