Own a piece of the Pawleys Island lifestyle in this beautifully maintained 5-bedroom, 4-bath, completely furnished coastal home. Gray Man Quarters II is one of only a few homes on Pawleys Island permitted for interval ownership — a genuinely rare opportunity. The home is divided into 13 intervals, and this is Interval 12. Each interval owner holds a deeded interest and enjoys use of the entire home for one week each quarter (four weeks per year), with the schedule rotating annually so every owner shares fairly in the prime seasons. This is an off-ocean property with ocean views from the spacious front porch and from other areas of the home. The large screened porch is the heart of the house — complete with rocking chairs, a Pawleys Island hammock, and a picnic table — and it's the perfect spot for entertaining a crowd or slipping away for a cozy afternoon nap for one. Inside, the open main living area is warm and inviting, centered on a wood-burning fireplace. All five bedrooms are tastefully decorated and generously sized, several with additional beds to comfortably accommodate large groups. The home is equipped with a ramp and has its own private walkway with direct beach access. Because it's professionally managed and cleaned by a maid service at the end of each weekly stay, the home stays immaculate and truly move-in ready for every owner's week. Spend your days on the beach, out on the creek, exploring local restaurants, or on the golf course — all just minutes away. Come make lasting memories on Pawleys Island!
