Asking prices, not what they actually rent for. The starting list is furnished 1-bedrooms in Cape Canaveral and Cocoa Beach from October 2026 (Furnished Finder, Apartments.com). For another property, tap Edit list and replace them with the listings you find using the links above.
What we can do to earn more
Nightly-rental data for context: Rabbu shows Cape Canaveral 1BRs at $137/night, 59% booked; AirDNA $178/night, 66%. These don't apply directly because Casa Canaveral requires 30-night stays.
Purchase and financing
Expenses and maintenance
Fixed costs are per month. Per-stay costs are multiplied by stays per year. Untick a line to leave it out.
One-time costs
Paid once, before or during the first year (equipment, setup, launch). They don't repeat, so they lower year-1 cash, not the monthly profit. Closing costs are in the Mortgage section.
Rent, occupancy and where bookings come from
Guest Experiences
Price × % of guests who buy × stays per year. New ideas are listed unticked at the bottom: tick any you want to offer and watch the results change.
Cape 17 merch
Profit = (price − our cost) × items sold per guest stay × stays per year. Example: 0.3 means about 3 of every 10 guests buy one. Product photos are in the shop on cape17.xyz. New merch ideas are unticked at the bottom: tick to include.

- Florida charges sales tax on rentals of 6 months or less (6% state + Brevard County 5% tourist tax). It is collected from the guest and paid to the state, so it is not counted as income or cost here. Airbnb collects it for Airbnb bookings; for direct bookings you must register and file.
