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.

Replaced my 15 year old Pawley Island hammock, and cannot wait until summer to slumber in my new PI hammock!

Replacing a 15 year old PI hammock, and adding a PI hammock pillow. Cannot wait until summer to enjoy.

I received my Pawleys island hammock promptly and as described. It looks very well made and sturdy. Unfortunately I didn't have much time to experience it since the weather turned colder soon after I received it. Looking forward to spending a lot of time in it though when next spring arrives. Love that it's made here in the USA!

I ordered two hammocks for my daughter as a housewarming gift for a new vacation home. They came to her in two shipments and I was afraid one had been lost when she received only one. But the other finally arrived just as they were leaving with friends for the vacation home, and they were delighted with them.

Every time I had to go back and change something ·(e.g., I decided to add an additional hammock to my order) everything had to be re-entered that I had just filled out...frustrating!

Everyone loves the new hammock bed! We are located on Cape Cod and it’s perfect for catching the prevailing southwest breeze. Our old bed was @20 years old. I’ll report back in 20 years!

I’ve bought 3 over the years from these good folks. If they were lousy I would have stopped after the first one.

I had one Pawleys island rope hammock since 2010, it worked great and kids had a lot of fun. Finally, it wore out a few years ago. I bought a exact one from Home depot and it didn't last well this time. Ropes were worn out at the the bar. We still like the hammock but may give the polyester version a try.

Dear Leo,
Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry to hear that the hammock purchased from Home Depot did not hold up as well as you were expecting.
Please do not hesitate to contact our customer service department if you have any questions about the type of rope we use for our hammocks.
Kind regards,
Pawleys Island Hammocks Team

I used to rock my girls to sleep on mine when they were 10 and 6. Now they are 30 and 26, and my oldest is rocking my granddaughter to sleep on the same hammock. Cotton cord is finally worn out, and will be buying a duplicate to replace it. You will be very pleased with the quality of this product!!

My Pawleys Island Hammock arrived just in time for my birthday!! It is exactly what I wanted, and brought back memories of previous Pawleys Island Hammocks my family always had. It is the very best - great quality and so well made. Thank you for continuing your tradition of the best ever hammocks!

We bought our hammock (note: not directly from this site, but it is genuine from another vendor who no longer sells this item) three summers ago, and although we've had it out every summer and stored each winter, I only get time to relax in it maybe a half dozen times each summer. Being home more this summer, I've sat/laid in it more often to enjoy our outdoor space, and about 2 weeks ago, I noticed that the ropes were beginning to fray lightly. Then, a week ago, one of the ropes snapped. It didn't take long for an ENTIRE SIDE to follow, leaving me flat on my back, on the ground. While I know things aren't made to truly last forever, I specifically sought out a Pawley's Island hammock for its craftsmanship and durability. Three summers is not durable in my opinion. Just keep in mind that you may need to replace your hammock sooner than you thought!

I have had this hammock for 30 years! THIRTY! The secret is to bring it in every night. I hang it in my garage at night, and on days I'm away and won't be using it. I love it!

Wonderfully made! I was impressed with the quality and how easy it was to install.

I've been bragging about my hammock since it was delivered! Putting this hammock up as inspired a whole backyard renovation - my hammock obviously needs to be surrounded by beautiful flowers with a fire pit center piece. Thanks Pawley Island Hammocks!
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.
