About this property

Charming Historic Guest House in the Heart of Town

Step back in time in this charming, 1-bedroom, 1 bath Guest Cottage, part of a 200- year-old property in the heart of Historic Georgetown, SC. The recently restored guest cottage is situated in a private gated courtyard that includes a fountain spilling over into a Koi pond, an outdoor fireplace and a large outdoor dining area. Inside the cottage guests will find a spacious living area, a separate bedroom with a luxuriously appointed queen bed. a kitchenette and a private bath.

It's located just one block from the historic waterfront. Take a walk along the boardwalk and watch the fishing boats come in or spend the day shopping in the quaint historic village and enjoy fresh local seafood at the many wonderful restaurants. The guest cottage was recently remodeled and has a kitchenette with a mini refrigerator and a Keurig coffee maker. Guests will enjoy the first morning's breakfast of fruit, yogurt homemade muffins, coffee and juice. Free high speed WiFi and a 60' flat screen TV with premium cable are available if you'd like to stay plugged in. A hammock is available in the back yard if you'd rather not.

A recent guest had this to say about the property:
"A great little cottage, very nicely appointed. The setting is the kind of gorgeous you only get in the live oaks, gardens, fountains, ferns and bright sunshine. The patio outside the cottage is quite beautiful, something you can't really get from the photos. Julie and her husband were excellent 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 cottage, and it's highly recommended for all who may follow. Thanks Julie!"

Cute and Cozy

We had a great time staying at the Guest House while we were in town for a wedding. It was so cozy and fitted with every amenity we could need for a comfortable stay, including muffins and fresh fruit for our first morning's breakfast. The neighborhood is beautiful and it is only a few blocks from the main street so we were able to walk to breakfast on our second morning. Overall a great place to stay!

Adorable little abode!

This is a conveniently located suite in the backyard of the host's home. It was clean, quiet, and comfortable. A couple of times the host came into the cabin when I think they thought we weren't there. I mainly think that has to do with the fact that we were somewhat of a late booking and they were trying to bring things to the suite that they forgot to place earlier. Otherwise, a great stay. They had snacks and drinks waiting for us as well.

Wonderful location!

We were very impressed with this cottage. It was perfectly located - just about 1 block from the waterfront area. A breakfast of muffins and yogurt and fruit and juice was provided for our first morning. There was so much attention to detail. This is a lovely home and we hope to come again sometime. Georgetown is such a charming little harbor town.

Fall wedding weekend

We were in town for a family wedding. This location was perfect for walking into town and strolling under beautiful moss-draped oaks. Georgetown is so charming! We ran into our friendly hosts in town grabbing lunch. The weekend was a lovely glimpse of small town life!

Amazing Stay

My wife and I stayed 3 nights. It was a beautiful Guest House. The property was well maintained and walking distance from downtown Georgetown. The owners were amazing and actually chatted with them for an hour about the area. We were even given a short tour inside their pre civil war home. Will definitely stay again

This is one of the best if not the best experience with VRBO since we started using the service. Totally awesome property!! Wonderful homeowners, was totally blown away by the entire experience. They had some construction work going on but it did not interfere with our stay at all. The cottage was fabulous!! Can’t give the attention to detail enough stars!! Beautiful

About the host

Hosted by Julie Osteen

Host profile image
We love living on the coast of South Carolina. We fell in love with Georgetown 8 years ago and decided to make it our permanent home. We enjoy taking long walks and walking to the many restaurants and shops in the historic downtown. Georgetown is a friendly, welcoming place to be, and we are happy to share our newly renovated home and guest house with others.

Why they chose this property

You can't beat the location,,, 2 blocks from the water and tourist sites rich with history. The cottage offers guests a luxurious retreat on the grounds of a 200 year old property rich in history. Enjoy your morning coffee on the terrace listening to the sounds of the fountain or take a lazy afternoon nap in the hammock. Our place is your place during your stay.

What makes this property unique

Georgetown is a beautiful, friendly, walking community, rich in history that offers an abundance of interesting activities. There are boat tours, historic trolley tours and walking tours that offer a glimpse into the south's rich history and truly unique experiences for visitors.

You can enjoy the morning shopping in town, then pop over the bridge for an afternoon on the beach. Cap your day off with drinks overlooking the water followed by a delicious dinner at one of our many local restaurants. "Fresh catch" takes on a whole new meaning in our seafood restaurants.
