After having multiple conversations in a months time with a realtor named Skyler Hearl, about our…read more(four people in total- one couple and two separate moves and looking for another couple) moving to South Carolina from Utah. She agreed to become our agent for the Myrtle Beach Conway area. We all hit the net and found multiple listings, and sent those request to her to review. Durning several conversations about our time there being short, we would like to see as many houses as we possibly can and that we started out in the Columbia area with agents. We at first had a set date for Sunday, which she really didn't want to do. It happened that we were able to get ahead of schedule due to some of the Columbia listings had just got contracts on them and that we had a free day open so we reached out to her and let her know that if she would like to move up the schedule it's doable and will free up the Sunday. She gladly agreed to do so...then at 5am on the day of the viewings, she dropped us like a hot potato saying that she can't represent us, and that her "team" decided the same thing. via email, even after being asked to send texts, that the email is attached to a business computer and not the phone so access is limited. So we flew out here to South Carolina to look at homes and the ones in the Myrtle Beach / Conway area, now is a total bust. Now we're lost, pissed and over this and yes, you probably guessed it, a text was sent with some extremely chose words in it, but after spending time , a boat load of money and adjusting to her schedule; can you blame it. In short: Do not use this real estate agent and or if true the "team". The whole time while setting up the schedule she just seem more interested in her baseball games and private life then trying to work with customers and earn a commission. This should have been our red flag from the start. Apparently this girl does not want to do her job if it gets in the way of her personal life, there definitely isn't a feeling of drive.

She did a fantastic job with the listing and was available 24/7 to answer the multiple questions that we had as sellers.

In the end with the closer she also recommended the final sale our sale of our place was very smooth. I would highly recommend Kristin in any future buying or selling in the Myrtle Beach area

Our recent stay from **August 1-8, 2026**, Footprints IN The Sand, Oceanfront Vacation Rental at…read more(1701 S. Waccamaw Dr. Murrells Inlet, SC)** was incredibly disappointing. Rented thru SCBeach Realty which has switched to BASK AWAY. on August 1, 2026. While the house has great potential because of its size and location, the lack of basic cleanliness, deferred maintenance, and poor communication from management ruined our vacation. For the premium price charged, the condition of this property is completely unacceptable. 1. Severe Cleanliness Issues & Unfulfilled Promises The entire house was filthy upon arrival. The floors, stairs, and countertops had clearly not been properly cleaned. Every floor desperately needed to be vacuumed, mopped, and steam cleaned. Some blinds in great room were broken. Draperies desperately needed cleaned! Although the bed sheets were clean, the bedspreads were visibly dirty, stained, and covered in a residue. Cleaning crew made beds with fresh sheets, they certainly had to see dirty stains on bedspreads. We ended up washing five different bedspreads ourselves just so we could comfortably sleep in the beds. Do NOT look under beds if you drop something. When I called **SC Beach Realty** to report these issues, I spoke with **Chelsie**, who was very apologetic. She assured me that a cleaning crew was on the way and even mentioned working on a credit for the inconvenience. Unfortunately, no one ever arrived, there was never any follow-up, and the discussion about a credit simply disappeared. And no, I didn't not contact them again simply because I didn't want to wait another day in the house! The bath towels and washcloths were left among several plastic totes in the laundry room, forcing us to search and distribute towels for our group. Dirty linen bags and four pillows from the previous guests were also left at the bottom of the outside steps. They remained there for our entire stay. 2. Dilapidated and Worn-Out Furniture The furniture throughout the home is heavily stained, worn out, and well past the point of replacement. The living room sofas sag so badly that you sink into them when you sit down, making them especially uncomfortable for older adults. The beds are equally old and uncomfortable. It feels as though much of the home's original furniture has never been updated. There is a second washer and dryer on the bedroom levels, but both were unplugged and the water supply had been shut off. The gas dryer in the first floor laundry room technically worked, but it took three full drying cycles to dry a load of clothes. 3. Neglected Outdoor Amenities & Faulty Grill The outdoor pool area also showed obvious signs of neglect\. We never saw the pool serviced during our stay, and many of the pool chairs were ripped, dry-rotted, and felt unsafe to use. There was supposed to be pool maintenance 3 times a week. We never saw pool maintenance even one time, unless they came in the middle of the night. By Friday, the hot tub was in desperate need of water. The grill presented an even bigger concern. There was no propane tank when we arrived. After maintenance delivered one, we discovered the propane valve had been left fully open and propane was leaking. One of our guests immediately shut it off. Had no one noticed, the tank likely would have been empty by the time we attempted to use the grill. 4. Poor Communication & Ineffective Repairs Communication between the management companies was extremely frustrating. The new management company, **Bask Away**, sent a welcome text instructing guests to text them with any issues. I reported several problems the day after we arrived.. Other than an automated message stating the maintenance requests had been received, I never received another response. After hearing nothing, I contacted **SC Beach Realty** on Monday morning. They arranged for an electrician to address several dead kitchen outlets and sent someone to look at the broken ice machine. Unfortunately, the "repair" to the ice machine consisted only of unplugging it and plugging it back in. It still did not work, forcing us to purchase ice every day for the remainder of our stay Don't be misled by older reviews or the property's luxury description This home is DIRTY, outdated, and suffering from years of deferred maintenance. Even more disappointing was the lack of communication and follow through from both management companies For the price being charged, this property falls far below reasonable expectations. I cannot recommend staying here, and I would strongly encourage future guests to book elsewhere

We contacted customer service again, and they said they couldn't fix it until the morning. In the morning we received a text saying new sheets would be dropped off. By 5 that evening no sheets had been delivered. Contacted them again and it took another hour for them to finally agree to drop off sheets, (mind you they were not the correct sizes), and they only dropped them off because we threatened lawyers.

Candance Griffith walked thought the home and sent us a list of deficiencies. My family and I went to the home and fixed the deficiencies, sending Candance photos to show what was done. The house was absolutely in better shape than how we received it, and this is coming from a Senior Leader from the 82nd Airborne Division with two decades of service during a time of war. When it was time to receive out $2200 deposit, we received $1230. Apparently they paid a company over $500 to clean a house that was cleaned???!!! It is what it is though.

Housekeeping came back to clean again. We overheard them complaining about how they just wanted to go home. We also saw them smoking so they were probably the ones who left the cigarette butts. Betty from Dunes was unfriendly and offered to apologies. We have booked with Dunes two other times, but this will be our last time booking with them.
