120 oceanfront units, a five-story V, and the only lazy river on Litchfield Beach
Bridgewater sits at 601 Retreat Beach Circle, at the northern end of the gated Litchfield by the Sea resort in Pawleys Island. The building's distinctive five-story, V-shaped footprint wraps around a central oceanfront pool complex, so the large majority of its 120 one- and two-bedroom units look out over the pool, the lazy river, and the Atlantic beyond.
Units range from 514-square-foot one-bedroom suites to 1,190-square-foot two-bedroom layouts, most sold furnished and set up as turnkey vacation properties. The Taylor Keenan Team currently represents units in the building, including a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom oceanfront condo listed at 601 Retreat Beach Circle, Unit 521.
Because Bridgewater functions largely as a vacation-rental and second-home building, buyers should treat it differently from a full-time residential neighborhood: unit condition, rental history, and building-wide maintenance matter as much as the view.
Bridgewater's outdoor pool complex includes a large pool, kiddie pool, spa, and a lazy river that no other Litchfield Beach building offers.
Bridgewater is also the only building within Litchfield by the Sea with a heated indoor pool, hot tub, and exercise area reserved for owners and guests.
The V-shaped design was built specifically so the majority of the 120 units have a balcony view of the pool, the lazy river, and the Atlantic.
Bridgewater falls within the Georgetown County School District's Waccamaw family, useful for owners considering full-time use.
Days at Bridgewater tend to move between the beach, the pool deck, and the lazy river, with a ramped boardwalk connecting the building directly to the sand. Multiple elevators and luggage carts make it practical for owners and guests moving between upper floors and the parking area beneath the building.
Litchfield by the Sea itself spans more than 4,000 acres of gated oceanside property between Myrtle Beach and Georgetown, and residents commonly reference the roughly 45-minute drive to Myrtle Beach and 90-minute drive to historic Charleston as day-trip benchmarks.

All four schools fall under the Georgetown County School District. Since most Bridgewater units function as vacation rentals or second homes, this matters most for buyers planning eventual full-time use, who should confirm current zoning directly with the district.

Buyers comparing Bridgewater to other oceanfront condo options should also review the Pawleys Island homes for sale page, since unit-to-unit pricing here varies more than in most single-family neighborhoods.
