‘It’s madness’: North Strand police break up multiple parties at rental properties

WMBF News reports that NORTH MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WMBF) - Despite passing stronger laws against nuisance parties earlier this year, North Myrtle Beach continues to see disruptive parties at short-term rental properties.

A spokesperson for the North Myrtle Beach Police Department said police broke up several large parties involving teens at vacation rentals over the June 20-21 weekend, concentrated in the areas of Perrin and Holly Drives.

One Airbnb host said he evicted his visitors due to a large party that his neighbors informed him of.

Chris Childers said he woke up Saturday to repeated calls from neighbors and security camera notifications at his rental property on Madison Drive.

“There were probably 50, 60 kids in the yard, like people on the banisters, walking on the driveway, hanging off trees in the neighbors’ house.

It’s madness,” Childers said of the scene.
