Discover the beauty of Pawleys Island
Pawleys Island has been a witness to civil wars and several major hurricanes. The remnants can be seen across the island, from its historically rich Georgetown to some of the most secluded low-country houses located along the tall oak-lined streets. The beaches on the island won’t let you down, nor would the golf courses or the quaint shops. Most of all you will fall in love with the food, the people and the place. Come discover this “arrogantly shabby” island while staying at these Vrbo accommodations.
