What Fee is charged by MBRV for Renting the Condo?
Rental Services are available through Myrtle Beach Resort Vacations for which we charge 30% of Gross Rental Income. There are no other charges to the Homeowner for the Rental Service. We pay any Credit Card Discounts or Travel Agents Commissions. Cleaning, Linen Service, and Sales Taxes are the responsibility of the Guest. Rentals are disbursed to Homeowners weekly, usually within a week of the time the Guest checks out.

What other costs are involved in ownership?
The only remaining cost is, of course, maintenance of the Condo. This includes repair or replacements of items, including furniture, furnishings, fixtures, equipment, and house wares, which become broken, worn out, or missing. Myrtle Beach Resort Vacations will look after these problems and bill the Homeowner, usually by deducting the costs from the Homeowner’s Rental Check. Back to Top
