Hudson River waterfront park, Beacon New York

Most Beacon listings get marketed as a generic Hudson River stay. That pitch could describe a dozen other towns, and it wastes what actually sets City of Beacon, Dutchess County, New York apart. Guests who typed Beacon are looking for Dia:Beacon, Beacon Riverfront Park, Main Street, Mount Beacon — not Fishkill, and not Cold Spring. 106 active listings sit on this extract. Write the town you can actually walk. Keep the listing specific. A vague water caption loses the booking.

Typical listings here earned about $40,563 last year from 106 active rentals, AirROI trailing twelve months through July 2026. The average night was $259. Occupancy was 48.6 percent. Revenue per available night was $127. Year over year is plus 21.7 percent. Active supply moved -7.0 percent. Do not average in Fishkill at $48,052 on 26 listings. That is a different town. Leave Cold Spring as a different market. Do not mix those towns. Treat this as a small sample, not a blended coast.

The three strongest months are October, August, and May. October is the busiest. February is the slowest. Most guests arrive from New York, then Los Angeles. Typical stay is 4.5 nights, booked about 48 days ahead. Call Building at 845-838-5020. City STR permit $180 two years, $60 renewal reinspection. Primary residence. Section 223-26.5. Cold Spring Village Hall is another municipality. NYC STR is another municipality. AirROI Low is a scrape Beacon Hotel holds still show up in this sample.

Forty Thousand 563 Is the City Year

That heading is the useful way to read Beacon, not a dashboard label. Guests come for Dia:Beacon. Say that in the listing. Do not bury it under a generic Hudson River caption. Do not write Fishkill copy onto a Beacon address. Do not use Cold Spring as if it were this occupancy. Be specific about the walk. A vague caption loses the guest who typed this town. Keep the other town out of the title.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the current Beacon STR year on this extract?

AirROI lists typical Beacon listings at about $40,563 from 106 active rentals for August 2025 through July 2026, updated August 8, 2026. Average night is $259, occupancy 48.6 percent, and RevPAR $127. Year over year revenue moved up 21.7 percent while active supply pulled back 7.0 percent. File that figure as this city's year, not a rounded average from a neighboring town.

Can Fishkill's $48,052 stand in for Beacon's number?

No. Fishkill published about $48,052 from 26 listings on the same extract, and it is a separate municipality with its own board and permitting desk. Averaging Fishkill into Beacon's $40,563 invents a third figure neither town actually earned. Cite Fishkill once, label it clearly, and keep it off any Beacon-specific packet or listing caption.

Is Cold Spring the same market as Beacon?

No. Cold Spring published about $35,531 from 44 listings, notably smaller and lower-revenue than Beacon's 106-listing board. The two towns carry different origin patterns, different stay lengths, and different local permitting rules. Keep Cold Spring's figure on its own line if it comes up as a neighbor reference; treating them as one market flattens two files a buyer actually needs separated.

Which months carry the Beacon calendar?

October is the strongest revenue month, with August and May also carrying real demand. February is the slowest month on this extract, and that is the month a host should price as a genuine hole rather than sell around. A 19.8 percent share of listings running a 30-night minimum does not change that calendar; it is a booking filter, not proof of a filled month.

Where do Beacon guests come from?

Most guests arrive from New York City, then Los Angeles, with a typical stay of 4.5 nights booked about 48 days ahead. That origin mix reads as weekend and short getaway demand more than a long-distance monthly market. Superhost share on this board is 80.2 percent, and professionally managed listings are a small 3.8 percent slice.

Does a low-regulation label mean Beacon has no permit requirement?

No, that label describes a scrape, not the live city desk. Beacon's actual requirement runs through the Building Department at 845-838-5020: a city STR permit costing $180 for two years, a $60 renewal reinspection fee, and a primary-residence requirement under Section 223-26.5. This is not legal advice, and it does not invent a fee the city page did not state. Confirm directly with the city before advertising.

Is a 30-night minimum the same thing as occupancy?

No. About 19.8 percent of Beacon's 106 listings, 21 of them, run a 30-night minimum, while the typical stay across the whole board is still 4.5 nights. Those are two different measurements: one describes a host's calendar setting, the other describes what guests actually book. The 48.6 percent occupancy figure already accounts for the full board, filters included.

What should a buyer packet cite for Beacon?

Cite $40,563 from 106 listings, the strongest months of October, August, and May, the slowest month of February, and an origin pattern led by New York City. Note the permit line, $180 for two years through the Building Department, and label Fishkill and Cold Spring separately if either appears as context. A packet that mixes towns undermines the diligence it is supposed to support.

How has Beacon's market moved year over year?

Revenue moved up 21.7 percent year over year on this extract, even as active supply pulled back 7.0 percent. That combination, fewer listings and higher revenue, points to demand outpacing new supply rather than a market simply growing wider. It is not a guarantee the trend continues, and it does not license inventing a forward projection the extract did not publish.

What is Beacon's sample size, and why does it matter?

The current extract covers 106 active rentals, a meaningful board but still a single-market sample, not a metro-wide figure. Treat every percentage and dollar figure here as describing Beacon specifically, not a regional average that would smooth one town's slow month against another's peak. Read the numbers as this town's file, and keep them there.
