When you book direct with Sea Star Realty, you cut out the middleman (OTA’s like VRBO & Airbnb) and all the extra fees they are charging you!
Finding a vacation rental has never been easier! A quick Google search will turn up hundreds of results, and Online Travel Agencies (OTAs) like Airbnb and Vrbo are usually at the top of the list. Most of the time, the same vacation rentals you find on these sites are also available through a property manager's website (like the one you're on right now). Booking Direct means you make your vacation rental reservation through the property manager's website instead of on an OTA, which results in huge savings.
No Extra Fees Means Savings in Your Pocket
When you reserve one of our vacation rental properties on other websites like an OTA, you'll often pay extra fees and charges.
When you book directly through Sea Star Realty, you can save on these fees, which means more money in your pocket for your Myrtle Beach vacation!
Free Beach Gear
You read that right - most properties booked directly through Sea Star Realty come with $250 worth of FREE beach gear!
Simply make your reservation on our website, and watch out for an email with your free beach gear credit. You'll be able to pick from a variety of items, including barbeque grills, kayaks, bikes, beach loungers, umbrellas, carts, paddleboards, and more.

Enhanced Privacy
When you book with an OTA, they’re collecting your data, and it’s not just your name and travel dates. They have files that contain your birthday, gender, email, emergency contact, payment info, credit card numbers, and more.
They can then share that information with advertising providers, increasing the risk of your personal information falling into the wrong hands. When you book directly with Sea Star Realty, you experience a more discreet and private transaction process without your information and web browsing history getting shared.
Hassle-Free Communication
Get rid of the middleman when you book direct with Sea Star Realty. We’ve all experienced the dreaded customer service experience where you go through minutes of automated computers before finally reaching a human, just to realize that person has zero personal experience with your issue.
What’s worse is if the call drops and you have to start that process all over with a totally different person! At Sea Star Realty, when you call us, you get us.
Whether you need pre-booking assistance or help during your stay, our team is ready and available for all your needs. This direct, hassle-free communication means quicker resolution should any issues arise and a direct feedback loop that ensures continuous improvement and better guest experiences based on the comments and observations you share with us.
