I am a winter newcomer to this area and have become fascinated with the history of this property. I am wondering if anyone has ever proposed that it remain untouched as an historic landmark. If not, why not? It would be a shame to lose this piece of the history of Pawleys Island!

First, thank you for keeping the history of the McKenzie Motel and Beach alive — Frank McKenzie was my Grand Uncle. The motel closed in the late 60s, definitely not 1963.

Hi M Brandel! Little is known about the current owners of the property, but we do know that former South Carolina politician Alex Sanders sold his half-interest in the property in 2004 to a company named McKenzie Beach LLC.

I was at this site this weekend (during Irene) and wondered about the story behind it! Who owns the property now?
