What it earns, what it costs to own, and the net yield

Financial analysis
· Brixfox Standard · Non-resident · Fully managed
Fully managed is the Brixfox Standard shown on every card: a full-service manager's commission, charged on top of the Airbnb/Booking channel fees (not the cleaning cost — changeovers are funded by guest cleaning fees; you bear the residual). Self-managed drops the commission; the channel fees stay, because the platform is paid whoever manages, and you pay staff/local operations, a higher cleaning residual and your own time directly. Both scenarios divide the SAME gross revenue — the toggle changes the cost stack, not the revenue. That revenue is observed from actively-operated comps, so self-managed assumes you match their performance.Both scenarios share the same projected revenue — the toggle changes who runs the property and what that costs, not what it earns.

No Airbnb match on file

We have not confirmed this exact property on Airbnb, so it carries no operating history here. The figures above rest on the comparable set — a launch scenario, not a track record.

Derived from the comparable Airbnb listings below. The headline ADR is the expected BOOKED rate — nearby asking prices corrected by our measured, market-calibrated asking-to-booked factor. Occupancy is calibrated against tracked reference homes nearby. Comp cards below show raw asking prices.

0.0%

Rental turnover above €20,000 a year falls under 21% BTW — the lodging rate since 1 January 2026; camping pitches keep 9% — below it the kleineondernemersregeling (KOR) applies. Financing is not modelled: a mortgage lowers the Box 3 bill (debt at a 2.70% forfait) and adds interest.

This property does not break even: the costs above exceed its rental income by €11,012/yr. The yield is reported as 0% rather than a negative figure, which is what every listing card, map pin and comparison on the site shows.

Total return, if prices move

Net yield plus an appreciation assumption you choose. Appreciation is a forward-looking assumption, not data — which is why it defaults to 0% and is kept out of the yield figures above.

Before you buy

The park, the zoning and the tax the numbers rest on

Read from the listing, never a permit

The listing mentions holiday letting

Letting is referred to in the listing, but the text does not say under which regime — free independent letting or a park rental pool. Which of the two applies materially changes net yield, so treat it as the first question to the selling agent.

Does not cover its running costs

On the revenue this property is modelled to earn and the annual charges deducted above, the costs exceed the rental income. The yield is shown as 0% rather than as a negative number — treat it as a cost to carry, not a return.

Permanent residence not permitted

Permanente bewoning niet toegestaan. This is a holiday-zoned home (recreatiebestemming): it may not be used as a year-round primary residence, and you cannot register at the address. That is normal for a Dutch recreatiewoning and says nothing about letting — the park contract and the municipality decide that. It also narrows the resale market to buyers who want exactly this.

Recreatiebestemming (recreatiewoning): permanent year-round residence is often not permitted — verify the municipality’s rules before buying.

The Netherlands has no national short-let register, so this is read from the listing — not a permit. Letting rules are set per municipality (and per park contract); confirm both with the gemeente and the seller before you buy. Guests pay toeristenbelasting per night wherever letting is allowed.

After-tax basis: net yield is on the all-in acquisition cost (asking price plus 8% overdrachtsbelasting, notary, legal and furnishing) and after Dutch Box 3 — a deemed return of 6.00% on the home's value, taxed at 36%, not a tax on the rent received. Park charges (the listing's figure where it states one, otherwise a market assumption you can edit in the P&L), utilities and a letting-agency share are deducted. Financing lowers the Box 3 bill — debt counts against it at a 2.70% forfait — and is not modelled here. Rental turnover above €20,000 a year falls under 21% BTW — the lodging rate since 1 January 2026; camping pitches keep 9% — below it the KOR applies. Box-3 rules are under reform; confirm with a Dutch tax adviser.

Listing text from the makelaar, in Dutch

De woning is ontworpen voor ontspannen verblijven in ieder seizoen en biedt tegelijkertijd uitstekende mogelijkheden voor recreatieve verhuur. Daarmee is deze villa een aantrekkelijke investering voor liefhebbers die op zoek zijn naar een kwalitatief hoogwaardig recreatieobject op Ameland. De villa beschikt over een gebruiksoppervlakte van circa 113 m² en is geschikt voor zes personen. De begane grond is ingericht rondom een royale en lichte leefruimte, waar de woonkamer met haard en de moderne open keuken samen een uitnodigende plek vormen om te ontspannen. Het kookeiland, de ruime eethoek en de directe verbinding met het terras maken deze ruimte bijzonder geschikt voor zowel korte als langere verblijven. Daarnaast bevindt zich op de begane grond een comfortabele tweepersoonsslaapkamer met een eigen badkamer en suite, een gastentoilet en een ruime Finse sauna. Via de buitendeur naast de sauna bereikt u direct de buitendouche, een aangename voorziening na een bezoek aan het strand of een ontspannen saunasessie. Op de eerste verdieping bevinden zich nog twee ruime tweepersoonsslaapkamers en een complete badkamer met ligbad, douche, wastafel en toilet. Ook zijn een wasmachine en droger aanwezig, wat het comfort tijdens langere verblijven verder vergroot. De indeling met drie slaapkamers en twee badkamers is terug te zien op de aangeleverde plattegrond. Buiten biedt het royale terras alle ruimte om in alle rust van het eilandgevoel te genieten. De tuin is groen ingericht en vormt een prettige plek om buiten te zitten en heerlijk te relaxen. De ligging is werkelijk ideaal. Het Noordzeestrand bevindt zich op ongeveer 1,5 kilometer afstand en ook het centrum van Ballum is eenvoudig te voet of per fiets bereikbaar. Hier vindt u onder meer een supermarkt, diverse horecagelegenheden en fietsverhuur. In de directe omgeving liggen daarnaast het openluchtzwembad en de tennisbaan van Roosdunen, terwijl de natuurgebieden rondom Ballum volop mogelijkheden bieden om te wandelen en te fietsen. Voor beleggers biedt deze villa bovendien een interessante extra mogelijkheid. De naastgelegen, identieke recreatievilla aan Gruttolaan 219 is eveneens beschikbaar. Door beide woningen gezamenlijk aan te kopen ontstaat een uitstekende kans om het verhuuraanbod uit te breiden en grotere gezelschappen of meerdere reisgezelschappen tegelijkertijd te accommoderen.

ROI calculations use verified Brixfox Intelligence rental data.

Gross revenue is identical in both management scenarios. Market factors in Netherlands may impact actual yields.
