Single-story duplex condos built around Osprey Lake, right in the center of the resort
Lakeside Villas sits at the center of Litchfield by the Sea, built as single-story duplex condominiums on raised foundations along Lakeside, Billfish Court, Cattail Court, and Sea Eagle Court between 1995 and 2002. Every villa faces either Osprey Lake or one of the community's smaller ponds, giving the neighborhood a noticeably quieter feel than the resort's oceanfront buildings.
The community is overwhelmingly two-bedroom, two-bath units around 1,050 square feet, with only eight three-bedroom, three-bath units in the entire neighborhood, generally closer to 1,800 square feet. Most villas include a screened porch off the living area or primary suite, positioned to take in lake views and watch the resident ducks and shorebirds on Osprey Lake.
Golf carts are permitted at Lakeside Villas, unlike some other Litchfield by the Sea sections, and Willbrook Plantation Golf Club sits immediately next door, close enough that some listings put it about 0.2 miles away.
Unlike several other Litchfield by the Sea communities, Lakeside Villas permits golf carts, with Willbrook Plantation Golf Club right next door.
Only eight 3-bedroom units exist across the entire community, making them a scarce find for buyers who need the extra space.
Most units include a screened porch overlooking the lake or a smaller pond, extending the living space outdoors year-round.
Current listings place Litchfield Beach roughly 0.7 miles from Lakeside Villas, an easy walk or golf cart ride.
Days at Lakeside Villas tend to center on the community pool and porch views of Osprey Lake, with residents commonly reporting duck and shorebird sightings on the water. A few community rules are worth knowing up front: charcoal grills aren't permitted within Lakeside Villas, and kayaking is not allowed on the lake itself, so water recreation happens at the beach rather than at home.
Myrtle Beach International Airport is less than 20 miles away, making Lakeside Villas a practical base for both full-time residents and second-home owners who fly in regularly.
