Airbnb Occupancy Rate in Daytona Beach, United States, Data & Trends 2026

The composite: 53% occupancy, €191 ADR, €2,826 average monthly revenue, revenue down 8% year on year, 193 occupied nights. The revenue level is healthy for a Florida beach market at this price point; the -8% deserves attention. It reflects softening rates in a market where supply — especially condo inventory — responds quickly to good years, rather than a demand problem: the beach and the event calendar are structural.

The way to read it as an operator: the event weeks are the margin. A listing that captures the Daytona 500, Bike Week and Biketoberfest at proper multiples with minimum stays can be down-market-proof; one that sells those weeks at near-average rates has no buffer when September arrives. Benchmark your unit against the 53% / €191 pair: above-average occupancy at below-average rate usually means underpricing event dates, while the reverse suggests the listing photographs poorly or responds slowly. In a condo-heavy market where products look alike, reviews and response speed move share more than amenity spending does.

Daytona Beach runs on two engines. The first is the beach itself — the self-styled World's Most Famous Beach, a long ribbon of hard-packed Atlantic sand famous enough that cars can drive on stretches of it — which feeds a classic Florida family market through the summer and a steady drive-to weekend trade from Orlando, Jacksonville and Georgia year-round. The second is the Speedway: the Daytona 500 in February, Bike Week in early March drawing hundreds of thousands of riders, Jeep Beach in April and Biketoberfest in October give the market an event calendar that few beach towns can match, and those weeks reprice the entire city.

Occupancy averaged 53% over the year we analysed on a €191 ADR. Supply is dominated by oceanfront condos, so a large share of inventory competes on near-identical layouts — which makes photography, reviews and pricing discipline the differentiators. It is an accessible, liquid market to enter, and a competitive one to stand out in.

The market's centre of gravity is the beachside strip along Atlantic Avenue (A1A), where oceanfront condo towers — many operating essentially as condo-hotels — hold most of the short-term inventory. Ocean view and direct beach access are the attributes guests actually pay for, and two otherwise identical units trade at visibly different rates on that basis alone. Daytona Beach Shores, immediately south, is a separate municipality with its own rules and a quieter, more residential tower stock. On the mainland, the Beach Street riverfront downtown offers walkable dining on the Halifax River, and homes near the Speedway and the ISB corridor earn their living during race and rally weeks.

Zoning concentrates the trade: the city permits short-term rentals in designated tourist and redevelopment districts rather than across general residential neighbourhoods, which is why the condo corridor dominates. In condo buildings, the homeowners association's rental rules matter as much as city ordinance — always read the association documents before buying a unit to rent.
