With miles of fine beaches and a laid-back vibe all its own, Pawleys Island remains one of the oldest and most beloved beach getaway destinations on the East Coast. Staying at one of our vacation rentals in the Pawleys Island/Litchfield Beach area provides a place to call your own, and more importantly, slows life to a pace calibrated to the sway of moss-draped oaks, lazy meander of tidal saltmarsh creeks, and rhythmic ebb and flow of the Atlantic.
Centrally located along coastal Georgetown County South Carolina between the historic charm of Georgetown and the vibrant MarshWalk of Murrells Inlet, Pawleys Island and the Litchfield Beaches provide a peaceful retreat with easy access to all the events and interests available countywide. For generations, families have gathered to slow down, reconnect, and embrace the authentic Lowcountry way of life.
