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!"

We couldn't have asked for a better place to take in all that Georgetown has to offer. We loved returning to our cottage in the afternoons or evenings after exploring Georgetown and the surrounding areas. The courtyard was such an added bonus and Graham and Julie were delightful to interact with when we saw them! You will be pleased!!

This was our first visit to Georgetown and it was wonderful. The pace was slow and relaxing, Julie and Grahan were extremely helpful, they went out of their way to make our stay special.

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.
