Location: Pawleys Island, Grand Strand - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, USA (On the Island Itself)

Accommodations:  Traditional Beach House, 5 Bedrooms, 3 Baths (Sleeps 12)

Anchor In, a wonderful, just-renovated, family beach house on non-commercial beautiful Pawleys Island, is available for rental in all seasons. Anchor In has the delightful atmosphere of the old-style island house, but with all modern conveniences.

Pawleys Island is a rare, unspoiled, and completely non-commercial, historic resort island on the South Carolina coast. Our traditional and lovely beach house, on the island (not the mainland), has an ocean view from the top floor.

The beautiful salt marsh tidal creek, a haven for migratory birds, is less than one minute from our back door, and we have a two-decker wooden dock where you can relax and let your cares drift away in this idyllic setting.

The wide sandy beaches and the ocean are a two-minute walk from our front door, just across the street and over the sand dunes.

A two-minute drive takes you onto the mainland, with many stores, restaurants, and shops. There are quaint and historic lowcountry towns nearby to visit, and stunning local nature preserves and state parks less than an hour away. Also nearby are tennis camps, many renowned golf courses, fabulous outlet shopping malls, and entertainment arcades.

Anchor In has been owned by the same family since its original construction in 1939. (See our black-and-white photo from the 1940�s on our website!)

In addition to all the ordinary types of goods and services, local shopping on the mainland adjacent to Pawleys includes the world-famous Hammock Shop, where you can see these hand-woven, cotton rope hammocks.

There are many historic and scenic lowcountry towns nearby, starting with charming and historic Georgetown, 12 miles south of Pawleys. Walk along the boardwalk on the Sampit River, visit the rice museum, and be sure to pick up some treats from our favorite place, Kudzu Bakery and Market.

Places to experience and learn about nature abound near Pawleys. Hobcaw Barony, a 17,500-acre wildlife refuge and education center, is eleven miles south of Pawleys. Also, Brookgreen Gardens, an enthralling collection of outdoor statuary, together with a wildlife preserve, is just eight miles north.

A paradise for bird-watching can be found at Huntington Beach State Park, also eight miles from Pawleys. This park is considered by many birders to be the best birding spot on the East Coast!

Eating out and enjoying seafood in waterside restaurants is an art form in nearby Murrell�s Inlet. Fresh local fish, shellfish of all kinds, a relaxed atmosphere, and lovely views make this small town a treasure.

If your taste runs to outlet shopping, head towards Myrtle Beach - 22 miles away. Myrtle Beach also is home to world-renowned golf courses, and an exciting Pavilion.

We look forward to hearing from you, and we hope you will enjoy our island house as much as we have.

  Tamara and Ben ,
  • Our family truly loved staying at your Pawleys Island home! It was a very relaxing week for us, and your home had everything we needed. Our kids and golden retriever really enjoyed being out on the creek at low tide, kayaking, and searching for shells and egrets. Your home was so comfortable, and we expecially enjoyed reading on the porches and swinging in the hammock. Your family has done a wonderful job of renovating the house while keeping the original charm. I can't think of a more relaxing place to be and look forward to the opportunity to stay there again! Sincerely, The Lapsley family
    
    Homeowner Response:
    Thank you so much! It's such a good feeling when guests love what we love. Pawleys really is about relaxing and being comfortable, and the creek, the birds, the shells, and the hammock! :)

  • Dear Natalie and Katherine, Just wanted to drop you a line to let you know what a wonderful time we had at the Anchor In! Our 17 year old nephew and his friend bought a crab pot and caught crabs for us for dinner. We rented kayaks and bicycles and had a great time touring the marsh and the island. We met some lovely people who either own their homes or were regular visitors to the island, and they told us about the Pawleys shell (which I found one whole one, and a couple of broken ones). The house was gorgeous, and well equipped. When on vacation, we usually eat out a lot; but this time we cooked every evening! Please think of us when the schedule becomes available for 2009. Again, thank you for sharing your home!
    
    Homeowner Response:
    Thank you for sending us your positive feedback! It's so nice that you made such wonderful use of your time at Anchor In. The beach air seems to give everyone a healthy appetite, and crabs make a fine Pawleys dinner! Here's hoping you will have a return visit. best, the Moses family

  • We are just back from a week at the Anchor In with my extended family. I am hesitant to comment because - have you ever found a great restaurant, shop, etc. and been reluctant to let anyone else in on the secret - well, that is that way that I feel about the Anchor In. It FAR exceeded all of our expectations - spacious, convenient to the beach, and great dock on the creek. Truly the pictures do not give you a feel for how functional the kitchen and everything else is at this very special place. You can tell that this home has evolved over the decades to being the very functional and user-friendly facility that we spent such an enjoyable week at the end of May, 2008.
    
    Homeowner Response:
    Thank you so much for your kind and charming feedback! We feel so warmed when others share our own feelings about the beach house. :) Please come again! Best, the Moses family

    Homeowner Response:

  • Thank you so much for opening your home to my family for our summer vacation in Pawley's Island!! The house was incredible, the landscaping awesome and the weather unbelievably perfect! We felt right at home - the house was casually decorated and felt warm and welcoming the minute we opened the door. The early mornings and late evenings on the front porch and screened-in porch opened our family to enlightening conversations and laughs as we shared our time together. The beauty of the island itself was breathtaking, the quiet sound of the ocean waves relaxing and Anchor In was inviting as we stepped into its doors after a day on the beach, touring Brookgreen Gardens or shopping the local stores. We look forward to coming back to Anchor In next year!!
    
    Homeowner Response:
    It makes us so happy when people are able to see for themselves just how special Pawleys Island really is. And we've tried hard to make Anchor In a convenient and comfortable place that is also warm and inviting. Repeat visits to a familiar place are great! Many thanks for your feedback. :)

  • We had a wonderful relaxing Christmas and New Years with family and friends, both visiting and local. Anchor In was the perfect setting for this special time. It is the most well equipped property that I have ever rented at any beach. The Moses' truly anticipated our every need. Many thanks!

  • We so enjoyed our stay at Anchor In. Our first time at Pawley's, so we weren't exactly sure of what we were getting (the lay of the land and such). The Moses Family has addressed every detail. The home is beautifully equipped and decorated with plenty of space for all. We look forward to a return trip to Anchor In! Cheers!
    
    Homeowner Response:
    Thank you so much! We enjoy Anchor In and Pawleys so much, also, so we are truly excited when others discover what a special place it is. :)
