Hey Chris, I'm in Seabrook Island which is part of Johns Island which is 30 minutes due South of Charleston. My lease is up Sept 1 and the owner is making overtures about selling, but I will stay in the area. Pawley's Island/Litchfield is a good choice for a family vacation, beach is clean and whatever you need is nearby, and close enough to Myrtle to see whatever you want, while avoiding it's beaches which are teeming with bacteria, yuck.
