About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Historic District,3 bedrooms & 2 full baths, one level. Fenced backyard. Porch.

Step back into time under the canopy of Live Oak trees lining the streets of a small historic town, with a bustling downtown filled with dining, shopping and site seeing just a few minutes away. along the waterway, where even boaters tie up to the boardwalk to enjoy an afternoon or evening. Others
use golf carts to drive around town. Walking is common, but ample street parking for these downtown excursions is available.

This unique, one story home welcomes you with a wide brick walkway from the public sidewalk. Off street parking is available for up to three cars. Street parking is also available.

Enter into this lovely, recently renovated with a spacious den with hardwood floors that opens onto a large, well equipped, full kitchen with a built in cushion bench with table and chairs, surrounded by windows. Azaleas bloom all around you in the spring. The kitchen overlooks a large screened in porch with rocking chairs, wicker chairs and central table; providing an excellent place to entertain or relax and enjoy your morning coffee ( furnished) or evening cocktails ( you furnish) after a long active day.

The house has 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. The queen master bedroom suite with private bath, hardwood and tile flooring. The adjacent bedroom has twin beds with hardwood doors and easy access to the main bath with a tiled walk-in shower. The third bedroom has a lovely, screened fireplace with a queen bed. There are three closets with ample hangers.

The backyard is fenced and private. Spring blooming scrubs and trees surround the back yard and small statues provide a garden atmosphere for your enjoyment.

Pawleys Island, home to Public Beaches and the famous Hammock Shops are only 10 miles north and Myrtle Beach is just 35 miles north!
Brook green Gardens is a must see, located 30 miles north in Murrells Inlet! Dining on the waterfront available there also!

Head south and you will find Historic Charleston only 60 miles away. Stop along the way to visit Historic Houses, one of which birthplace of one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, open for tour and dining in their River Room overlooking the N Santee River. On the drive don’t miss turning off to visit the historic fishing village, McClellanvile...another rare opportunity to site see and dine on fresh seafood, locally caught!

So much to do and see. But you can also enjoy the comfort of your home away from home. Cook a full meal ( get fresh seafood from local dock, Independent Seafood, just three blocks away). Kitchen has a dishwasher and garbage disposal. TV’s are furnished with Roku or Apple in the den and master bedroom. Touring, dining, and adventure brochures are provided. Books and board games are too!

Beach accessories are available for your use in the closet on the back porch closet! A washer and dryer are furnished (just requires TLC in loading.) A water hose is located at the front door to wash off the sand from you feet!

Maybe best of all, you may bring you small house trained pets with you so you don’t have to board your little loved one! They will enjoy the house and yard as much as you! You can leave them at the house while on your excursions and they can comfortably wait on your return...windows abound for them to look out!

Highly recommend!
Rice Cottage provides the perfect place for a relaxing and comfortable getaway. Spotlessly clean, comfortable beds and everything (absolutely everything!) you could possibly need during your stay. Thoughtful touches like night lights in every room were greatly appreciated. Our host was lovely and communication was top notch. Georgetown is the perfect destination in between Charleston and Myrtle Beach - quiet but an easy drive to either place. Would love to stay here again!

Disappointing Stay and Dismissive Host: A Rental Marred by Cat Urine Odor and Fleas
As a Georgetown native, my family and I have always had fantastic experiences with VRBO rentals when we visit, however, our recent booking in this rental July 10th-17th was disappointing. The cat urine odor that greeted us on arrival was promptly reported to the host who seemed unaware of any cat presence indoors, attributing the smell to a mother cat spraying due to kittens being removed from under the house. We spent the remaining hours of the first day cleaning, trying to mitigate the smell and carefully inspecting the rest of the rental. The host offered Lysol, coffee grounds, and a cleaning fee refund, which only partially mitigated the issue. As natives of the area, we are well-versed in dealing with the local mosquito population. By July 14th, we noticed peculiar bites. We initially assumed them to be mosquito bites, however their unique pattern and the discovery of fleas made us realize that they were flea bites by the 16th. We promptly notified the host. Despite photographic evidence of fleas and the distinctive bite patterns, the host dismissed our concerns, dubbing the photographed fleas as lint. Our departure on July 17th brought relief rather than post-vacation blues. I write this review to caution potential renters of our experience characterized by cleanliness issues, an unrelenting cat urine smell, a flea infestation, and a dismissive host. Every guest deserves a clean and pest-free stay, so they can enjoy Georgetown's charm, unspoiled by such issues.

Perfect As Always
This wasn't our first time staying at the Rice Cottage and it most certainly won't be our last. It is truly a home away from home. We stayed this weekend while we fished the Georgetown Blue Marlin Tournament. Unfortunately the weather wasn't the greatest, so the tournament kept getting pushed back. The owner was so understanding and kind enough to work with us on rearranging our dates. Her communication is wonderful and she's so easy to work with!

Cozy house with all the comforts of home. Within walking distance of downtown Georgetown and numerous restaurants. There was a city water problem while we were in town. Betts kept us up-to-date on the situation, and even dropped off 3 cases of water for us to use until it was resolved. Would definitely stay here again.

In town for a wedding. House was in the perfect location. Very cute. Fully furnished ....including a large coffee pot for the coffee drinkers. Great linens. One of the people lost his wallet in the house [we discovered that he didn't have it as leaving for airport--he did have his license. The owner found it and sent it overnight to the owner.
