About this house rental
The Laughing Place is a Pawleys Island home on the South Carolina coast at the South End of Pawleys Island. A place where smiles and laughter are served and where the tide washes away all cares. Like Brer Rabbit said 'Everybody's got a laughing place where they can go ...' and this is in the heart of one of the best area islands on the South Carolina Coast. We hope you will enjoy it as your 'Laughing Place', too! The best of Pawleys, Oceanfront AND Creekside: Two-Story home with one deck and two screened porches. Laughing’ Place features three separate living areas so large groups of people have space for privacy as well. The ocean is just outside the door. Sit under the house in the shade or pull your chairs on out to sun on the beach. This home features great spaces for off season rentals where guests can work remote. Great home for fishing and close to golfing as well. Each portion of this house has a great view of the Ocean and/or the creek. New Decor and updates for 2024 include, updated/painted kitchen, painted ceilings on main level, improved indoor and outdoor furniture, new windows and sliders, additional USB stations for added convenience and so much more.

We loved the island location between the ocean and the inlet water. The kids fished, crabbed and were on the beach everyday. The eating area was great for our 5 families to do crafts, games and eating. The three units were all clean but in great need of general up keep. Lots of rusty areas, black plastic bags on windows, broken blinds, chipping/old paint and the new elevator not working. Recent maintenance efforts were obvious ( counters, shower, patio doors, dock),but it’s many years behind for routine painting or replacement. The unit was cleans and most everything was working. No remote for the one bedroom portion and tv instructions would be nice too. The beds were in great shape and overall we loved the place, but sad to see the old girl so worn out. More neglect than old and quaint.

Very good. Tidelife is a great firm to work with. I understand that the owner will consider some needed upgrades. This will help to approve the "curb" appeal. The dock on the creek was wonderful as was the location.

My big family enjoyed our second vacation together in this huge home on the beach and creek. The home has two kitchens and one kitchenette which worked well with our children and grandchildren, with four icemakers, a coffee bar with bar sink, and a widows walk on the rooftop with a 355 degree view. Just a few steps to the beach and the creek. Everything was great, and our entire family loved it! We look forward to visiting again in 2023.

Enjoyed the property. The location was very convenient to the golf courses we played. I don’t like that the only way you choose to communicate is through email. I want to have verbal communication when dealing with this type of transaction. It’s very annoying when I have to wait hours or days for an answer to a question when it should just take a moment

Reviewer Comments:
We were a bit disappointed with the general condition of two of the bathrooms in the Laughing Place. Some of the bath doors did not close and should be sanded down to do so.
We have been coming to Pawleys Island for quite some time and are used to sand, however, the sand upon arrival had not been cleaned very well both inside and out on the entry steps.
The dishwasher did not work and it appeared had not been unusable for some time as there was a partial gallon of Dawn on the sink counter for handwashing dishes.
In the King bed suite, the area rugs had rips in them and could be a tripping hazard.
On the positive, the kids enjoyed fishing from the creek dock.

Our entire family enjoyed an incredible vacation week at The Laughing Place through Tide Life Vacation Rentals! My wife and all our grown children would highly recommend it as well as the professionals at Tide Life.
We have a large family with kids and grandkids and lots of stuff, so the four bedroom main house + 2 bedroom suite plus + 1 bedroom suite allowed for plenty of privacy and quiet when exhausted grandchildren needed naps and grownups wanted to sleep later.
Having the beach / sunrise on the back and the fishing creek / covered dock / sunset on the front is perfect for grownups and children alike. The home was spacious with plenty of seating areas both inside and out, including an amazing 360 degree view widows walk on the roof. The dinner table was perfect because it seated the whole ChamFam comfortably. Also my kids loved washing the grandkids in the outdoor shower under the house after beach time.
Suzanne and her team described this place extremely well and by no stretch of the imagination did it disappoint in any way. We definitely plan to come back.

The property is perfect for a large group with multiple generations vacationing together. The location is just what we looked for with both ocean access and a dock for fishing, crabbing and sunset drinks - screened porches on both sides of the house. We thoroughly enjoyed staying and would highly recommend it.
The only recommendation we would offer is additional pots and pans, measuring cups and spoons and cooking utensils would be helpful if you are only renting the main house. If you are renting the total property you can raid the other kitchens.
for additional items.
Choose this property. You will be pleased you did!

Lovely place for a beach vacation
Overall, we loved the house and the location and would consider returning in the future. The beach is beautiful and the covered creed-side dock is perfect for fishing or just hanging out. The interior of the house is somewhat dated, but that is not unexpected at Pawleys Island. The house is essentially 3 distinct apartments, and that configuration for us was ideal as we enjoy being together but also appreciate having the option of private space.
Our main issue was that the property was under construction while we were there. When we initially arrived, the crows nest was closed due to structural issues, though within 3 days the issue had been remediated and we were able to go up there (though there were still nails and other debris). Also, the house was in the middle of being painted and the painters (though exceptionally friendly and courteous) were onsite by 7 am each morning and actively walking around on the stairs and porch areas. None of these things were show stoppers for us, though since we had other options, we would have appreciated a heads-up from the management office before we booked the vacation.

Lots of Space, Great Location
Great location on the south end of island. Loved that we could walk to the point. Main house and two apartments meant there was space to spread out and that there were plenty of nooks for reading, napping, etc. Roof deck is so nice. Owner responded quickly during our stay.

Love this home
This is our 6th year at the Laughin' Place and we will continue to rent it as long as possible. We have 4 families and there is so much room to either be all together or little spaces if you want some quiet alone time. The upgrades are great and we enjoyed the coffee/wet bar and extra ice machine. Only wish the dock were completed, I understand that is in the works, but since so many docks were damaged in the storm, it is hard to find a good contractor. We love Laughin' Place and literally count down the days until we return.
