Consultant's view

Alaa's take on Myrtle Beach

“Myrtle Beach is a volume market with a sharp summer peak and a surprisingly useful golf season on either side. Families drive in for summer weeks, while golf groups book midweek in spring and autumn. Winter is deep, so the pricing job is about capturing summer fully and building enough shoulder revenue to carry the quiet months.”

Mistakes Alaa fixes most in Myrtle Beach

  • Only pricing for summer and leaving spring and autumn golf demand unaddressed.
  • Oceanfront and non-ocean units priced too close together.
  • Winter minimum stays that stay at summer levels.
Alaa's pricing calendar

How I price Myrtle Beach through the year

Revenue management consultant in Myrtle Beach, United States
  1. January and FebruaryLow

    Canadian and northern snowbirds book monthly stays, so I set a monthly rate card for oceanfront condos and keep nightly floors low enough to catch weekend visitors.

  2. March to MayShoulder

    Can-Am Days, spring break, golf trips and the SOS Spring Safari bring different guests, so I price each block separately and add bike week rules in mid-May.

  3. June to AugustPeak

    The summer weeks and the Carolina Country Music Fest are the core of the year, so I set Saturday changeovers for family homes and keep oceanfront rates firm until the final days.

  4. September and OctoberShoulder

    Golf groups, the World Amateur Handicap Championship and the SOS Fall Brawl fill midweeks and weekends, so I price for groups and shorten stays as summer families leave.

  5. November and DecemberLow

    Thanksgiving and Christmas carry a few strong weeks, so I price those dates individually and then move to monthly offers for the early winter snowbirds.

Where I price Myrtle Beach differently

North Myrtle Beach and Cherry Grove
Quieter family beaches and shag-dancing weekends; I price for weekly family stays in summer and add the SOS weekends as premiums.
Central Myrtle Beach and the Boardwalk
Close to the SkyWheel and nightlife, these condos attract younger groups and couples; I price weekends firmly and use midweek offers in the shoulder months.
Surfside Beach, Garden City and Murrells Inlet
Family-oriented, with the MarshWalk nearby; I price homes for weekly stays and slightly below central Myrtle Beach, with strong July weeks.

What I check first in a Myrtle Beach audit

  1. 1Whether the condo resort or HOA allows short stays and what fees it charges, because many Grand Strand buildings have their own rules and costs that change how we can price.
  2. 2How the unit is described against others in the same tower: oceanfront, ocean view, floor level and balcony, since guests compare units side by side within one resort.
  3. 3Whether the city or county business licence and accommodations tax are in place, because Horry County and the beach towns each collect their own taxes on short stays.

FAQ

Questions Myrtle Beach owners ask Alaa

How do I get bookings in Myrtle Beach outside summer?

Golf groups and couples fill spring and autumn midweeks. Alaa builds midweek pricing and shorter stays for those months, and monthly options for winter.

How much more should an oceanfront Myrtle Beach condo charge?

It depends on the resort, but the gap should be clear and consistent. Alaa benchmarks against units in the same building first.

Do Canadian snowbirds still matter in Myrtle Beach?

Yes, many come in winter and in March for Can-Am Days. They often book monthly stays in oceanfront condos. I build monthly rates that compare well with other winter options and make sure the listing shows the details long-stay guests need, such as parking and kitchen equipment.

Should I allow bike week guests at my Myrtle Beach rental?

It depends on the property and the building rules. Some resorts restrict motorcycle parking or events, while others welcome riders. I check the policies first, then price those weeks according to the demand the property can accept, with clear house rules.
