RevPAR on its own is misleading, because it says nothing about unit size. A 4-bedroom home always out-earns a studio, even when the studio runs a sharper process per room. So we adjusted for it: revenue per bedroom, per night, across 58 Myrtle Beach property managers.
That spread is real money. For an operator in the bottom quarter, closing to the median is about a 19% revenue lift, roughly $8,000 a year on a single 2-bedroom home. Same market, same guests, same nights available.
Across most markets, bigger homes earn a little less per bedroom, the usual diminishing return to size, and the line here slopes down slightly. But size explains very little: only about 1% of the gap between operators. Most of the gap comes down to execution, how they run revenue management, which is why two operators running similar-size homes can land $40+ per bedroom, per night apart. The gap is revenue management, not inventory.
