Edisto Beach
Charleston-North Charleston / Myrtle Beach-Conway-North Myrtle Beach
Two low-density SC barrier-island cottage markets (Edisto Beach 29438 + Pawleys Island/Litchfield 29585) where STR is the local economy. Edisto Beach mandates an annual Class 9.1 rental business license with a 2x non-resident fee penalty but no zone ban, no cap, no inspection. Pawleys Island town has no permanent STR-specific ordinance (2020 COVID prohibition expired). Unincorporated Georgetown County treats STR=LTR=residential. Premium 3-4BR oceanfront/creekfront SFH cottages drive $400-700+ ADR Jun-Aug at 50-65% occupancy.
STR is the explicit local economy in both markets. Edisto Beach permits residential STR with a Class 9.1 business license — no zone-based ban, no cap, no inspection regime. Pawleys Island town has no operative STR-specific ordinance on the books (the 2020 COVID emergency expired). Unincorporated Georgetown County treats STR and LTR identically as residential use. Friction is taxes + business licenses only.
