Book with the Locals Direct and Save
Posted by Booe Realty | Wednesday, February 6, 2019
In case you missed it…we are now in the days of marketing where you will hear “BOOK DIRECT AND SAVE” a lot. What does book direct and save mean you ask? Did you know you could be paying up to 10% to 15% and possibly more when you book your vacation or hotel through the “Big Online Websites” also known as “Online Travel Agents” (OTA’s)? You are not only potentially paying more for your vacation, but you are paying these OTA’s a “service fee” for using their site to book OUR inventory of properties!
Yes, when booking your vacation on these OTA’s such as Homeaway, VRBO, AirBnB, and Expedia (to name a few), you pay “service” fees in order to use these sites to book your vacation? These fees are percentage based, costing you so much more when booking. Why not save this money for your seafood feast and the many activities that await you by booking with a local agency like Booe Realty!
Sound the bells……. Today is National #BookDirect Day. What that means is, as a local expert, we are urging you to be aware of the costs associated with these “OTA’s” and we strongly encourage you to #BookDirect for bigger and better savings. OTA’s don’t offer specials and discounts. PLUS, by booking direct with us, you ‘ll be speaking with someone that is local, lives local and has actual knowledge of the area……not just reading the description from a website.
Our reservation specialists live and breathe the beach. When you talk with one of us, you know you’re talking with a local expert who knows the area. We know the area events and we want to know you. We, here at Booe Realty, are more than happy to help you find the best vacation property possible to fit your needs by utilizing our local knowledge! #BookDirect, not only for your next vacation at the beach but EVERY vacation at the beach.
We'd love to help you save money! Visit us at www.booerealty.com or call us at 1-800-845-0647.

Tis the Season with Holiday Events
Posted by Hope Robbins | Wednesday, December 5, 2018
It seems as if our fall started out with a couple of rough spots, Halloween and Thanksgiving slid right on by and now we’re saying hello December! How did we get here so fast? Not sure if it’s just me, but I feel like I blinked and the year is pretty well done! But that’s okay, we are just in time for the best time of the year!
With December rolling in, there are a plethora of holiday activities going on and the beach gets very festive this time of the year! The water may not be as warm as August, but still feels pretty good and the sand isn’t as hot as it could be, the feeling of it between your toes is nothing but pure bliss. Not to mention the ocean is still waving!
I am not sure what it is about the holiday season, perhaps the spirit of Christmas, but this time of year brings out the magic for folks. Shops are a buzz with people shopping for loved ones and friends while humming the Christmas tune being piped throughout the store. There is an excitement in the air and colored lights and decorations abound everywhere you go.
With that said, we just want to let you in on a few Events that are taking place this time of the year that the kid in us all would not want to miss!
In fact, this the perfect time to head down for a few days. No long lines at your favorite eatery, no traffic jams and you can pick the best seat on the beach and the best part of all…you can save more money.

Post Florence 2018
Posted by Hope Robbins | Friday, September 28, 2018
Thankfully, our cities along the coastline on the Grand Strand made it through Florence pretty well unscathed and are wide open and sunny!
However, our neighbors to the North were not so lucky. Areas in North Carolina were hit hardest with Florence’s wrath. Her wind and rains left some serious damage behind. But other areas, such as parts of the Outer Banks, Myrtle Beach, North Myrtle Beach, Surfside and Garden City were spared from devastation.
Behind these coastal cities are towns. Towns and communities where people live and raise families that work in these coastal cities, rely on these areas for their income and make the commute to the coast every day. These people are ones that provide the linens on the beds or cook a steak to perfection or run the little shop at one of the many shopping venues. These are people that vie to provide the perfect family vacation. These areas and these folks’ homes did not fare so well.
Here it is 3 weeks after Florence and these communities are left in a state of despair with their homes being flooded, roads being washed away and travel into the city becoming precarious and sometimes nonexistent.
For example, some of our restaurants are running slight crews because not all co-workers have access to open roads and can make it in, but a few are still there smiling and cooking up awesome goodness.
Our rural areas are weary, water logged and worried, but we want to see your smiling faces because we all want our “normal” back. We want to get back to business. We want to share our beach. We ask that you do come see us. We also ask you pack your patience and exercise kindness. As that waiter that served you dinner probably drove at least three hours from his temporary housing to be able to provide you excellent service because that’s what we are all about.
For those displaced by Florence, Booe would like to help you. Booe is offering nightly rentals or if a rental is needed longer, Booe offers monthly rentals as well. You can read more about these offers here.
We are a community that lives and breathes the beach and we love sharing it. We also know how important it is to give back to our communities in times of need. Here are a few organizations in the area that are taking donations
Habitat for Humanity
Helping Hand of MB http://www.helpinghandofmyrtlebeach.com/
- Helping Hand of MB is in need of pork and beans, pasta sauce, canned veggies- tomatoes, mixed vegetables, carrots, spinach, pinto beans, and potatoes. Also ramen noodles, instant potatoes, and canned fruit. Donations can be made Monday through Friday from 9-2. Just come to the back door for Helping Hand. In the same building as the Community Kitchen but we are a completely different agency
Harvest Hope Food Bank https://www.harvesthope.org/
United Way Hurricane Florence Recovery Fund https://www.unitedway.org/recovery/hurricane-florence
Red Cross https://www.redcross.org/
Local churches and schools are doing donation drives such as Ocean View Baptist, Conway schools, Loris schools and Kingston Elementary.
Suggested Donation Items:
- Non-Perishable Foods
- Toiletries
- Diapers
- Baby Food/Supplies

Myrtle Beach Welcomes Summer
Posted by Hope Robbins | Thursday, June 21, 2018
Happy summer 1st! Looks like it’s officially summertime!! Let the fun begin! Summertime is what songs are written about. There is nothing quite like a week away from work and the monotony of the daily routines. The warm sunny days and hot lazy nights. Vacation is where you sit back, relax and unwind from the rest of the year. Sometimes with a cool drink in your hand, sometimes a few. Summer vacation is the adult equivalent to a kid’s “schools out”.
And everyone knows when you are planning a week away with the family, everyone is in a frenzy to get packed and going! With that frame of mind, there is always something left behind. So to help out with packing, we have comprised a little list of items you may want to bring when staying in one of our Myrtle Beach vacation rentals.
Items to bring for a Myrtle Beach vacation rental stay
Laundry detergent
Additional rolls of paper towels
Additional trash can liners (large ones too!)
Additional toilet paper
Don’t forget the Antibacterial soap!
Dish sponge and towel
Napkins
Zip-Loc bags, plastic wrap, aluminum foil, etc.
Condiments, spices, etc.
Flashlight and extra batteries in case of power outage….or for the moonlight walk on the beach
First aid kit
Sunscreen and aloe (time to turn so you won’t burn!!)
Insect repellent (it’s SC and we have big Mosquitoes!!)
Beach towels
Sheets, pillowcases, bath mats, wash cloths and bath towels (unless purchasing a linen package)
Tissues
Toiletries
Hairdryer (some properties provide these)
Umbrellas (let’s hope you won’t need this one)
Rentable Items
Chairs and umbrellas set up along the beach can be rented from the nearest lifeguard station.
Contact Lack’s for rates on beach rentals at (843) 448-7741.
Contact John's Beach Service for rentals at (843) 448-6454.
These items can be rented (or purchased) from a local vendor:
Beach Chairs
Beach Umbrella
Bicycles
Baby Equipment (high chairs, strollers, cribs, etc…)
Kayaks
Surf Boards
However, also with summer comes a few storms. Although it is a word we aren’t allowed to say, June through November has all of us watching the weather. If ever there is such an event (that we hope does NOT happen), below are some links you may want to familiarize yourself with.
Red Sky Travel Insurance – For anything that could possibly mess up your vacation.
Q&A about storms – This page is a plethora of information if ever in the event there is a (NOT GONNA SAY IT). This page provides phone numbers, directions and weather information.
But now, back to the fun. Everyone is toting about “live like a local”. Well, we have some great places we like to keep secret, but we think you’ll love them as much as we do. We have spilled the beans before on a few of our favorites, but here is a list again, just in case you missed it.
