I was so honored to be asked to serve on the Coastal Carolina Association of Realtors “Successful Agent Panel” on Monday, February 6 at the Litchfield Beach and Golf Resort.
Pawleys Island Real Estate
There’s a PEARL in this Oyster!
There’s a PEARL in this Oyster!
Just as an oyster sometimes surprisingly has a pearl inside of it, so does this particular Oystercatcher Villa located at 428 Retreat Beach Circle in Litchfield By The Sea, the popular beach and golf resort located about an hour and a half up the South Carolina coast from Charleston in Pawleys Island.
The current owner caught it during the building phase and added her special, upgraded touches to it including hardwood floors, surround sound, gas fireplace, and the custom designed fireplace mantle with Italian marble.
This 3 BR, 3 Bath, lake front home with 3 screened porches has never been rented, but would ton it on the rental program. It’s in pristine condition, and is just a short walk to Litchfield Beach.
Other upgrades include new appliances, tile backsplash, and upgraded interior.
The views of the lake are serene and gorgeous from the living room and three
(yes 3) screened porches!
The open floor plan allows for easy entertaining and flow from kitchen to dining, to living room with a wet bar and cozy fireplace. On the main floor there are also two large bedrooms, and a powder room for guests.
The private master suite features a whirlpool tub, separate shower, double sink vanity and opens to a sundeck, and the stairway to the upper deck.
On the ground floor is another screened porch, a storage area, and plenty of room to park. Oystercatcher residents enjoy their own private pool, exterior maintenance and all yard work.
Litchfield Beach and Golf Resort is a gated community located in Pawleys Island, South Carolina, about an hour and a half north of Charleston.
Amenities include a 24 hour manned security gate, an ocean front Beach Clu b with bathroom facilities and access to beautiful Litchfield Beach, miles of walking and bike trails, fishing and crabbing piers, and Tennis Courts. Within close proximity to the resort is a fitness facility, Starbucks, and wonderful shopping, dining and medical facilities.
(Please note that the HOA amount reflects the combined total of the Oyster Catcher Island regime and the Litchfield POA.)
428 Retreat Beach Circle is the ideal place for full time living or for a vacation home.
It’s Cabaniss….. NOT Cannabis!
It’s Cabaniss….. not cannabis!
I have two great real estate listings on Cabaniss Lane in Litchfield Plantation, a gorgeous community in Pawleys Island, South Carolina.
You would not believe how many people mispronounce the name of the street. So to clarify, that it is caBAniss, and not CANnabis, I offer the following.
Most of us have heard of Cannabis…. (and some of us admit to trying it, even if they didn’t inhale), but here is Wikipedia’s definition:
“Cannabis is a genus of flowering plant indigenous to central Asia and the Indian subcontinent. Cannabis has long been used for hemp fiber, for hemp oils, for medicinal purposes, and as a recreational drug. Industrial hemp products are made from cannabis plants selected to produce an abundance of fiber. To satisfy the UN Narcotics Convention, some cannabis strains have been bred to produce minimal levels of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the principal psychoactive constituent.
Many plants have been selectively bred to produce a maximum of THC (cannabinoids), which is obtained by curing the flowers. ”
Information about cannabis was very easy to find.
Cabaniss, however, was a little more involved. Apparently, it’s someone’s last name, but I’m not sure whose. I found a gorgeous daylily that bears the name Hemerocallis “Stephen Cabaniss.” If you’re into daylilies, you might want to click on that picture and visit their website! And there are a bunch of halls at Universities named for various folks with the last name Cabaniss. If I find out the local link,
I will update this post. (If you know the local link to the Cabaniss family, please let me in on it.)
But for now, just know that the pictures on this page link to the two properties I have listed in Litchfield Plantation on Cabaniss Lane…. like the daylily! Not the other plant.
Also, the pictures on this page link to more information about the two properties, which, by the way, are side by side and would make an awesome, marsh view estate if bought together.
Litchfield Plantation is a gated community on the river-side of Pawleys Island, South Carolina, about an hour and a half north of Historic Charleston.
Litchfield Plantation owners enjoy a full array of wonderful amenities including: a private, oceanfront community beach house on Pawleys Island with private parking, bathrooms and gathering room, an onsite marina with access to the ICW, (Waccamaw River) and a heated pool with gorgeous views of the marsh.
The former plantation house at the end of the Avenue of Oaks serves as an Inn, and a gorgeous site for weddings.

Ricefields = Pawleys Island “Kid Central”
When you ride through Ricefields and count the number of swing sets and baskeball goals, it’s immediately clear that Ricefields is one of Pawleys Island’s most “kid-friendly” neighborhoods. It’s no wonder Ricefields has gotten the nickname: “Kid Central.”
Jeff and I loved raising our kids in Ricefields.
Most everyone knows everyone else, and as Joey and Kelly were given more freedom to escape the cul de sac, and venture out down the street on their bikes and skate boards, I knew there was a friendly momma right down the street with a band-aid and a hug if needed.
We were the kind of parents that just threw the kids out in the yard and watched them multiply into a whiffle ball game. Because our kids were 4 years apart, they were always at different schools, and Ricefields was right in the middle of all them.
Ricefields is located on the west side of the Pawleys Island community, on the Waccamaw River. Close to Waccamaw schools, shopping, dining, medical facilities and Pawleys Island beaches, Ricefields offers its residents a private neighborhood swimming pool, sidewalks, streetlights, nature trail, and boat landing access to the Intracoastal Waterway.
Homes for sale in Ricefields include this charming 4BR Low Country home with an open floor plan located at 749 Fieldgate Circle.
Located on a .59 acre lot in the Ricefields Estates section, 749 Fieldgate backs up to a nature preserve, providing privacy, excellent outdoor entertaining, and a setting for the family room and screened porch that is peaceful and gorgeous.
In the heart of this home, the kitchen opens to the breakfast and living rooms and features stainless appliances, beautiful cabinets, and solid surface countertops. A split floor plan, the private master suite offers a whirlpool tub, separate shower, double sink vanity, private water closet and large walk in closet.
Two other bedrooms are on the main floor, while the 4th suite is upstairs with its own private bath.
Other features include: formal dining room, study, fenced yard, wood floors, crown moulding, built in cabinetry, fireplace, trey ceilings, irrigation system, lawn well, and lush landscaping. Beautifully appointed and well maintained, this might just be the perfect home! Come see for yourself! Ricefields is located on the west side of the Pawleys Island community, on the Waccamaw River.
Ricefields is a great place to live! And a great place to raise kids!
The SCOOP on the rumor about Troi Kaz and DeBordieu Colony!
There is a rumor going around that Troi Kaz is no longer working in the onsite real estate office at DeBordieu Colony!
It’s true! To better serve my DeBordieu Colony clients, I have moved to the Pawleys Island office of Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate – Elliott Coastal Living. (BHG for short.)
From BHG in Pawleys Island, I will be able to do my special brand of marketing under a nationally known corporate banner. The Pawleys Island location will enable me to capitalize on the Pawleys Island name recognition and zip code, and therefore, be in a great position to attract potential buyers who have never heard of DeBordieu Colony, (and sure as heck can’t spell it…..).
I will still be serving DeBordieu Colony owners who wish to sell their DeBordieu Colony property, as well, as assisting my friends and clients, buying and selling in the Pawleys Island area.
A leader in the real estate industry along the entire grand strand, Better Homes and Gardens – Elliott Coastal Living has 7 offices, including their most recent location at 95 Centermarsh in Pawleys Island (across the street from Habeneros.) I am delighted to be a part of the growing Pawleys Island office and look forward to listing and selling in DeBordieu Colony, Pawleys Island, Murrells Inlet and Georgetown!
Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate has a philosophy of selling a lifestyle, which is a perfect fit for me since I’ve been doing just that since I started at DeBordieu Colony in 1986 as the Marketing Director and Club Membership Coordinator…. OMG, that was 30 years ago! They must have hired me when I was a BABY! LOL!!!
To contact Troi Kaz, call or text 843-455-4523, or email tkaz843@gmail.com
