A recent guest had this to say about the property:
"A great little bungalow, very generously appointed. The setting is the kind of charming you only get in the live oaks, gardens, fountains, ferns and bright sunshine. The patio outside the bungalow is rather handsome, something you can't really get from the photos. Julie and her husband were superb hosts, attending to every need, offering guidance on local food and even helping with beach access. We were privileged to be the first guests in this bungalow, and it's highly recommended for all who may follow. Thanks Julie!"

How to find the best Georgetown, SC rental home experience:

When to visit & When to reserve a rental home:

• Summer time is high season in the Georgetown, SC area. To book the largest vacation home within your budget, we highly recommend booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at Georgetown, SC restaurants, tours, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Georgetown, SC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• The earlier your group can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are reserved very early. Booking your vacation rental six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guide magazines contain coupons for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Choosing the perfect rental in Georgetown:

• Begin by choosing your trip dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your group needs. Charming Historic Guest House in the Heart of Town has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is generally available online. If not, contact the property manager before reserving the property. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches. You'll need to determine what configuration is best for your group.
• If there's a specific Georgetown, SC attraction you crave, browse homes that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
• If your family is traveling with pets, search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request information on breed, size, and type requirements. Some hosts charge additional pet fees.

Additional considerations:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your smartphone.
• During arrival, make note of any damages to the property and immediately contact the host. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Double-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at departure. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on good feedback to compel more bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
