Hi Wil - Its Elaine
I’ve taken a break from the hectic world of vacation rentals and property management to let you know what is going on this time of the year for us in the rental business. Some may think this is a quiet time – off season in Myrtle Beach - however we still have many guests coming to the grand strand for a visit, either short term or for the fall/winter months. Myrtle Beach is becoming a much sought after location for snowbirds to visit. The off season in Myrtle Beach is wonderful – there is still so much to do, less crowds and the weather is quite comfortable. I encourage anyone who has some time in the fall or winter to come down and spend some relaxing time at the beach. Once you visit Myrtle Beach – whether it is for one week, a month or even three months, you’ll be hooked and will keep coming back.
The phones are quieter in the fall, however reservations are still coming in and by the time we hit January they will become extremely busy – sometimes ringing off the hook. We are still honoring 2006 rates through December 31, 2006 but as of January 1, 2007 the rates will increase. I am in the process now of researching the vacation rental rates in the Myrtle Beach area and adjusting the 2007 rates for all our properties – they need to be ready to be updated on our reservation database and posted on our website on January 1. This is never a quick and easy task – you want to make sure that your rates remain competitive, also taking into account how well the properties performed in the past. I always give a big sigh of relief on January 1 when this has been completed as I start the marketing portion of our 'off season'.
We are also in the process of updating our website Myrtle Beach Vacation Rental website – each year we seem to give it a little bit of an overhaul and make sure all information is updated to reflect any changes. You Know I’m not the Webmaster!, however I used to be a programmer in my previous career and have learned how to help out with some of the work. My business partner, Wil is the one who handles most of this work but I try to help out wherever I can.
This fall we also started working on another website geared toward our vacation rentals in Myrtle Beach Myrtle Beach Ocean Front Vacations This site is in the early stages but is coming along - it will be more condensed than www.ewarentals.com however you should still be able to get all the information needed as a prospective guest. Check it out – see what you think.
Let’s see – what else is going on...
This is the time of the year we look to take on new properties for the coming rental season. Many meetings take place with new vacation property owners to see if these properties and EWA Rentals are a good fit. Check out our vacation rental management We are a small rental company and give all our rental properties our personal attention. Most of our vacation rentals are either in North Myrtle Beach (Crescent Beach through Windy Hill) or the Ocean Forest section of Myrtle Beach.
We are always looking at new properties to see if they would be a good addition to our rental family – last year we were turning away guests who were looking for 3 bedroom condos . I hope to add a few more 3 bedroom units this year so we don’t have to turn away any guests.
Well that’s probably enough of an update for now – time to get back to business. I’ll check back with you after the New Year.
Happy Holidays,
Elaine
