Myrtle Beach as a short-term rental market
Myrtle Beach anchors South Carolina's Grand Strand, a roughly 60-mile stretch of Atlantic beach that draws families, golfers and group travelers year after year. Its mix of oceanfront high-rise condos, vacation communities and single-family homes gives buyers a wide range of price points, and it is a drive-to destination for guests from across the Southeast, the Mid-Atlantic and the Midwest.
Because demand is concentrated in summer, with golf and group travel supporting the shoulder seasons, underwriting should rely on conservative off-season occupancy rather than peak-month numbers.
What drives guest demand
- Wide Atlantic beaches, the Boardwalk and attractions such as the SkyWheel and Broadway at the Beach
- Golf: the area is known for its large number of courses, which supports spring and fall bookings
- Family reunions, group trips and weekend getaways
- Easy drive-in access plus Myrtle Beach International Airport
What's typically for sale
Inventory skews toward oceanfront and near-ocean condos, many in resort buildings with on-site amenities such as pools. Check each building's HOA for rental programs, minimum-stay rules and special assessments.
Myrtle Beach seasonality: when bookings happen
STRwinners' seasonality model puts the strongest booking revenue in June, July and August, which together generate about 52% of modeled annual revenue, with July the single busiest month. The slowest months are January, November and December, at about 7% combined, so build those softer months into your cash-flow projections.
Before you buy in Myrtle Beach: rules and risks
Rules differ between the City of Myrtle Beach, North Myrtle Beach, Surfside Beach and unincorporated Horry County. Confirm business-license and accommodations-tax requirements with the jurisdiction where the property sits, and read the HOA or condo declaration, since many buildings set their own rental policies.
Short-term rental rules are set locally and change often, so treat this as a checklist of what to verify, not legal advice.
- Zoning: confirm the specific address is in a district that allows nightly or weekly rentals.
- Permits and licenses: ask the city or county whether a rental permit, registration or business license is required.
- Taxes: register for state and local lodging (occupancy) taxes, and confirm who collects them if you use Airbnb or VRBO.
- HOA or condo rules: read the declaration for rental caps, minimum stays and rental-program requirements.
- Insurance and financing: get quotes for property, wind and flood coverage where relevant, and ask your lender how it treats short-term rental income.

Are oceanfront condos in Myrtle Beach a good short-term rental investment?
Oceanfront condos can earn strong summer revenue, but returns depend on the building: HOA dues, special assessments, rental-program rules and shared-amenity maintenance can all reduce net income.
