Pawleys Island & Litchfield Beach Oceanfront Rentals

Salt Marsh with wooden boardwalk during sunset on Pawleys Island.

If you’re looking for a vacation where the ocean is right outside your door, you’ve come to the right place. Pawleys Island and Litchfield Beach sit along one of the most laid-back stretches of the South Carolina coast. No high-rises, no overwhelming crowds, just wide-open beaches and the perfect Lowcountry charm that the area is well known for.

If you’re planning a family vacation, a group getaway, or need a few days to decompress from life at home, an oceanfront rental puts the beach right where it belongs: front and center. This is your vacation, and you deserve a stress-free experience from the moment you arrive.

The Dieter Company has been helping families find the right vacation rental since 1974. Browse our selection of Pawleys Island oceanfront rentals, Litchfield Beach rentals, or explore specific communities like Litchfield by the Sea, Litchfield Retreat, and Inlet Point Villas. Would you rather be closer to the beach without being oceanfront? Check out our walk-to-beach rentals or Pawleys Island creek and marsh rentals, too.

We have one of the largest selections of oceanfront rentals in the Pawleys Island and Litchfield Beach area. Our vacation rentals come stocked with everything you need, including fully equipped kitchens, free Wi-Fi, private outdoor spaces, and more. Search by location, number of bedrooms, or find a pet-friendly rental that works for the whole family.

And when you’re ready to take a break from the beach and the water, the area has plenty to offer. World-class golf and fresh seafood are just around the corner. Kayak through the salt marshes, pick up something unique at the Hammock Shops Village, or explore what Pawleys Island and Litchfield Beach have to offer. There’s something for everyone in the group.
