Commitment to Cleanliness and Comfort
By prioritizing professional cleaning, offering a convenient linen service, and partnering with expert cleaning vendors, Rent in Myrtle provides peace of mind for owners and a superior guest experience.
Expert Cleaning Partnerships
At Rent in Myrtle, we focus on what we do best: managing your property. That’s why we’ve partnered with high-quality cleaning vendors who specialize in keeping your properties in top condition. Rather than attempting to be both a management company and a cleaning company, we’ve chosen to collaborate with experts in the cleaning field. Our cleaning providers are fully integrated into our operational software system, allowing them to receive work orders and report issues in real time, including photos. This streamlined communication enables us to quickly schedule maintenance, handle security deposits, and manage supplies efficiently.
Professional Cleaning for Property Care
Unlike competitors who charge guests high fees to rent linens—or expect them to bring their own—we offer a quality linen and towel program at no extra charge. While other management companies may profit from linen rentals, this revenue often comes at the expense of property owners. Our approach ensures guests enjoy comfort and convenience, without the burden of extra costs or needing to bring their own bedding. By providing high-quality linens as part of our service, we enhance the guest experience and maintain higher hospitality standards. This protects your property while helping to reduce wear and tear, contributing to better guest reviews and long-term asset value.
