About this property

Family-Friendly Beach Home

Sandy Flat, a beach home on Pawleys Island, South Carolina, is a great place to stay for a relaxing vacation.

Sandy Flat sleeps 8 people with one bedroom (queen bed) downstairs, 2 bedrooms upstairs (queen bed in one and double and twin in the other). Children love the upstairs loft with its twin and trundle beds. Baths with shower and tub on each floor. Outside enclosed shower has hot water. Deck has beautiful clear view of Pawleys Creek. The ocean can be seen and heard from the upstairs bedrooms. Wifi and 3 television sets are included.

We do not furnish sheets and towels, normally. Rentals on Pawleys Island usually have an additional fee for sheets and towels. Therefore, many people prefer to bring their own sheets and towels. Talk with me about this I as can furnish them, and you can make the beds yourself.

Parking is available for a maximum of three cars. (Please stay on the paved drive.)

THE PET FEE OF $100 IS FOR ONE DOG. EACH ADDITIONAL DOG IS $50. Since I can’t get the VRBO software to compute this (even with the help of their technicians), if you bring more than one dog, we will need to address the payment separately. I do not accept cats.

I prefer to speak with you before before you book! However, as a safety measure, VRBO blocks our email and telephone numbers until payment had been made. After we speak, if either of us decides that Sandy Flat is not a “good fit,” you will get a full refund.

This was our first trip to Pawleys Island. We had a wonderful stay at Sandy Flats. The house is older but very clean and comfortable. It is an easy walk to the beach. We really enjoyed the convenience of nearby grocery stores, restaurants and shops. Thanks so much Nancy for a great stay. We hope to return.

Sandy Flats

We had a wonderful time at Sandy Flats. The walk to the beach was short and easy. The beach wasn't crowded and the water in late June was still refreshing. We saw lots of marine life and shells. The view of the marsh was beautiful. A great place to see the sunset and watch the birds. The beds were comfy and gave our family of 5 plenty of options. We even had enough beds for the cousins to stay over one night. There are close grocery stores and restaurants. Nancy was wuick to answer any questions we had. There were beach chairs, beach toys, a baby swing, kids swing, and porch swing to enjoy. The outdoor shower was great to rinse off in before going in the house. It was a perfect place for us. We will back again.

Lovely Pawley's Beach House

Loved our stay at Sandy Flats...if you like old school Pawley's Island, you will love this house. Unmatched creek views and 3 minute walk to the beach with easy access. Nancy is a wonderful host and very communicative...also a brilliant artist with her works throughout the house. We had everything we needed and had a relaxed stay. As the saying goes, it is arrogantly shabby which in my book is a great thing. Well stocked and comfortable. Will be back.

Great Stay at Sandy Flats

For the price, you really can't ask for much more. The property was clean and we found everything in working order. The property owner was very gracious and helpful when we couldn't figure out how to open the key box. The mattresses could stand to be replaced, but again, for the price we paid, you can't expect luxury. Would definitely recommend this property for anyone looking to spend a relaxing time enjoying the beach and family.

Wonderful Week

My family, black lab and I had a great week at Sandy Flat. The house was everything we needed and was very comfortable. We came to the beach to truly relax and this house didn’t disappoint. Wonderful views from the deck overlooking the marsh and a nice screened in porch for those rainy afternoon showers. After sitting on the beach all day, it was also nice to come back and hammock in the breeze under the house. If you have an Eno, I suggest you bring it! The house was clean and had a kitchen with everything needed, which was nice as we mostly stay in for meals. Nancy was a pleasure to communicate with and we are already planning for a trip next year. Thank you for sharing Sandy Flat for others to enjoy.

Vacation at Sandy Flat, Pawleys Island

This little cabin is clean and has a good location, even though it’s not on the beach- it’s a short walk to the beach. The kitchen is very small, two people are crowded in it. The main sitting area has old uncomfortable furniture. Slide glass door needs to be replaced.
