MEET our founder

Steven Chrobak founded Myrtle Beach Destinations with a mission to elevate the vacation rental experience in Myrtle Beach—drawing from his background as an Air Force pilot, an engineering graduate from Ohio State, and a real estate investor. After purchasing his own property in Myrtle Beach to use as vacation rental, Steven struggled to find a management company that delivered the level of service he believed guests deserved. That experience sparked a vision: to create a high-quality, trustworthy option for fellow owners who value exceptional care and hospitality.
His belief that great companies are built by great people has been the driving force behind assembling the team. Today, Myrtle Beach Destinations is the area’s top-rated local management company, backed by thousands of five-star reviews from owners and guests. At the heart of it all is a dedicated, all-local team that combines deep area knowledge with a hands-on, hospitality-first approach—committed to delivering standout results, every stay.
