    Property Management Companies in Myrtle Beach, SC: Ranked by Guest Rating, Occupancy, and ADR

    Finding the right property management company for your Myrtle Beach vacation rental can have a major impact on your property's performance and your experience as an owner. From pricing and marketing to guest communication, cleaning, and maintenance, the right team should help protect your property while working to maximize its potential.

    Myrtle Beach is a competitive vacation rental market, and not every management company offers the same level of service. To help you compare your options, we've put together this guide to some of the property management companies serving the area and the factors you should consider before making a decision.

    This ranking uses AirDNA's Myrtle Beach, US market data for the last 12 months. We scored named full service managers with 100 or more listings on a quality index: 50% guest rating, 25% occupancy, and 25% average daily rate. Listing count is disclosed, not scored. Bigger is not better for most owners. Leisr Stays has 20 listings in Myrtle Beach and is included because we manage here and we publish this guide. On that index, Leisr Stays ranks first with a 4.87 guest rating and 78% occupancy, sitting above every full service operator with 100 or more listings in the same AirDNA market. Compare fees, the contract, and how the team actually treats your home before you sign.

    Our Methodology When Choosing the Best Property Management Company

    Choosing a property manager is about more than comparing management fees. For this list we used AirDNA's last 12 month Myrtle Beach market snapshot and ranked on guest rating (50% weight), occupancy (25% weight), and ADR (25% weight). We limited the comparison set to named full service companies with at least 100 listings in that market, then included Leisr Stays as the boutique operator publishing this guide. Guest reviews tell you how a company performs day to day. Occupancy and ADR tell you whether the homes actually book. Owner fit still depends on communication, reporting, and the contract.

    • Local market knowledge and experience
    • Property marketing and distribution channels
    • Guest communication and support
    • Dynamic pricing and revenue management
    • Cleaning and maintenance coordination
    • Transparency and owner reporting
    • Guest reviews and overall guest satisfaction
    • Owner reviews
    • The flexibility of the management agreement

    Guest reviews tell you how a company actually performs day to day: communication, cleanliness, and how quickly problems get solved during a stay. Owner reviews tell you the other side: how responsive a company is, how clearly they report back, and whether owners feel like a priority.

    The best company for one property owner may not always be the best fit for another. Your property's location, type, and your own goals should all play a role in the decision.

    1. Leisr Stays

    Leisr Stays is a vacation rental manager for owners who want the property cared for like a home, not a unit on a dashboard. In Myrtle Beach, AirDNA's last 12 month market snapshot attributes 20 listings to Leisr Stays Myrtle Beach: 4.87 average guest rating (965 reviews), 78% occupancy, $294 ADR, and about $1.03 million in revenue, roughly $51,500 per home. That is first on our quality index among named managers with 100 or more listings in the same market. We are not the biggest operator on the Grand Strand. We are built to be the ones who still answer the phone.

    The hospitality is old school. The technology is quiet. Both matter: marketing and pricing so the home can compete, and cleaning, maintenance, and guest care so people actually come back.

    We serve more than Myrtle Beach, and we are selective about homes, not by price point, but by whether the property already has design, location, or character worth stewarding.

    2. Sea Star Realty

    Sea Star Realty shows 109 listings in the same AirDNA Myrtle Beach snapshot, with 57% occupancy, a $756 ADR, and a 4.51 guest rating. The high ADR is why they sit second on a rating and ADR weighted index. Ask how they price in shoulder season and what the owner sees in reporting.

    3. SeaMountain

    SeaMountain has 109 listings, 51% occupancy, a $603 ADR, and a 4.66 guest rating. Premium ADR with a smaller local footprint. Owners should ask how occupancy at 51% is managed and whether that rate mix matches their home.

    4. Condo-World

    Condo-World is one of the larger Myrtle Beach operators in AirDNA's market snapshot, with 456 listings, 67% occupancy, a $370 ADR, and a 4.56 guest rating. High occupancy at this scale is uncommon on the Grand Strand. Owners comparing a condo heavy portfolio should still ask what is included in the management agreement and how individual homes are marketed.

    5. Myrtle Beach Destinations

    Myrtle Beach Destinations has 224 listings, 60% occupancy, a $245 ADR, and a 4.74 guest rating, the highest rating among the 100 or more listing companies on this list after Leisr Stays. A strong review score at that size is worth a closer look at how they staff guest communication and cleaning.

    6. Surfside Realty Beach Vacations

    Surfside Realty Beach Vacations has 315 listings, 61% occupancy, a $386 ADR, and a 4.54 guest rating. A higher ADR with solid occupancy can mean a stronger revenue mix. Confirm how they market beyond the local brand and what the management fee includes.

    7. Seaside Vacation Rentals

    Seaside Vacation Rentals shows 141 listings, 55% occupancy, a $375 ADR, and a 4.61 guest rating. Ask about local operations, weekend maintenance, and what the management fee includes versus billed separately.

    Editor's note: Leisr Stays is included in this comparison and is the publisher of this guide. We recommend that owners independently compare services, fees, reviews, and contract terms before choosing a property management company.

    How to Choose the Right Myrtle Beach Property Management Company

    Before choosing a company, ask how they will specifically manage and market your property. A good management company should be able to clearly explain its approach to pricing, guest communication, maintenance, and reporting.

    • How quickly do they respond to guests?
    • Where will they market your property?
    • How often do they adjust pricing?
    • What is included in the management fee?
    • How are maintenance issues handled?
    • What reporting will you receive as an owner?
    • Can you use your property for personal stays?

    Clear answers to these questions can help you avoid surprises after signing a management agreement.

    Local Expertise That Matters in Myrtle Beach

    Myrtle Beach is not a one size fits all vacation rental market. Demand can change significantly throughout the year, and different areas can attract different types of travelers.

    A local property management team should understand seasonal demand, local events, popular attractions, and the expectations of visitors coming to the area. This knowledge can help with everything from pricing and marketing to preparing the property for the right type of guest.

    Local regulations, community rules, and HOA requirements can also affect how a vacation rental operates, so it's important to work with a team that understands the local environment.

    What Leisr Stays Does Differently in Myrtle Beach

    At Leisr Stays, we focus on combining professional property management with a personalized approach for both owners and guests.

    Most companies in this space fall into one of two camps: a national company where your property becomes a number, or a local operator who cares but can't keep the operations together. We built Leisr Stays to do both at once: the attention of the host down the street, with the capability of a national operator.

    We're also selective about which homes we take on. Not by price point, but by whether a home already has something going for it: good design, a great location, real character. Homes owners are proud of, and homes we're proud to recommend.

    Our goal is to take the operational work off the owner's plate while helping each property stand out in a competitive market. This includes managing the guest experience, supporting property operations, and using effective marketing strategies to reach potential travelers.

    Every property and owner has different goals, which is why communication and transparency are an important part of our approach. In Myrtle Beach specifically we manage 20 homes, with a 4.87 guest rating, 78% occupancy, and about $51,500 revenue per listing. A named owner result still belongs here when we have one we can publish.

    Questions to Ask Before You Hire a Property Manager

    Before signing with any property management company, consider asking:

    • What is your management fee, and what does it include?
    • How do you market my property?
    • How do you determine nightly pricing?
    • How quickly do you respond to guest questions or issues?
    • Who handles cleaning and maintenance?
    • How often will I receive performance reports?
    • Are there any additional or hidden fees?
    • What happens if I want to end the management agreement?

    A good property manager should be comfortable answering these questions clearly and honestly.

    How Much Do Property Management Companies Charge in South Carolina?

    Property management fees can vary depending on the property, location, services included, and management model.

    Some companies charge a percentage of booking revenue, while others may use a flat monthly fee or add charges for specific services. Instead of focusing only on the advertised percentage, property owners should understand the total cost and exactly what services are included.

    The lowest fee is not always the best value. A company with stronger marketing, pricing, guest service, and operations may generate better overall results even if its management fee is higher.

    Leisr Stays' full service management fee in Myrtle Beach is typically 18 to 20% of booking revenue. What is included versus billed separately should be in writing before you sign. The lowest fee is not always the best value if marketing, pricing, and guest care are weaker.
