Pawleys Island perfectly encapsulates the quieter side of Carolina’s Lowcountry. With wide open shores and a charming coastal town atmosphere, the area gives you just about everything you need for a nice, slow-paced trip to the coast. One of the best things about vacationing is taking it easy, ignoring your troubles, and spending time with those you love. There’s no better way to unplug than by taking a serene trip to the coast, which is why we’re taking you through some of Pawleys Island’s best unplugged getaway experiences.

Drop the Phone and Relax on the Beach

It’s in both towns’ namesake for a reason. Easily the highlight of any trip to the Lowcountry, these shorelines offer more than enough space for you and your family or group to grab your gear, pick a spot to lie out, and enjoy a day in the sun and sand. While the beaches are dog-friendly, dogs are allowed only during the peak season (April-September) before 9 AM and after 5 PM, on a leash.

Dive into a Good Book from the Porch

Grab a good book and settle in with relaxing views of the coastline. Reading from your home away from home gives you a chance to put down your phone, forget about daily stress, and focus on your peace of mind. Many of our rental homes and condos enjoy views of the coastline, while others sit directly on the shore! Our conveniently located rentals ensure that it’s easy for you to enjoy the beach from up close and afar.

Share an Intimate Meal with the Family

One of the best things about staying in a vacation rental is having a fully equipped kitchen. With this, you can spend quality time preparing dinner as a family before gathering in your communal dining area with a restful meal. Share stories and reflect on your group trip, and for a truly coastal-style dinner, check out some of the fresh-caught fish over at Harrelson’s Seafood Market.

Spend the Evening with a Glass of Wine

Mocktails and drinks along the beach

Watch the sunset from your balcony or deck as the beach settles in for the night. With plenty of space and everyday conveniences, a vacation rental makes it easy to slow down and reconnect. Pour a glass of wine, put away your phone, and enjoy a peaceful evening with the people you love. If you’re not a big drinker, use the kitchen area to explore your creativity and try out a fun mocktail to celebrate your trip instead.
