“South Strands Pawleys Island Real Estate, “Arrogantly Shabby”
Sunday, March 22nd, 2009Welcome to the South Strands Pawleys Island Real Estate, “Arrogantly Shabby”
Pawleys Island real estate in South Carolina, located 70 miles north of Charleston and 25 south of Myrtle Beach, is known as one of the oldest summer resorts on the east coast.
The families of rice planters who owned large Pawleys Island real estate plantations on the nearby Waccamaw River first settled Pawleys island in the early 1700’s. The planters knew it was unhealthy for their families to remain on the rivers during the summer and that the seashore was much healthier. Even though they didn’t know about malaria in those days, they did know to get away! They moved their families, horses, cows, bedding, provisions and furniture to Pawleys in may of each year where they remained until the first frost in November.
From the leisurely existance has developed the charm of Pawleys that still exists today. Also, still remaining are the 12 residences in the historic district, which date from the late 1700’s to the mid 1800’s. Pawleys continues to be known for its shoeless carefree, laid-back life style, which includes crabbing in the adjacent creeks, fishing, the stories of ghosts, the rope hammocks and the unspoiled, unsophisticated, casual, delightful stretch of wide beach and sand dunes.
