Seaside Inn #311 — Pawleys Island, South Carolina

A furnished two-bedroom lockout condominium on the campus of Litchfield Beach & Golf Resort, with Litchfield by the Sea beach privileges

The Short Version

Seaside Inn #311 is a furnished two-bedroom, two-bath condominium in Pawleys Island, South Carolina, offered at $365,000. Seaside Inn #311 sits on the third floor of a low-rise elevator building on the campus of Litchfield Beach & Golf Resort, less than a half mile from the Atlantic Ocean.

Two things make Seaside Inn #311 unusual at this price. The first is a true lockout floor plan: the second bedroom has its own exterior entry that locks independently, so the condominium can live as one two-bedroom residence or operate as two separately rentable units. The second is beach access. Seaside Inn owners hold Litchfield by the Sea beach rights at Litchfield Beach & Golf Resort pricing — the privileges of the gated oceanfront community without the oceanfront address that ordinarily comes with them.

Five Things You Will Love

1. Litchfield by the Sea's private beach, at Seaside Inn pricing. Litchfield by the Sea is the gated oceanfront community just east of Seaside Inn, sitting between Litchfield Beach and North Litchfield Beach behind a 24-hour manned guard gate. Seaside Inn ownership conveys access privileges to its amenities — the private, gate-controlled beach access, the dedicated beach parking lot, the oceanfront Beach Club with sundeck and pavilion, the beach walkways with outdoor showers and restrooms, a wheelchair beach ramp, the fishing lake and pier, a marsh overlook with floating dock, tennis and pickleball courts, and miles of paved paths through preserved marsh and maritime forest. Owning the privileges rather than the address is the entire reason a property like Seaside Inn #311 stays within reach.

2. The resort is your front yard. Seaside Inn is located on the grounds of Litchfield Beach & Golf Resort, a short walk from the resort's central amenity complex — an outdoor pool with lazy river, a children's splash play area, hot tubs, an indoor pool, a health and fitness center, tennis and pickleball courts, a stocked fishing lake, bike rentals, and paved walking and biking trails. Dining sits on the property too: Coastal Dish Lowcountry Dining, The Deck at Litchfield Tiki Bar & Grill, Starbucks, and a seasonal ice cream shop. Between the resort's amenities and Litchfield by the Sea's, an entire week here can be spent on foot or on a bike.

3. It is finished like a home, not a rental. Granite counters in the kitchen and both baths. Crown molding running through the living and dining rooms. Square structural columns with fluted grooves and molded capitals that define the open living space from the dining area and the foyer from both — the kind of detail you register the moment you walk in. Luxury vinyl plank and tile flooring, ceiling fans throughout, and a primary bath with double sinks, a glass-walled walk-in shower in matching granite, and a soaking tub with a granite surround.

4. The lockout gives you two properties inside one deed. The second bedroom has its own exterior entry that locks independently, plus a mini refrigerator of its own. Stay on one side and rent the other. Rent both sides to separate guests. Or close the door between them and use all 1,088 heated square feet yourself. Short-term rentals and long-term rentals are both permitted at Seaside Inn, and very few floor plans at this price point offer that many ways to own the same address.

5. Turnkey, single-level, and updated where it counts. Seaside Inn #311 is sold furnished. Everything sits on one floor, with both bedrooms and both baths on the primary level, an elevator in the building, a covered owner's parking space beneath it, and attached exterior storage on the ground floor for beach chairs and golf clubs. A slider off the living room opens to a screened porch with green treetop views. The roof was replaced in 2021 and the HVAC in 2024 — the two line items buyers ask about first are already handled.

Inside Seaside Inn #311

Entry and Living Areas

The foyer opens over tile flooring, framed by square columns with classic crown molding accents that separate the entry from the kitchen and dining room without closing anything off. The great room carries luxury vinyl plank flooring, crown molding, and a ceiling fan, with a slider leading to the screened porch. Integrated square columns — fluted grooves, molded capitals — define the great room from the dining area while keeping the main living spaces open to one another. The dining area continues in tile, with crown molding and columns at the corners.

Kitchen

The kitchen is laid out in an L, finished in tile with granite countertops and black appliances: dishwasher, garbage disposal, refrigerator, range, and microwave. A double-basin sink anchors the work area, and a breakfast bar with a decorative tiled mural separates the kitchen from the living space. Double doors off the kitchen open to a laundry closet with a stacked washer and dryer.

Primary Bedroom and Bath

The primary bedroom is generous, furnished with two double beds, and finished with crown molding and a ceiling fan. A deep closet handles storage, and the windows look out into bright green trees. The primary bath features double sinks with granite countertops, a walk-in shower with a matching granite interior and glass walls, a soaking tub with a matching granite surround, and a ceiling fan.

Second Bedroom and Bath — the Lockout Side

The second bedroom is also generous and also furnished with two double beds, finished in luxury vinyl plank with crown molding and a ceiling fan. What sets it apart is the exterior door: the room can be entered and locked independently of the rest of the condominium, which is what makes the lockout configuration work. The lockout side includes its own mini refrigerator. The second bath is finished in tile with a single granite-topped vanity and a tub/shower combination.

Screened Porch, Parking, and Storage

The screened porch off the great room looks into the trees. The building offers exterior elevator access, an owner's covered parking space underneath, and attached outside storage on the ground level. The buildings themselves have a certain stature — well-maintained exteriors, long interior hallways, and a solid, built-to-last feel.

How the Lockout Works

A lockout condominium is a single deeded unit divided into two independently accessible parts. At Seaside Inn #311, the second bedroom has its own exterior door and its own mini refrigerator, and the interior door between the two sides locks.

That gives an owner three modes of use:

•    Whole unit. Both sides open to each other; the full two-bedroom, two-bath condominium with 1,088 heated square feet.

•    Split rental. Both sides rented separately to two different guests at the same time.

•    Owner-occupied plus rental. The owner stays on one side while the other side generates income.

Short-term rentals and long-term rentals are both permitted at Seaside Inn. Seaside Inn #311 is currently used as a part-time residence and is not enrolled in a rental program, which means the condominium shows as a home rather than as a turned-over rental — and it means an incoming owner starts with a clean slate rather than an inherited booking calendar.

Litchfield Beach & Golf Resort

Seaside Inn is part of Litchfield Beach & Golf Resort, the 4,500-acre resort property fronting U.S. Highway 17 in Pawleys Island. Because Seaside Inn sits on the resort campus, Seaside Inn owners and their guests are within walking distance of the resort's central amenity complex.

Resort amenities near Seaside Inn include:

•    Outdoor pool complex with lazy river

•    Children's splash play area

•    Hot tubs

•    Indoor pool

•    Health and fitness center

•    Tennis and pickleball courts

•    Bike rentals

Litchfield by the Sea Privileges and the Beach

Litchfield by the Sea is a gated oceanfront community located just east of Seaside Inn, between Litchfield Beach and North Litchfield Beach, with a 24-hour manned guard gate. Seaside Inn ownership conveys access privileges to Litchfield by the Sea amenities.

Those privileges include:

•    Private, gate-controlled beach access

•    A dedicated beach access parking area

•    The oceanfront Beach Club, with sundeck and pavilion

•    Beach access walkways with outdoor showers and restrooms

•    A wheelchair beach ramp

•    The fishing lake and pier

•    A marsh overlook with floating dock

•    Tennis and pickleball courts

•    Miles of paved paths through preserved marsh and maritime forest

The beach is less than a half mile from Seaside Inn — a 10 to 12 minute walk along paved pathways, or a short shuttle or golf cart ride.

Specific amenity privileges are governed by the Seaside Inn Horizontal Property Regime documents and current Litchfield by the Sea access policies. Buyers should confirm current terms during due diligence.

Golf

Pawleys Island is one of the densest concentrations of quality public golf on the East Coast, and Seaside Inn sits in the middle of it. Courses within a short drive include:

•    Caledonia Golf & Fish Club

•    True Blue Golf Club

•    Pawleys Plantation

•    Heritage Club

•    Founders Club

•    River Club

•    Tradition Golf Club

•    Willbrook Plantation

•    Litchfield Country Club

Each course maintains its own dedicated practice area, and several rank among South Carolina's top public courses.

For an owner who plays, the arithmetic is simple: a covered parking space, ground-floor storage for clubs, a lockout that lets a foursome split the unit, and nine courses inside a short drive.

Location and Daily Life

Seaside Inn is located on the Waccamaw Neck along South Carolina's Hammock Coast, between Myrtle Beach to the north and Charleston to the south.

Owners here tend to describe the same pattern: they arrive, and then they mostly stay. Groceries, dining, and everyday services in Litchfield are close enough and easy enough that leaving stops feeling necessary. Breakfast spots sit minutes away, Hanser House and Starbucks are an easy trip, and enough restaurants deliver into the area that a night in requires no planning at all. Litchfield is central to both Pawleys Island proper and Murrells Inlet, which puts the MarshWalk, boat and jet ski rentals on the river and the inlet, and a full evening's worth of waterfront dining inside a short drive.

How Seaside Inn #311 Can Be Used

•    As a second home — exterior maintenance, landscaping, and common area upkeep are handled through the regime fee, so time here is spent on the beach rather than on the building

•    As a short-term rental — a floor plan that can be rented whole or split into two independently accessible units

•    As a golf base — covered parking, ground-floor storage for clubs, nine courses within a short drive, and a lockout that lets a foursome split the unit

•    As a low-maintenance primary residence — single-level living with elevator access to the third floor, a covered parking space beneath the building, and resort amenities within walking distance

•    As an entry point to Litchfield by the Sea beach access — the privileges without the oceanfront price

Seaside Inn #311 can serve as a vacation property, a second home, or a rental — and the lockout means those uses do not have to be mutually exclusive.
