About this house rental

Nestled in Pawleys Island, this charming house for $306 per night is a great choice for your next vacation. Mace House is a beautiful family home in a quiet neighborhood, on the mainland side of the tidal creek at Pawleys, where moss hangs from live oaks and deer stroll in the evening. Located on the mainland across the marsh from the south end of the island, this house has a private dock on the frontage along the marsh and is still owned by the family that built it in 1972. A large screened porch with hammock, swing, and rocking chairs overlooks the tidal marsh where the private dock gives access for crabbing, fishing, kayaking, and watching birds - egrets, herons, and osprey in the marsh and painted buntings and whippoorwills in the woods. Glass doors across the main room let you enjoy the glorious views in the comfort of AC or heat, or you can open them and bring the sea breezes into the house. Under the house, sinks and showers let you clean up before bringing the catch into the roomy kitchen, and a big fireplace makes the great room cozy for cooler times. A short drive or boat ride, depending on the tide, takes you to the historic Pawley's beach for swimming, surfing, and walking. (Kayaks are available to rent for $75 per week for one, $50 for each additional, up to a total of six available.) This is a perfect place for a family to get away from the world and spend time together with our little collection of books and games, or with those you bring yourself. The house is large enough to offer privacy as well. Nearby are world-class golfing, shopping, historic homes and churches, and restaurants galore. The beautiful sculptures and gardens at Brookgreen are only a few miles north. Fifteen minutes takes you to Georgetown, half an hour to Myrtle Beach, and an hour to Charleston. We rent by the week only--no short-term rentals. We do offer a special on month long rentals in January and February. A few things to note: the house is not suitable for children under 5, as unfenced deep water and open railings on stairs make it dangerous. Also, the house is on stilts since it is near the water, and that means that renters must climb about 12 feet of stairs to enter, so could be difficult for people with mobility issues.

What a lovely, relaxing week in the comfy Mace House. We really enjoyed the homey feel and the beautiful marsh views from the roomy back porch. Every amenity we needed was there and we hope to return someday! Highly recommend the Mace House and its host, Nancy.

This wonderful home feels like you’re returning to a family vacation spot. With a perfect location on the marsh, the porch provides relaxing views of the water and wildlife with the roar of the ocean drifting in from the east. The dock is great for embarking on a water journey or just relaxing and bird watching. The main room is spacious and looks out across the yard, on to the marsh and on to the dunes. The neighborhood is quiet and yet close to shops, grocery stores and restaurants.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Mace House. The house is clean, quiet and located in a great place for relaxation and birding. It is a few miles outside of town, so a car is essential. The home is comfortable, roomy and relaxing. We especially enjoyed the screen porch. There is everything you need for cooking at home, but excellent restaurants nearby. The purpose of our trip was birding and the area did not disappoint. We visited Litchfield State Park every day, went to Brookgreen Gardens 5 times, enjoyed the Marshwalk at Myrrells Inlet, and walking on the docks in Georgetown. And lots in between. There are plenty of other activities in the area such as golf and the Boardwalk in Myrtle Beach. But just staying at the house, reading, knitting and walking in the neighborhood was fun too. We had or corgi Willow with us and she had a great time, too! The homeowners were easy to contact and addressed the one issue we had immediately. We would not hesitate staying at Mace House again. The quiet neighborhood on a marsh was just what we were looking for, and we loved our stay.

We had a wonderful stay at this house! The house was very clean on arrival, and the accommodations were excellent. We rented the kayaks as well and had an absolute ball with them. When you rent this house, definitely rent the kayaks as well. Thanks to these owners for allowing us a fantastic vacation!
