Authentic “Old Pawleys" at its soulful best, this nearly 100-year-old reclaimed beach bungalow has been restored to its former glory of simplicity and charm – along with many modern conveniences.
On a slice of Pawleys running 300 feet deep, this low-rise beach front home on the north end boasts a private laid-back setting nestled comfortably between rolling sand dunes and a cedar cove.
Two screened porches provide essential outdoor living. The farm-table eating porch adjacent to the kitchen is perfectly situated to enjoy sunset suppers within the embrace of a stately live oak. The dunes-side porch has a rocking chair sitting area within the sound of the surf.
The short staircase to the first floor of this two-story home provides easy access to all the common areas, including the kitchen, sitting room and laundry area, plus two of four bedrooms and a full-size bathroom. On the second floor are two more bedrooms and a half bath. Be prepared to draw straws for the top-floor bedroom with spectacular ocean view!
Additional features include two outdoor showers, beach chairs, shaded parking betwixt and between the cedars, and private path to the beach.
This comfortable home, suffused with abundant natural light and suitably appointed for its vintage profile – complete with crooked floors, promises a magical island-living experience from a bygone era.
If you enjoy walking on the beach, fishing in the surf, swimming in the ocean, or just kicking back with family and friends in the old Pawleys tradition, then Perfect Imperfection is the perfect house for you!

PAWLEYS ISLAND: Generations of vacationing families, originally drawn by the rejuvenating salty sea air, now find the signature charm and casual character of the island just as alluring. The wide soft-sand beaches and panoramic saltmarshes, threaded with winding creeks and thrumming with the activity of coastal wildlife, provide endless enjoyment for photographers, boaters, and fishers alike. Precious porch time, held most dear at dawn and dusk, promises a lifetime of memories.
