SC Coastal STR Insurance

[Shane Bishop]

Hello BP Community,

My wife and I are under contract on a property in Murrells Inlet, SC that we intend to operate as a STR!! We are currently shopping for insurance, but wanted to see if anyone has any suggestions on particular companies that are STR friendly for coastal properties. This property comes with a pool and is, unfortunately, just inside a flood zone, which will definitely add to our insurance expense. Does anyone have any recommendations on which insurance carriers to reach out to and what discounts we could potentially ask for to lower premiums? Thank you in advance for your guidance!

@Shane Bishop Congrats on your upcoming purchase!  I refer most of my clients to Carolina Property Insurance and Field Insurance.  They're both local brokers with a strong presence on the southern end of Myrtle Beach and Murrells Inlet.  Good luck!
