Relaxing, Fun, but tainted with an ailment

Reviewed by williamt116
We loved this beautiful house by the sea. There were two problems I feel I need to mention. First, and most serious everyone who slept on the upper floor came down with an uncomfortable upper respiratory ailment during the first couple of days. It continued throughout the stay. Once the ones suffering got down by the sea they cleared up. Also the lower oven thermostat malfunctioned causing at least one burned dinner. Other than these two problems we loved staying in such a beautiful house. I would recommend the house if the problems were solved.

Enjoyable

The home was large, clean, and accommodating for my family. We had several children and they had room to play when we were indoors. The cost was a bit high, but we would probably pay it again because we absolutely love Pawleys Island.

Disappointing and somewhat stressful

Though we had rented this house 4 times a number of years ago, and were extremely happy with it, we were disappointed to see that the home seems to have been neglected over the years. It was unclean, many windows didn't work, floors and carpets were very dirty, there was black mold above one of the windows in the front upstairs bedroom, and we had quite a problem with palmetto bugs -- not a very relaxing environment.

Accommodated our family well

Because upstairs doesn't have blinds or shutters on the sunroom, it gets realy hot upstairs and doesn't cool down until night. And both times the day we arrived, the a/C was set on 78 and we didn't sleep much the first nights because it woudn't cool off. I'd suggest setting the a/C on 72 early in the morning and it wouldn't have to work so hard to catch up. Or adding window coverings. Kitchen knives wouldn't cut butter. Ice maker was so convenient. Loved the dock and being on the beach. WiFi was nice touch.

Great

Everything was great overall.A few ants in the kitchen and a coffee pot that would not cut off without unpluging it.

Great Family Time

The home was clean and in great condition. Appliances worked well. The location and dock were a plus for our family which has many varied interests. The sons enjoyed the dock for the kayak, the granddaughters liked it for boat rides in the creek and we all enjoyed fishing and crabbing. One complaint that you can't do anything about are the speeding jet skis and boats in the creek. They ran over fishing lines and scared the children on floats. Some one needs to enforce safe boating rules on the creek.

We are renting again, but ...

The house was fine, and the location is excellent. Lots of room for a couple of families and varied interests. Big dining table and good space in the kitchen. Screened porch would be nice, but having decks on both east and west sides means that shade is almost always available. Kitchen could have been equipped better and space wasn't used very well, but it worked ok. Needed to throw out some junk and leave a little room for pantry needs in the cabinets. Some minor maintenance was needed on light fixtures, closet doors, slow draining plumbing, etc, but the house was ok. Lachicotte was a little flaky in their administration of the property, imho. For starters they didn't send out a proper first invoice (one week instead two requested), they never followed up with the second invoice, they didn't order linens and towels per our request, and they didn't follow up with some small maintenance requests as they said they did. We like the house and location well enough to give it one more year, but will not stay either with Lachicotte or Willcox-Dotterer if our experience doesn't improve next year.

Nice to be home

We tried vacationing in North Carolina last year and decided there is no place like Pawleys.

This is the perfect beach rental for a family vacation. It has bedrooms and bathrooms for a large family. The creek dock is great for fishing or wishing. It's is light and airy and has great ocean and creek views. I would stay there again.
