The Pawleys Retreat neighborhood is nestled between the Waccamaw River and Atlantic Ocean conveniently located adjacent to the elementary and high schools.

The Retreat was developed in 1983 as a gated community with both cluster units and single family homes. Originally the road system was private but it was made public in 1998 and was turned over to Georgetown County for maintenance.

The Property Owners Association was formed in 1986 and became owner controlled when the developer turned over deed in 1998. The Cluster Unit board consists of 5 elected members. They have their own Management Company and Landscape Maintenance contract. The parent POA is made up 9 board members and our Restrictions, Rules and Covenants pertain to all with some articles specific only to Clusters.

Our amenities include the Lake System, Park, Peninsula (walking trail) and Boat Storage. There are 246 property owners of which 34 are Cluster Units.
