At 12 Spartina Court #4, the salt marsh changes with the tide and the season just beyond the living areas and deck. Heron Marsh’s beach access is less than a three-minute walk away, and the neighborhood pool is even closer.
This renovated and furnished two-bedroom, two-bath end villa offers approximately 1,390 heated square feet in Heron Marsh Villas at Litchfield by the Sea in Pawleys Island. The deck overlooks an open, HOA-maintained lawn to the marsh, with no building interrupting the view.
The entry at 12 Spartina Court #4 opens to a stair hall with a window beside the door, and wood-look plank flooring runs from the foyer through the kitchen.
The kitchen opens to the dining area through a wide pass-through with raised bar seating, keeping the cook connected to the living space and providing another spot to sit. A window above the counter brings daylight into the work area. The 2026 kitchen renovation brought new quartz countertops, shaker cabinetry, a white tile backsplash, new stainless appliances, and recessed lighting, all within a refreshed coastal color palette. A pantry with shelving adds practical storage.
The dining area sits under a floor-to-ceiling window that spans the outer wall, with room for a full-size table and additional seating at the breakfast bar. The living room continues from it under a vaulted ceiling, with two sliding glass doors spanning the wall and opening onto the deck. Carpet, new in 2026, runs through the living and dining areas and both bedrooms, and new interior doors and door hardware were installed during the same 2026 renovation.
Bedroom #1 is on the main level, with a picture window and a closet fitted with hanging and shelf storage. Its full bath was completely rebuilt in 2026, with white subway tile carried to the ceiling on all three shower walls, a recessed niche, a frameless glass panel and door over a low curb, a marble-look counter, and a blue-gray vanity with brass fittings.
The entire second floor is devoted to Bedroom #2, with space for two beds and a seating area, recessed lighting in the sleeping alcoves and a mini-split for independent temperature control. Its full bath has a tub-and-shower combination, and the washer and dryer are located behind a sliding barn door within the suite. With one bedroom on each level, the floor plan gives owners flexibility in how the two spaces work for them and their guests.
Beneath the villa, covered parking, a storage closet and a covered patio add practical space for the things that come with time at the beach. Chairs, umbrellas and beach gear can stay downstairs rather than being carried into the living areas, making it easier to arrive, enjoy the villa and pack up when it is time to head home.
The roof dates to 2020 and the HVAC system to 2023.
1. The changing salt marsh view. The living areas and deck look across HOA-maintained lawn to the salt marsh, with no building interrupting the sightline.
2. The beach and pool are right there. Heron Marsh’s beach access is less than a three-minute walk away, and the neighborhood pool is even closer.
3. The 2026 renovation is already complete. The kitchen, main-level bath, flooring, windows and other interior finishes have already been updated—an especially meaningful advantage when Pawleys Island isn’t where you spend every week.
4. The advantages of an end unit. #4 offers more square footage, more windows and a larger deck than an interior Heron Marsh villa, with one bedroom on the main level and the entire second floor devoted to Bedroom #2 with its own full bath and washer and dryer.
5. The villa conveys furnished. The furnishings were selected to complement the renovation, so much of what is needed to begin enjoying the villa is already in place.
Owning a place at the beach is also about what needs attention when you aren’t here. At Heron Marsh Villas, the association handles building exteriors and common-area maintenance and repair, lawn and landscaping, pool service, trash, pest control and the termite contract. Windows and doors remain the individual homeowner’s responsibility.
At #4, a completed 2026 renovation, furnishings that convey, covered parking and downstairs storage add another layer of convenience. Beach chairs and gear have a place to stay, much of the work inside has already been done, and the villa is set up to spend more time enjoying Pawleys Island and less time managing the details of a place away from home.
Current annual property tax: $4,858.20 (2025) — assessed at the 6% ratio for the current owner.
HOA dues: $676 per month total, billed by two associations — Heron Marsh Villas $532 per month and Litchfield by the Sea $144 per month (as of August 2026).
What dues cover: Heron Marsh Villas — building exteriors and common-area maintenance and repair, lawn and landscaping, pool service, trash, common electric, cable and internet, pest control and termite contract, management, security, recreational facilities, and legal and accounting expenses. Windows and doors are the individual homeowner’s responsibility. Litchfield by the Sea — private beach access, owners’ oceanfront clubhouse, tennis and pickleball courts, and walking trails.
Property insurance: $6,762 per year, billed through the HOA separately from monthly dues (as of August 2026).
Owner’s HO6 policy: Individually obtained by each owner; premiums vary by carrier, coverage and limits. The current owner’s premium is approximately $998 per year.
Special assessments: None as of August 2026. A one-time $900 Litchfield by the Sea beach nourishment contribution is due at closing.
South Carolina assesses owner-occupied primary residences at 4% and second homes, rental and investment properties at 6%. The 2025 tax figure above reflects the current owner’s 6% assessment ratio. In Georgetown County, property taxes are paid in arrears, so for the calendar year in which a property is sold, the assessed value and assessment ratio remain based on the previous owner. Reassessment following the transfer takes effect in the next calendar year. A buyer’s future tax bill may differ substantially depending on the purchase price and how the property will be used. We are glad to walk through what that number may look like for your situation.
Heron Marsh Villas is a distinctive section of Litchfield by the Sea, with elevated villas arranged around a tidal fishing lake and along the salt marsh. The villas are raised on pilings with covered parking underneath, placing the principal living areas a full level above grade. Floor plans include two- and three-bedroom designs, and end units such as #4 offer more square footage, more windows, and larger decks than interior villas.
Heron Marsh has its own pool and a separate walkway to the beach, making both easy to reach from #4.
Beyond Heron Marsh, Litchfield by the Sea’s owners’ oceanfront clubhouse serves as a central beach access point with a sundeck and parking. Additional Litchfield by the Sea amenities include tennis and pickleball courts, paved walking and biking trails, and stocked ponds for fishing.
The marsh grasses shift color through the year, deepest in autumn.
Litchfield by the Sea is about a three-hour drive from Columbia and four hours from Charlotte, putting a few days at the beach—or a long weekend—within practical driving distance of two of the Carolinas’ major population centers. Drive times vary with route, starting point and traffic.

Our experience in Litchfield by the Sea extends well beyond Heron Marsh. Over the years, our transactions have taken us throughout the gates and across many of the individual communities that make up LBTS, giving us firsthand knowledge of how they differ—from property types, settings and amenities to HOA structures, management and ownership considerations. We know which questions to ask, where to go for reliable information and how the different pieces of Litchfield by the Sea fit together.
That broader experience matters when representing a property in Heron Marsh. We have represented five sales here over the past two years and established the historical high sale price for a two-bedroom Heron Marsh villa—not once, but with two separate sales at that record price, as of August 2026, per CCMLS. Just as important, we understand what buyers are comparing when they consider Heron Marsh alongside other choices within Litchfield by the Sea—and how to position those differences for a seller.
