Lakefront Villa Living at Huntington Lake in The Reserve
Pawleys Island, South Carolina
3 Bedrooms · 3 Full Baths + 1 Half Bath · 2,788 Heated Sq. Ft. · First-Floor Primary Suite · Dedicated Home Office · Two-Car Garage · Lakefront End Unit · Deeded Litchfield by the Sea Beach Access
627 Huntington Lake Circle brings together the space and function of a substantial home with the ease and lifestyle of Huntington Lake Villas. The primary suite, dedicated home office, laundry, and main living spaces are all on the first floor, while two guest suites, a loft, and exceptional storage upstairs give family, guests — and everything you want to keep — plenty of room.
The setting makes this villa particularly special. Its end-unit position and angled placement create an unusual degree of privacy toward the lake. The all-season sun room extends the living space toward the water, while two connected brick-paver patios create room for outdoor dining, grilling and entertaining, evenings around the fire pit, or simply enjoying Pawleys Island's mild weather. And for someone who still likes to putter in the garden, there is enough here to make it your own without having an entire yard to maintain.
Beyond Huntington Lake, ownership includes deeded Litchfield by the Sea privileges with private beach access and an oceanfront owners' clubhouse — bringing The Reserve and the beach together in one Pawleys Island lifestyle.
Just off the foyer, classic columns frame a dedicated home office. Its location near the front of the villa gives it useful separation from the day-to-day activity of the kitchen and great room — a true workspace rather than a room that simply happens to hold a desk. Casement windows, engineered oak flooring and custom window treatments give the office the same level of finish as the rest of the main floor.
Continue into the great room, where a cathedral ceiling and clerestory windows bring volume and light to the space. A marble-surround fireplace with dentil-molded mantel and custom built-ins gives the room architectural character. Engineered oak flooring continues through the great room and dining area, connecting the main living spaces.
The kitchen opens easily to the dining and living areas, with generous cabinetry and counter space, a raised breakfast-bar peninsula, pull-out pantry storage and under-cabinet lighting. A window over the double sink brings in natural light — always a welcome feature in a kitchen — while its custom window treatment coordinates with the dining area, a thoughtful designer detail that visually connects the two spaces. The layout provides plenty of room for everyday cooking and an easy connection to the rooms where family and friends naturally gather.
Adjacent to the kitchen, the dining area has enough definition to feel like its own space while remaining connected to the kitchen and great room. It also opens directly to the grilling patio, creating an easy connection between indoor and outdoor dining. The grill is convenient to the kitchen, and whoever is cooking outside remains part of what is happening inside rather than being separated from everyone else. Coordinated custom window treatments in the dining area and over the kitchen sink add a thoughtful designer connection between the two spaces.
The all-season sun room is one of those spaces that can quickly become a favorite. Cased windows and transoms beneath a beadboard ceiling bring the lake and surrounding landscape into the room, while its connection to the main living areas makes it feel like a natural extension of the home. The sun room also opens directly onto the back patio, making it easy to move outside to the fire pit and lakefront setting. Whether it's morning coffee, an afternoon with a book, conversation after dinner or simply watching the light change across the lake, this is a room designed to be enjoyed throughout the year.
The first-floor primary suite has a wonderful relationship with the lake. A broad bank of windows, including an arched transom, fills one side of the room and frames the water and surrounding landscape. It's the kind of view you wake up to every day — not simply a glimpse of the lake from one window.
Two walk-in closets provide generous storage, while the thoughtfully renovated 2026 primary bath brings together a sleek marble aesthetic with some very smart everyday details. Marble carries through the space, from the floor and surround of the oversized soaking tub into the walk-in glass shower, where a herringbone mosaic floor, matching niche, built-in seat, and thoughtfully placed grab rails are incorporated into the design.
A quartz double vanity with custom cabinetry offers another detail you may not notice at first: electrical outlets are built right into the vanity drawers, giving hair dryers, curling irons, and other small appliances a place to stay plugged in and out of sight. Updated lighting and a separate water closet complete a bath that manages to be beautiful, highly functional, and just a little bit envy-inducing.
Upstairs, two generously sized bedrooms with vaulted ceilings and private baths give family and overnight guests comfortable space of their own. These are substantial bedrooms, with room for more than simply a bed and nightstands. One includes a windowed nook created by the roofline — a natural spot for a reading chair, small desk or quiet sitting area. The separation from the first-floor primary suite also gives guests and homeowners a little independence when the house is full.
The loft overlooking the great room adds another generous living area. At more than 17 feet by 25 feet, there is enough space for it to have a real purpose — perhaps a second television room, reading area, game space or a combination of uses.
Then there is one of the more interesting spaces upstairs: a large conditioned walk-in room off the hallway. It provides exceptional storage as it is, but its size and conditioned space make it considerably more versatile. We have seen other Huntington Lake owners use similar spaces as a small office or craft room.
And there is still more storage. A separate walk-in attic accessed from the loft, along with additional storage in the two-car garage, provides room for holiday decorations, luggage, keepsakes, hobbies, and all the things that accumulate over a lifetime.
You don't have to decide which Christmas decorations make the move. You can keep all of them.
The outdoor setting is one of the things that distinguishes 627 Huntington Lake. As an end unit, the villa sits at a slight angle to the neighboring buildings, creating an unexpected degree of privacy while keeping the lake a key part of the view.
The two connected brick-paver patios work almost like separate outdoor rooms. The patio off the dining area is particularly convenient for grilling and outdoor dining, while the back patio off the sun room offers a more relaxed place to settle in around the fire pit and enjoy the lake. Together, they give you choices about how you use the outdoors rather than asking one patio to do everything.
The landscaping adds another dimension. The sellers have continued to develop the plantings around the villa, creating a setting that feels established and cared for while still leaving room for the next owner to make it their own. There is enough garden here for someone who enjoys puttering outside and changing things with the seasons — a little piece of ground to enjoy and make your own.
Huntington Lake has an identity of its own within The Reserve. The villas are arranged around a large lake, and the neighborhood has its own private pool and owners' clubhouse with fitness room — amenities reserved specifically for Huntington Lake Villas owners.
There is a social side to Huntington Lake as well. A welcome committee helps new owners get acquainted, while homeowner activities and seasonal gatherings create easy opportunities to meet neighbors. The pool and clubhouse naturally become gathering places, helping create the friendly, connected neighborhood atmosphere that is such an important part of life at Huntington Lake.
With a meaningful portion of exterior and neighborhood maintenance handled through the association, Huntington Lake offers owners more time to enjoy where they live.
Huntington Lake is in the midst of a two-year exterior improvement and painting project that is giving the neighborhood a fresh new look. Homeowners selected an updated palette of greys and taupes, replacing the mustard hues that dated back to the community's original construction.
The transformation is already easy to see. The owners' amenity center and several villa buildings on the opposite side of the lake are complete, offering a preview of how Huntington Lake will look as the project moves toward completion in 2027.
The association replaced the roof on this villa in 2022.
Living in Huntington Lake also means being part of The Reserve, one of Pawleys Island's gated residential communities. Beyond the Huntington Lake neighborhood itself, owners enjoy the larger Reserve setting, with landscaped common areas, ponds and roads that invite walking, biking and golf-cart rides through the community.
One of the most meaningful benefits of ownership extends beyond The Reserve gates: deeded privileges at Litchfield by the Sea.
The beach becomes part of the lifestyle, with private beach access and an oceanfront owners' clubhouse with sundeck and restrooms. Litchfield by the Sea privileges also include tennis and pickleball courts, walking and biking paths, stocked ponds and additional recreational amenities.
For a Huntington Lake owner, that adds an entirely different dimension to life in The Reserve. You can enjoy the privacy and amenities of your neighborhood at home and still have the beach waiting just down the road. This combination is one of what makes ownership here particularly appealing in Pawleys Island.
One of the appealing things about living in The Reserve is that there is no single way to do it. Private beach access is part of ownership. Golf and boating are opportunities you can add according to the lifestyle you want to create.
For golfers, The Reserve Golf Club adds another dimension to living within the gates. The private Greg Norman-designed course is complemented by practice facilities, tournaments, and golf events, while qualifying memberships include reciprocal golf privileges at other McConnell Golf properties.
But what owners appreciate about The Reserve is as much about the feel of the club as the course itself. It offers high-level private-club golf in an atmosphere that remains decidedly low-key. And because the club is right here within The Reserve, golf doesn't always have to be an outing you plan your day around.
If there's only time to walk nine holes, this is the place for that — maybe just you and the infamous Reserve turkeys out there at golden hour.
Some days call for eighteen holes with friends. Others might mean time on the practice facilities or nine holes before the light disappears. The natural Lowcountry setting is part of the experience, and the course is particularly enjoyable for golfers who like to walk.
Membership in The Reserve Golf Club is separate from property ownership and entirely optional.
For boaters, Harbor Club Marina puts the Intracoastal Waterway within The Reserve itself. Owners may contract separately for dry-stack storage or an in-water slip, and the marina also offers a boat launch, fuel dock, and other boating services. Neither boat storage nor use of the launch requires a Harbor Club Social Membership.
And if you decide boating is your thing, this is where the fun really begins. Spend an afternoon across the river at Sandy Island, where locals gather on the water, or point the boat south toward historic downtown Georgetown, tie up near Front Street and make lunch or dinner part of the trip.
Those are the kinds of days that help explain why having a marina within The Reserve is more than a line on an amenities list. It gives owners another way to experience this part of the Lowcountry — from the water.
Huntington Lake Villas combines private ownership with an association structure that takes responsibility for a meaningful portion of exterior and neighborhood maintenance. For many owners, that is part of the appeal: fewer exterior responsibilities to manage individually and more time to enjoy the home, the neighborhood, the beach, and Pawleys Island.
There are three layers to the ownership structure: Huntington Lake Villas, The Reserve, and Litchfield by the Sea. Each provides something different.
Huntington Lake Villas provides general lawn and landscape maintenance around the villas, common-area landscaping, pond maintenance, the private pool and owners' Amenity Center with fitness center, exterior painting and power washing, roof replacement, gutter maintenance, termite coverage and pest control. Homeowners remain responsible for their own windows and doors.
The Huntington Lake Villas monthly fee also includes a Spectrum cable and internet package, a significant component of the services bundled into the monthly assessment.
The landscaping arrangement provides a nice balance. The association handles routine lawn and general landscape maintenance, while owners can still enjoy and personalize the plantings immediately around their villas. At 627, the sellers have done just that, creating an established lakeside garden without taking on the maintenance demands of an entire yard.
The Reserve provides maintenance of Reserve common areas, roads and ponds, common-area landscaping, trash and recycling, and gated entry and access.
Litchfield by the Sea is the third ownership layer, providing the deeded beach and recreational privileges described above. Its current assessment is separate from both the Huntington Lake Villas and Reserve assessments.
A new purchaser does not acquire rental rights. Limited grandfathered rental rights remain for certain owners who held title before the November 17, 2021 amendment, but those rights are restricted and generally do not transfer to a new owner. A buyer purchasing this villa today cannot purchase it for use as a rental property under the current governing documents.
For buyers looking for a primary residence or second home rather than an investment rental, that policy is also part of what shapes the residential character of Huntington Lake.
Huntington Lake Villas assessment: $640 per month for this two-car-garage villa.
The Reserve HOA assessment: $219 per month.
Litchfield by the Sea assessment: $49 per month.
Additional transfer charges, separately billed insurance assessments and the active Huntington Lake Villas special assessment apply. Buyers should confirm current amounts, balances, and governing documents as part of their due diligence.
Pawleys Island is certainly no longer a secret. More people have discovered this stretch of the South Carolina coast, but it has managed to grow without feeling as though it is bursting at the seams. The beaches remain beautifully maintained and relatively uncrowded, and life here still moves at a pace that feels distinctly different from larger resort destinations.
Geography plays a big role in what makes the area special. With the Atlantic Ocean on one side and the Waccamaw River and Intracoastal Waterway on the other, opportunities to spend time outdoors extend well beyond the beach. Boating, fishing, golf, tennis, pickleball, biking and walking can all become part of everyday life.
The area has also developed a dining scene that is remarkably good for a community its size, ranging from longtime local favorites to sophisticated dining. Healthcare continues to expand as well. The alliance between Tidelands Health and MUSC Health brings the resources of South Carolina's academic medical center to the local healthcare system, supporting expanded specialty care and future investment in facilities and services throughout the region.
Pawleys Island is also remarkably well positioned. Charleston is to the south and Myrtle Beach to the north, while Myrtle Beach International Airport provides convenient air access for owners, family, and friends coming from farther away.
For all the ways Pawleys Island has grown, it still feels like a small community. Establish your weekend date-night routine and it probably won't be long before you start running into familiar faces.
And people here still turn out. The annual Pawleys Island Festival of Music & Art brings weeks of music and cultural events to the community each fall, while there's still plenty of excitement when a favorite local band is playing at the PIT or JB's Celebration Park. Brookgreen Gardens continues to be one of the region's great cultural gathering places, with art, gardens, music and events giving locals reasons to return throughout the year.
It's an interesting combination: enough going on to keep life interesting, but still small enough that you can feel connected to where you live. Pawleys Island is a community that's easy to enjoy — and easy to be proud to call home.
Maybe that's why so many people arrive in Pawleys Island thinking they're simply looking for a place at the beach — and discover they could actually live here.
Knowing Huntington Lake Villas means understanding more than the villas themselves. It means understanding how Huntington Lake fits within The Reserve, how its ownership and maintenance structure differs from the other residential sections within the gates, and how The Reserve compares with other gated communities in Pawleys Island.
Through August 1, 2026, Mariah Johnson and Hampton Roberts have represented buyers and sellers in 22 closed transaction sides in Huntington Lake Villas. That experience gives us firsthand knowledge of the neighborhood, its ownership structure, and the questions buyers most often have when considering a Huntington Lake villa.
Our experience also extends well beyond Huntington Lake. Through August 1, 2026, we have represented buyers and sellers in 80 closed transaction sides totaling more than $61 million throughout The Reserve, including single-family homes, villas, and homesites.
That broader experience matters. A buyer considering Huntington Lake may also be considering Harbor Club Villas, another property type within The Reserve or a home in a different gated Pawleys Island community. We understand those differences—from maintenance responsibilities and amenities to ownership structure and how the communities actually live.
For buyers, that means we can compare communities rather than simply sell the one we're standing in.
For Huntington Lake sellers, that perspective works in reverse. We know how to position a Huntington Lake villa within The Reserve—and The Reserve within the larger Pawleys Island market.
We aren't simply marketing a villa. We understand what makes Huntington Lake different, who it works particularly well for, and how to communicate those distinctions to the next buyer.
