Nightly rates and occupancy in Bonita Springs and the surrounding coast swing hard by season. Enter your own numbers below and see a real seasonal income projection in seconds — no login, no wait.
↓ Try the CalculatorMost online income calculators use a flat year-round average, which doesn't hold up here. A Southwest Florida vacation rental can rent for two or three times as much in February as it does in August — and a single blended number hides that swing completely.
This tool breaks the year into the five rate periods we actually see driving bookings on the coast: early shoulder season, two distinct high-season stretches around the holidays and peak winter/spring, a late shoulder season, and the long off-season. Enter your own nightly rate and expected occupancy for each period, and the calculator builds a real annual projection from there — not a guess. Renting by the month or for the winter season instead? Switch to Monthly or Seasonal, enter the rent month by month, and block off any months you plan to use the home yourself.
This isn't a marketing gimmick built separately from how we actually work — it's the same seasonal framework our property managers use when we forecast income and set pricing strategy for the owners we manage properties for. When you get a projection here, you're seeing the starting point of the same conversation we'd have with you as a client.

⬇ Calculator worksheet (Excel)Your projection is yours to keep — email it to yourself with one click. When you do, a Sands agent also receives a copy and will personally reach out to review the numbers with you: what's realistic for your specific property, what we'd adjust, and what full management would look like if you want it. No pressure, no obligation — just a second set of eyes from people who manage properties in this exact market every day.
It's only as accurate as the rents and occupancy you enter. The example figures are a typical 2BR coastal condo; replace them with your own. We built the seasonal structure from real Southwest Florida booking patterns, but your specific property's location, condition, amenities, and marketing all affect actual performance. Think of this as a strong starting estimate, not a guarantee.
This estimate covers rental revenue, management fees, the operating costs you enter, any months you keep for yourself, and (in the investor view) your mortgage and up-front cash, including furnishing and renovation. It doesn't account for HOA special assessments, major repairs, or income taxes. Our agents can help fill in those gaps when they follow up.
