ELAINA (LACEY) GUIDO

Assistant Property Manager

How long have you lived in Pawleys Island? I moved to South Carolina in 2020.

What are your hobbies? Learning new things and enjoying a wide range of hobbies. To name a few: sewing, playing bass, and skateboarding. Always striving to grow my faith.

Favorite thing about Pawleys Island? I got engaged here in 2025! My second favorite thing is the ordinances to "Keep Pawleys As It Is" because I grew up on a barrier island in New Jersey that got overwhelmed with development. I love that locals in 1985 cane together to protect the historic charm of Pawleys.

Favorite local restaurant? My two favorites are Yagi Sushi and Bistro 217.

If you only had a few days to spend on Pawleys Island, what would you recommend doing? I would recommend a dawn-to-dusk beach day, since you are able to view both the sunrise and sunset her. On the mainland, I suggest heading to Huntington State Park to walk the trails and tour Atalaya Castle. If the weather isn't fit for an outdoor day, I would recommend going to All Fired Up and taking a pottery class.
