My family and enjoyed every part of our vacation. The house is very quaint and has everything you need. The host is accommodating, we arrived earlier than 4:00 and the house was already clean so we were able to check in early. The house is within walking distance to downtown which is a plus. Even though we did not bring pets the fenced in back yard was big enough for dogs to enjoy the outside. I give this place 5 stars.

Excellent For Historic Downtown Visit

Betts is very responsive and easy to work with. The house is a very nice place to stay and welcomes pets as well (the fenced backyard is wonderful). The house has everything you need and is in great condition and a short walk to the historic district, a short drive to the beach; best of both worlds.

Thank you John for your wonderful review of the Rice Cottage and of me! It is in a great location combining historic town between the rivers and close to the beach. My son, Wellons works hard to keep the house in good condition. The live oaks of Georgetown provide a nice canopy for the streets and yards. Thank you again. Please come again!

About the host

Your host

Host profile image

I am retired and was born in Georgetwon. SC, growing up just around the corner on Meeting Street and then Hopsewee Plantation, where I lived until I moved to Charleston to attend the College of Charleston. I studied Art and Architectural History. After working for the City of Charleston, I moved to Murfreesboro, TN (Near Nashville). There I raised two sons and was the Director of Building and Codes for the City of Murfreesboro. My claim to some fame is having been married to Roy C Nixon who was former Sheriff and then Mayor of Memphis/Shelby County who knew Elvis Presley very well. My two sons, Wellons and Collins Harrelson help manage the Rice Cottage.
