Flooring in a Myrtle Beach vacation rental takes more abuse in a single summer season than most residential floors see in five years. Beach sand acts as sandpaper against every wear surface. Wet feet make waterproof performance a functional requirement. Fifty guest stays a year make material specification — not just installation quality — the decision that determines whether you're replacing floors every five years or every twenty. Bakerss installs the right material for your property type. Free estimates.
100% waterproof core. 12–20 mil wear layer handles beach sand and heavy guest traffic without visible wear for 15–20 years. Looks like real hardwood in listing photos. Handles coastal humidity without expansion. Our first recommendation for any Myrtle Beach vacation rental.
The correct specification for all bathrooms, kitchens, and entry areas in coastal SC. Impervious to moisture. Handles beach sand and grit without surface damage. Easy to sanitize completely between guest stays.
Real wood veneer over a dimensionally stable core. Significantly better humidity performance than solid hardwood in Myrtle Beach's coastal climate. Appropriate for primary residences where wood aesthetics are a priority.
Not waterproof. Swells at seams from vacation rental moisture exposure and persistent coastal humidity. Requires full replacement with LVP within 2–4 years of active STR use. We specify LVP from the start to avoid this cost cycle.
