After being off the rental market in 2019, the Skelton Family Beach House is back!

A Little History:

Built in 1960, the Skelton House was originally one of two Litchfield properties owned by the Kahn family. In the early 1960’s, the quaint house, nestled one row off of the beach, was used as saltwater fishing retreat by the Kahn’s and their guests. In 1966, Charles and Ellie Skelton of Easley (SC), purchased the property from the Kahn family, with the intention of making it their beachside getaway. After Hurricane Hugo made landfall in 1989, causing major damage in the surrounding areas, the house was upgraded and expanded. The once small fishing retreat had become a charming family beach house, capable of producing unforgettable vacation memories year after year. The Skelton’s, alongside their two daughters, four grandchildren, and countless family friends, would enjoy the home for more than 50 years. These days, the Skelton House is still family owned by the Skelton’s grandchildren. It is our hope that you and your family can create your own lifelong memories in the Skelton House like ones we were blessed to enjoy.

What to Expect:

The Skelton House is a 4 bedroom, 2 bath, beach house located on the second row off Litchfield Beach. The house is setup with two bedrooms/one bath on each side, with the living room, kitchen and sunroom separating the sleeping areas. This makes it perfect for multiple families, who enjoy vacationing together, but also enjoy their privacy! Enjoy your morning cup of coffee or the sounds of the ocean on warm summer nights, rocking in your chair on the large screened-in front porch. The house includes an outdoor shower to rinse off from the beach. Enjoy cooking in the fully functional kitchen. There are flat screen tv’s in all the bedrooms, sunroom, and living room. The house features ample parking, with two carports (that can fit two cars per side) and a large concrete parking pad in the front (perfect for grilling). The house has public boardwalk access to the beach less than 100ft from the front of the property. No more needing to rent a golf cart just to get your stuff from your rental house to the beach! The house is only a short drive to all the shopping, restaurants, and golf courses that the Grand Strand has to offer, making this is the perfect charmer for your family vacation or golf getaway.

Can accomodate 10 in bedrooms. Up to 4 additional guests in common areas.

Incredible Location, Family Friendly Experience
Walker’s home is extremely close to the beach, a quick 1 minute walk across the street to the public access. Recommend not bringing a wagon as there are steps. We used an oversized laundry backpack to haul our stuff and it worked great. The beach is technically Litchfield but very close to Pawley’s Island and the two are absolutely gorgeous. Bring your own beach gear and household supplies if you’re staying the week. The beds were very comfortable and the temperature regulated through a smart thermostat was perfect. The screen porch was well used- it’s breezy and cool and overlooks the other homes but it’s a wonderful spot for families to gather. There is no major dining area but having six barstools and four dining spots in the adjacent room from the kitchen made meals easy. The stove, oven and dishwasher are all brand new. It was super convenient having the outside shower/sand rinse off and the laundry room- we used it almost daily! I would highly recommend the Skelton house to any family looking for a comfortable and old fashioned beach experience. You can walk to Austin’s/Litchfield Inn and everything in Pawley’s, Litchfield and Murrells Inlet are a very short drive and we experienced very little traffic in those areas. Pawley’s Island Bakery was delicious for a special family birthday morning breakfast. Overall we absolutely loved staying at the Skelton home and would love to come back. Great for families and those with small children, babies or teenagers.

Absolutely Perfect!
The owner’s description on VRBO is spot-on! We were so pleased with this property, the location, and the experience. We felt right “at home” while enjoying our little vacation get-away. The owners really go out of their way to make you feel welcomed. The beach access is just across the street and it’s an easy walk even in bare feet! The beach itself is so peaceful. It was not crowded and at low or high tide there is plenty of gentle beach to walk on.
