Though it’s impressive to see how many Ohioans vacation here each year, what’s more impressive are how many eventually purchase vacation homes on the Grand Strand. When I began to research & compare the stats on SC & OH, respectively, I found a few trends that help to explain this. Here are some of the larger points:

• An average Ohioan’s income is slightly larger than a South Carolinian’s, though general living expenses are lower in SC. [1]
• Houses here are also (on average) a little less costly, and the homes tend to be newer. [1]
• Retirees find the Grand Strand to be more welcoming to their generation & lifestyle needs. [2]
• A recurring influx of tourists guarantees a yearly economic stimulus, which yields job opportunities in the service industry for almost anyone wanting to work full or part-time.

Purchasing a vacation property on the Grand Strand has many perks. We’re only about an 11 hr drive from most places in OH, and direct flights from Akron to Myrtle Beach are very reasonably priced. Many who choose to relocate here during retirement do so because of SC’s relative proximity to the Northeast. Remember, Florida is another 10-14 hrs in the car! It’s important to look at all the ‘little draws’ we have here on the beach ~ great shopping, dining & recreation ~ to get a larger picture of what the ‘big draw’ actually is. Value.

Browse our MLS listings and our featured properties to find out exactly what this means in terms of dollars & cents. You work hard for your living & for your family’s well-being; it’s only natural for you to want (and feel entitled to) the best value in a vacation home. Whether you’re renting, purchasing or considering the Interval Ownership program, Beach Realty is committed to matching families with the perfect vacation property.

Stainless steel appliances, two side-by-side fridges, two ovens, large pantry, full sink & a breakfast bar round out a modern kitchen. The granite counters are spacious  ~ entertaining is an option this space makes easy. The six bedrooms have their own full bathrooms, plus a partial bath for guests.

Two stories of covered porches boast a beautiful view of the area, and overlook the decadent backyard. You may end up hanging at the house more often than you think ~ a regulation volleyball court, heated pool/jacuzzi & wet bar are right out back! Some other luxury features include:

Beach Realty is here to help you & your family do all of that, in style. With Interval Ownership, you can own a fee-simple, deeded title to a share of a luxury vacation home, for less than it would cost to rent that same luxury home for two weeks. Because this is an actual investment in real property (and not a Timeshare), your rights to your share can be treated as such. This means you are able to rent the property when not in use, use it as collateral, sell it or even will it to future generations. Your share entitles you to 4 exclusive weeks of use, rotated annually throughout the four seasons.

If you’re curious as to what kind of luxury we’re offering, take a peek at these properties. These homes are fully-furnished and ready for you to walk in & enjoy. The home, as well as the property itself, is maintained by our company. This includes all repairs, general maintenance & grounds upkeep. Of course we are happy to help facilitate the rental of your share(s) should you choose to do so. This is an opportunity to own a piece of a significant asset, one that can provide cash flow as well as gain equity. It becomes clear why this option is so much more attractive than Timeshare.

Interval Ownership is the way to give your family the vacation they deserve, and Beach Realty is eager to help you finance this option. Our family thrives on helping others live their dream on the beach, and we pride ourselves on delivering concierge service to give folks a taste of luxury on their vacation. Find out more about this incredible opportunity to own a piece of the beach, and start making memories to last a lifetime ~ contact us today.

Some say location is everything, and we’re proud to say that Beach Realty properties can be found just minutes from award-winning golf courses, sunny beaches & great restaurants. A few miles north, you & your family can enjoy all the attractions of Myrtle Beach: great shopping, amusement parks, mini-golf for the kids & plenty of nightlife for mom & dad.
