Sanibel Condos Can Gross $80k Rental Income

I wrote an article in 2015 titled, “What Rental Income Can You Expect on Sanibel?” I can’t believe four years have already passed! Since a lot can change in four years, I decided to revisit the subject and update the statistics with more current market data.

My point in researching and writing this article is to help give you an idea of how much gross rental income a condominium on Sanibel can generate as a vacation rental home. But, there are a lot of factors at play in each situation. 

Earnings vary based on:

  • Daily, weekly or monthly rental restrictions 
  • Condo complex amenities
  • Interior condition and decor within the unit
  • Marketing of the vacation rental unit
  • Owner’s use of unit
  • Economic market conditions
  • Environmental and natural disasters 

… Just to name a few. 

Updated Rental Income History 

I did a quick survey of the condos that sold on Sanibel between October 2017 – October 2019, and reviewed any rental history provided by each listing agent. The highest reported gross rental income was $80,000, while the lowest was $14,000. 

Note that these numbers are based on *reported* gross income. Many of these units had significant owner use, which cuts down on the total income of the property. The gross income does not include any commission paid to a management company, cleaning fees or maintenance costs.
