Litchfield Beach SC

Bay views, stately live oaks, and white sand — three miles north of Pawleys Island.

Situated only three miles north of Pawleys Island is the affluent community known as Litchfield Beach, South Carolina. Litchfield is known for its breathtaking bay views, stately Live oak trees, and white sand beaches. Litchfield's name stems from the Litchfield Plantation, a rice plantation in the area during the 18th century.

North Litchfield Beach

Some of the most luxurious homes along the Grand Strand are found in the North Litchfield Beach section, many Oceanfront or second row.

Because of its proximity to the beautiful and private Pawleys Island, historic Georgetown, and bustling Myrtle Beach, Litchfield Beach real estate is a fine investment for a primary residence or for vacation rentals. Litchfield has a friendly down-home atmosphere where you can raise your family or enjoy your golden years.

Built for Rentals

Three to seven bedroom floor plans that accommodate whole families.

Creeks & Canals

Kayaking, crabbing and fishing without leaving the neighborhood.

Golf Communities

Sought after by buyers from well beyond South Carolina.

Litchfield Beach Oceanfront Homes

Litchfield Beach Oceanfront Homes are great for rentals not only because of their great location but because of the size and number of bedrooms. The homes in this community feature 3 to 7+ bedroom floor plans, making it easy for vacationers to find a home with enough room to accommodate their whole family.

That matters for the numbers. A larger home rents to a wider set of groups and commands a higher weekly rate than a standard beach cottage, which is why oceanfront Litchfield has held its appeal with investors as well as second-home buyers.

Living in Litchfield Beach

Litchfield Beach can offer you peaceful living in a convenient location to all of your favorite restaurants, shopping, and service areas. Many residents enjoy the area's creeks and canals with kayaking, crabbing or fishing.

This beach community also happens to be a golfer's paradise, and houses within the Litchfield Beach golf course communities are highly sought after the world over.

Murrells Inlet and its MarshWalk sit just to the north, and historic Georgetown is a short drive south.

Why Buyers Choose Litchfield Beach

Litchfield sits in the quieter half of the Grand Strand, where the beach is residential rather than resort. There are no high-rises here, the oaks are older than the houses, and the pace is closer to Georgetown than to Myrtle Beach.

It also works unusually well as a dual-purpose purchase. The large floor plans that suit a family full time are the same ones that rent best in season, so buyers who want a place to use now and hand down later tend to look here.

Note that Litchfield is in Georgetown County rather than Horry, which means a different school district and a different tax calculation from most of the Grand Strand.
