Myrtle Beach oceanfront condos

What these condos actually
earn.

Pick a resort, a size and whether it faces the water. This page answers three questions in one place: what has this unit type earned, how that compares with the same size and view everywhere else, and whether the asking price is attractive against it.

Every figure here is a gross income an owner reported on an MLS listing. Not a forecast, not a promise, and not what you would keep.

02 The answer

Highest Reported GRI.

The most any owner has reported earning here since 2022 — for this building, this size, and this view. It comes from a unit that actually faces that way, and the words the listing agent typed are printed underneath it.

03 The comparison

Against the same size, the same
view, and the best there is.

What the water is worth, in what owners reported

“Other units” is every unit not identified as direct oceanfront in the available MLS records — ocean view, side or city. The source records only whether a unit is oceanfront, so the three cannot be told apart.

Median of the individual owner reports since , oceanfront against other units, within each bedroom type. Built from individual reports rather than from each building's Highest Reported GRI, which is a maximum: comparing those would compare the best-reported unit on each side rather than a typical one. It is a difference between two medians of what owners reported, not a valuation of a view, and it says nothing about any one building.

04 Income against price

What each dollar of price
has bought.

GRI-to-Price Ratio = Highest Reported GRI ÷ the asking price. For every $100,000 you pay, this is what the unit has been reported to earn in a year, before costs. It is not a return, and it is not profit: the HOA fee, cleaning, management, insurance and tax all come out of that figure before anything reaches you.

Three things investors do with it. Screen fast — sort a long list before running full numbers on anything. Compare like with like — a resort and a unit type you could not otherwise weigh against each other sit on the same footing. Set your ceiling — decide the ratio you need, and the box beside this gives you the most you can pay to reach it on what that unit has actually been reported to earn.

05 How good is this evidence

What the numbers rest on.

How many records each figure rests on

Confidence on this page is these two facts and nothing else: High is five or more records with the newest from 2024 or later. Medium is three or four records, or five and more where the newest predates 2024. Low is one or two records. There is no composite score, because a score would hide which of the two inputs was doing the work.

What the market reported, year by year

Seller-reported, and unverified.

06 The limits

What this page refuses to tell
you.

Each of these is something the page could have rendered and something a reader would have believed. That is exactly why it is not here.

The next step

What the unit you are looking at
would actually earn.

This page is what owners have already reported for a whole building and unit type, gross and unverified. The specific unit listed this week has its own rental history, its own condition and its own running costs, and none of that is in the MLS. Tell us which building you are weighing and we will go and get it.

We use the numbers on this page to answer you specifically. No list, no drip sequence — a person reads it.
