About the property

Private Dock & 0.89-Acre Lot — 3BR Ranch on Pawleys Creek

Live where the marsh meets the neighborhood. This single-story ranch at 93 Mourning Dove Drive sits on an unusually generous 0.89-acre lot and delivers direct tidal-creek access plus a private floating dock — an everyday invitation to paddle, fish, or watch egrets glide by. The 1,612-square-foot layout is efficient and comfortable: three bedrooms and two baths arranged around a central living area that opens to wide outdoor spaces.

Inside, a mix of tile, hardwood-look vinyl, and carpet flows through rooms that present well for immediate occupancy and easy upgrades. The kitchen is equipped with full-size appliances (range, cooktop, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave) and gives you the opportunity to refresh finishes to your taste. The home’s single-level plan suits downsizers and families who prefer no stairs and direct access to the yard and waterfront.

Outside, the home’s standout amenity is the water access. The private floating dock on the tidal creek is ideal for kayaks, SUPs, and quiet afternoons on the water. The nearly one-acre irregular lot provides privacy and room to expand, add an outdoor entertaining area, or reconfigure landscaping for a coastal garden. Public water is available; the home currently uses a septic system — buyers should schedule an inspection for system details and capacity.

Located in the Waterford Heights area of Pawleys Island, you’re minutes from the island’s beaches and a short drive to local dining and coastal attractions. This rare combination of single-level living, generous yard, and immediate creek access makes 93 Mourning Dove Drive a compelling option for those seeking a Lowcountry lifestyle with practical everyday convenience.

Editorial neighborhood context

Waterford Heights and the broader Pawleys Island area blend quiet residential streets with Lowcountry marshland and coastal recreation. The neighborhood offers a relaxed pace, plenty of natural buffers, and convenient access to the island’s beaches, small shops, and eateries. It attracts buyers seeking an outdoor lifestyle — boating, birdwatching, and beach time — while remaining within reasonable driving distance of larger commercial centers on the Grand Strand.

Nearby access summary

Excellent access to paddling and fishing from the private dock; beaches and coastal parks are a short drive away, making outdoor recreation a core value proposition for this property.

Editorial market perspective

Pawleys Island and the surrounding Georgetown County coastal corridor continue to show steady demand for homes offering direct water access and large lots. Inventory remains relatively tight for waterfront and creek-front properties, producing a price premium versus inland homes. Median area sale prices are mid-range for the Grand Strand market, but tidal-creek and dock-equipped parcels often outperform the median — especially during peak season. Sellers who present clear documentation (dock inspection, septic report, flood disclosure) tend to convert interest to offers more quickly. For buyers, expect competition from second-home purchasers and retirees seeking low-maintenance single-level homes with outdoor recreation.
