Weekend Getaway – Pawleys Island

Hello Friends! We recently went on a weekend getaway to Pawley’s Island SC. Two of my kids are leaving this week for college so we wanted to go on one last family vacation.

We decided to take a weekend trip.  We made reservations at Litchfield Beach and Golf Resort in Pawley’s Island, SC. We have been there before and this is our third time there.

I have to tell you that I love that place! We all do. This is not a sponsored post; I just really enjoy spending time there. Whenever we go there, we are so relaxed.

This time, I woke up early one morning and went on a long walk by myself. I took some beautiful pictures and enjoyed some time to just think, enjoy nature and get some much-needed exercise. I walked to the beach and it was about a 15-minute walk from where we were staying.

The sky was beautiful and the scenery at the resort is just so pretty and peaceful. There were people out jogging, walking with their babies in strollers and walking. We all exchanged a cheery good morning!

It’s wonderful how people are so nice and happy when they are on vacation. Everyone needs some time to relax and get away. It really does wonders for the soul. I felt as if my soul was rejuvenated.

Let me tell you about Litchfield Beach and Golf Resort. It is a wonderful place to take your family!

There are several rental options. We have stayed in a condo located in the Lakeside area of the resort. We also stayed in another condo located in another area of the resort. This condo was a loft-style condo and it was closer to the beach. This time, for our weekend getaway, we stayed in an apartment-style building that was further from the beach, but closer to the pool and lazy river. 

Families really enjoy the pool and lazy river. There is also a hot tub. There are buckets that fill with water and you can stand under them. When the buckets are full, the water pours out on the people standing under them. Kids love it!

You can walk to the beach, go to the gym, and eat at the restaurant that is on-site. They have a wonderful breakfast buffet, enjoy Happy Hour at the Tiki Bar, go to the Day Spa, Health and Fitness Center, rent a bike, play tennis, or play golf at one of the 4 centrally located courses.

We love to go to the pizza restaurant that is across the street from the resort. There is also a grocery store and other shopping across the street. The grocery store comes in handy because we usually cook some of our meals.

When we don’t cook, we enjoy pizza, ice cream, and of course seafood. We love to go to Graham’s Landing in Murrells Inlet for seafood. This time, we tried Drunken Jack’s Restaurant and Lounge and it was very good also. I think Graham’s Landing is still our favorite.

Drunken Jack’s has a wonderful atmosphere and beautiful scenery. We sat by a window and were intrigued by the goats that were on land in the inlet. We asked the waiter and he told us that the restaurant owns the goats and brings them there in the spring where they stay until fall I think. The waiter told us that the goats like to people watch! We enjoyed watching them and the people who passed by on water skis, on the Brew Boat, a boat that people pedal while they drink, and on private boats.

 We took our daughter to college yesterday and we take our son to school today. My husband and I are going to plan another getaway to Pawley’s Island and we will stay at Litchfield Beach and Golf Resort again to spend some time alone.  

I hope you are enjoying your summer. Enjoy the rest of the summer and make everyday count!

XOXO,
