ポーレイズアイランドファミリーリトリート

We are two families from Charlotte, NC. We have 6 kids between us so the house is kid-friendly and kid-approved. On The Water at Old Tram Way overlooks the marsh of Pawleys Island, SC affectionately referred to as "The Creek" by locals. Pawleys Island is the oldest seaside community in the U.S., dating back to the early 1700s. The privacy and beauty of the marsh give a respite from beach tourism but you're only minutes away from the ocean. We want to share this beach haven with other families and friends who desire a scenic, peaceful getaway with the beach only minutes away by car or canoe or by foot at low tide with creek shoes or old tennies!

We all live in the big city of Charlotte, NC and desired a home away from home to rest, relax, and enjoy the outdoors. Friends who retired in this Pawleys Island neighborhood encouraged us to consider this house. The marsh view is spectacular at any time of day whether you're viewing from master suite, main living space, back porch, dock, hammock or swing. We enjoy being away from it all to include all the beach activity of oceanfront homes. The property to our right is undeveloped, conservation land so we enjoy that privacy and quiet. Access to the salt marsh and beach are really the best of two worlds, in our minds. Renters can explore the salt marsh in our 2 2-person kayaks and canoe. The beach is a 10-minute drive away and public beach access parking on Pawleys is free.

We were attracted to the house by views of the marsh. The four of us owners worked hard to bring the indoors up to par with the outdoors. Most of our furniture and all of our beds and mattresses are new. Fresh paint throughout the house and brand new appliances in kitchen and laundry closet. One of our owners is a talented artist and her landscape paintings are hung throughout the house. The decor is current and stylish and feels more like your own newly decorated home than a beach rental house. The neighborhood is very quiet and most residents are retired and do not rent their homes out. After driving 2 miles off Highway 17, you take sandy unpaved road to our house. It is always a relief to settle in and a struggle to leave this special spot.
