Forty-five homes between the ocean and the marsh, at the quiet southern edge of Litchfield by the Sea
Charlestowne Grant sits at the south end of gated Litchfield by the Sea, with the Atlantic Ocean forming its eastern boundary and the tidal salt marsh of Midway Creek bordering it to the west. The neighborhood's own homeowners association describes it as a collection of exactly 45 single-family homes, making it one of the smallest, most intimate residential sections within the larger resort.
Homes draw on Lowcountry and Charleston-style architecture: wide porches, elevated construction, and orientation designed to capture ocean breezes and views. Because the neighborhood spans both an oceanfront edge and a marsh-facing edge, homesites within the same small community can offer sunrise-over-the-ocean views on one street and sunset-over-the-marsh views a few doors down.
Ownership carries HOA dues of approximately $442 per month, covering the community pool, tennis courts, and management through Waccamaw Management, in addition to any separate Litchfield by the Sea resort fees.
The neighborhood's own HOA caps the community at 45 single-family homes, keeping inventory and traffic limited.
Charlestowne Grant is bordered by the Atlantic to the east and Midway Creek's tidal marsh to the west, a dual setting few Litchfield Beach neighborhoods share.
The neighborhood's own community page describes its pool as recently renovated and central to daily life in Charlestowne Grant.
Charlestowne Grant falls within the Georgetown County School District's Waccamaw family: Waccamaw Elementary, Middle, and High School.
Days in Charlestowne Grant tend to move between multiple beach crossovers, the community pool, and porches facing either the ocean or the marsh. The neighborhood's HOA describes the setting as fully immersed in nature while still only minutes from restaurants and grocery stores in Pawleys Island.
Some Charlestowne Grant homes operate as vacation rentals, so the neighborhood's rhythm shifts seasonally, quieter in the off-season and busier during summer weeks. Litchfield by the Sea prohibits motorcycles, RVs, campers, trailers, and trailered boats or jet skis throughout the resort, including Charlestowne Grant.

Because only 45 homes exist in the entire neighborhood, comparable sales are limited and turnover is slow. Some ownership structures within the community involve fractional or interval interests, such as multi-week or LLC-share arrangements, alongside standard full-ownership sales, so buyers should confirm exactly what type of ownership a given listing offers before assuming it is a traditional deed.
Buyers comparing Charlestowne Grant to other luxury oceanfront options should also review the Pawleys Island luxury homes for sale page, since pricing here depends heavily on oceanfront versus marsh-side positioning, home size, and renovation level rather than a single neighborhood-wide benchmark.
