About this CompanyAt Pawleys Island Hammocks, we’ve been crafting by hand since 1889!
Cap’n Josh, as he was known, was really only seeking a cool, comfortable, stable night’s sleep onboard his boat; he never set out to be in the hammock business! But soon enough, the inevitable happened: Friends wanted a rope hammock as good as the one he’d made for himself, and then it was friends of friends, and then folks Cap’n Josh didn’t know at all. In no time, family members were pitching in to help him meet the increasing demand. Jump forward just a few decades, and the Original Pawleys Island Rope Hammock had already become the standard by which other rope hammocks were being measured. Today, we get machine assistance with a few production processes, such as rope-making and woodcutting, to capture the precision required. At Pawleys Island, we don’t view the human part of the process merely as important; we regard it as essential. Handcrafting is who we are.

Could not have been more pleased with service and product! I will only purchase hammocks from them!

We haven’t opened the box yet because it’s December and we live in CT! However, the last one we bought lasted for 29 years so I’m assuming this will be the same. I tried a hammock from Wayfair and ended up sending it back because you slid right off it. We have 6 grandchildren ages 2-8 and they love coming here to lie on the hammock and swing! Pawley’s Island is the place to buy your hammock. You cannot beat their quality.

I love your products. This is a replacement for a hammock we bought from you at least 20 years ago! Thanks for the memories! Our grandkids love it, as do we!

Just the right size. Quick delivery. Especially like that it's made in the USA.

Quality and customer service were both excellent. Bought this hammock as an anniversary gift. It was shipped immediately and follow up was helpful. I had to check on the delivery because my son had been evacuated from his home due to the California fires. The hammock is now hanging in his yard and already a family favorite. Thanks for all your help!!

Extremely helpful and responsive to our needs.

Gave this to my husband for Father’s Day and he adores it! It’s the perfect size for 2 adults to relax or one big man to spread out for a long deserved nap. The distribution of the woven cotton is very well balanced and has just the right amount of stretch when you get in. Looking forward to many years of enjoying this hammock!

I have purchased Pawley's Island hammocks for decades. I am a bit disappointed in this one compared to others I purchased in prior years. It does not seem as tightly woven; the knots are uneven at the spreader, some contacting the spreader but others far off; and even the PI identifying plate on the spreader is cheaper than in past years, when it was made of metal.

It was easy. The only problem I encountered was that I found an online discount which, when I attempted to apply it, did not go through.

Expensive but worth every penny!

Good site. Found the info on hanging distances after sending message.....
Rose H - 08/03/2020
Seemed like the roping was less thick than our past hammocks from Pawley. This is our third one in about 25 years.

I grew up swinging on one of these hammocks in North Carolina (after spending beach vacations in Pawley's Island as a kid and watching them make the hammocks). Now I have one in my own home in Massachusetts and my family of six couldn't be happier with it!

Easy and great! Thank you!

Great product, great service. I loved reading about the history to the hammock too!
Mark W - 07/25/2020
This is our second Pawley Island Hammock, replacing out first that lasted more than 15 years. This is the hammock that I will gift to friends and family.

I'm replacing a Pawley's Island Hammock from 20 years ago.
Krista S - 07/24/2020
Solid, comfortable. Wood is well varnished.

Again, products did not arrive without damage. But otherwise the experience was good.

Love Pawleys Island Hammock! Bought for my husbands birthday present to help him relax and enjoy life. So far it’s doing the trick!!

This is our second PI Hammock and we absolutely love it! The quality and craftsmanship are just what we were looking for.
Marianne G - 07/21/2020
replacement for my old Pawley's hammock that proved to attractive to the mice over the winter

This is my third hammock from you. Regrettably the first aged out and the second which was only two years old was eaten by critters over the winter. Other than that I have been very pleased with the product
Deborah C - 07/21/2020
My husband loves his hammock! It is very well made and sturdy, not to mention really comfortable.
Karen W - 06/20/2020
I have owned several of these hammocks. Lots of memories.

Love the product. Disappointed in the shipping and packaging. Product damaged on arrival.
Douglas M - 06/16/2020
The hammock replaced a similar one we bought many, many years ago and it is wonderful to have a new one. Great place to read or listen to a podcast. Thanks!

Easy to order and an exact replacement of one we had.
Carl R - 06/13/2020
The hammock arrived in great shape. It is a replacement for one we bought from you years ago. We anticipate years of relaxation. I was disappointed that it did not arrive with the double hooks necessary to attach it to our stand. I had to cut the hooks off of the old hammock and attach then to our new one. That done, we now are enjoying our hammock.

I haven't opened the box yet but I already have the same one so I'm sure it will be great.

Very easy to use your site.
Why Trust Verified Reviews?
Verified Reviews are real, authentic reviews collected from actual paying customers, using Shopper Approved's Verified Review Platform. When reviews are Verified by Shopper Approved, you know that you can trust them to make better buying decisions.
Unverified Reviews on the other hand, are reviews collected by Open Review platforms that allow anyone to leave a review, without any validation or proof of purchase. Unfortunately, most reviews you read online are Unverified Reviews, and can't be trusted.
As a consumer, here's how you can tell the difference:
Verified Reviews from Verified Review Platforms like Shopper Approved, have much higher review counts and higher overall Star ratings, because they attempt to collect reviews from every single paying customer.
Unverified Reviews from Open Review Platforms, tend to have much lower review counts and more negative Star ratings, because people with bad experiences are primarily those who leave reviews. This often creates a misleading, inaccurate portrayal of a companies true reputation.
So, when searching for Verified Reviews, look for the name you know you can trust. Shopper Approved.
