The beach walkway has a swing where you can pause to enjoy the ocean breeze while the kids build sandcastles nearby. Porch rockers offer another spot to relax, and the outdoor shower makes it easy to rinse off after a day on the sand.

I grew up going to Pawleys Island with family and friends, staying in some of the wonderful old houses and inns, always on front beach and usually with access to the Creek. Admittedly, in the 50s and 60s and 70s we were frequently roughing it in houses that had been there for years, but had seldom been modernized. Air-conditioning was unusual, modern kitchen appliances were in short supply, and there was a lot of places where outdoor showers were the only bathing option. As It Was recreated for me and my family the very best of an old Pawleys house, but with all the modern comforts of good AC, a well-stocked kitchen, numerous comfortable places to sit or lounge, terrific beds, and both front beach and Creek dock access. I cannot imagine a better spot, as long as you are not expecting slick new construction, huge bedrooms (who needs that at the beach), or fancy decor. This place was homey, well cared-for, and perfect.
Thank you for your thoughtful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed As It Was and appreciated its classic Pawleys Island charm, modern comforts, and convenient access to both the beach and creek. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back again soon!Posted: 9/8/2026
