Pawleys Island never disappoints. The creek in front and the beautiful ocean in the back, the Willcox Dotterer house was perfect for our family vacation. While the bedroom furniture is a bit shabby, the linens were good and the beds comfortable.

Reviewer Comments:
This is an ideal beach house for a family gathering. The beachfront views--through enormous picture windows on two different floors--are exceptional, there is lots of communal space to hang out (without being on top of each other), the beds are comfortable, and each of the 5 bedrooms adjoins a bathroom (only one of which is shared amongst 2 bedrooms). We had 10 adults and could have slept a few more, comfortably. Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful time with our adult children and grandchildren. The house was quintessential Pawleys Island with beach furnishing, amazing view and fully equipped. The children loved crabbing and fishing off the dock in the inlet. The ocean was steps from the back porch. Tidelife was very helpful with all requests, we would recommend this property.

Home was perfect for our party of 7 adults. Plenty of room . 1st and 2nd story rooms with floor to ceiling windows facing ocean were great.. we cooked instead of going out kitchen is well equipped. One improvement could be to replace toilets they r old and r almost floor level.
Excellent location. Old vintage beach cottage with nice porches. Wasn’t crowded due to the season/time of year. Great for walking & biking. Did not fish but looked promising. Great restaurants within 10 minute drive. Wonderful golf courses nearby
The Willcox Dotterer house was a lovely location for our trip. The location was fabulous with the ocean only steps away and the creek/salt marsh on the other side of the house. With the area being a single row of house toward the southern tip of the island, the beach was not crowded. Check in/out was extremely easy and the host was very responsive to needs. It was our first trip to Pawleys Island and we all loved it.

We loved the house, the location, and had a wonderful time with family and friends! It was very comfortable!
This was a great getaway for the family. Beds were very comfy and we enjoyed the extra space to spread out for differing activities. Very quiet and plenty of outside fun with the beach and fishing creek/dock. Some enjoyed collecting seashell and watching the waves, while others enjoyed a kayak ride. Get groceries before you arrive and there is really no need to ever leave! Thanks for sharing your fabulous home!

We enjoyed a long delayed family reunion in Pawleys Island. The Wilcox Dotterer house worked perfectly for us. The house was large enough to fit 5 couples comfortably. It was clean and well equipped. Having both beachfront and creekfront allowed us to just relax, enjoy the magnificent setting and be together.

I have been coming to Pawleys Island since I was in middle school; I’m 54 now! We have stayed in several different houses on the island and have always enjoyed our time. The biggest draw back of this most recent house we stayed is there were too many steps for my aging parents and uncle. We also had more than one electrical socket not working. But overall, we had a blast!
