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!

Great place to come home to!

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.

Fabulous place to stay.....

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. Thank you for a great stay.

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.
