Short Cut to Litchfield by the Sea Pawleys Island, SC - avoid Myrtle Beach traffice
We want our guests to get their vacation off to a great start. Thus, we offer this tip: If you are arriving on Saturday in the summer, we suggest you find an alternate route. Generally, it is better to come to Georgetown than to come via Conway and Myrtle Beach to Litchfield. It is a few miles longer, but takes less time and hassle. If you are coming from Columbia, you can simply come via Sumter, Manning, Andrews, and Georgetown to Litchfield. If you are a little more adventurous, prefer a little better scenery, and have a navigator, you can try our preferred back road route which is written out below.
From Charlotte Airport / Interstate 77:
From the airport take 77 south into Columbia. Take 378 East towards Sumter for a little less than 30 minutes to 261 South at a light. 261 turns into 521 towards Georgetown. Before Andrews take 521 bypass around Andrews and into Georgetown which will take you to 17 N.
Hwy 17 N. takes you directly to Litchfield by the Sea on the right side. As a point of reference, there is a traffic light where you turn right into Litchfield by the Sea.
Should be about 4 hour from Charlotte airport.
NOTE: Do not follow GPS if opting to use this route until you get onto Hwy 17 N. Then it is safe to use the GPS.
Our VACATION RENTALS www.houfy.com/4806 and www.houfy.com/4809 are located just inside the main guarded entrace to Litchfield by the Sea. If you go past the Starbucks sign on the right, you have gone too far.
