Georgetown is a beautiful town on the North Carolina coast, packed with history, natural beauty, friendly locals and Southern charm. Located between Charleston and Myrtle Beach, Georgetown is the third oldest town in the state.
One of the biggest appeals of Georgetown is its charming waterfront location and pretty historic downtown with tree-lined streets and individual stores.
Head to the Georgetown County Museum and learn about the history that has shaped the town from the original Native Americans residents to the Steel Mill and more. Pop into the Rice Museum and get a glimpse of the town's darker past when large slave-holding rice plantations were found here. Those who love antebellum houses will want to explore the Kaminski House and museum -- a wonderful example of the architecture and Georgian style of the period.
Elsewhere, pick from one of the popular boat or tram tours and go shelling or visit the lighthouse. You can also take a ghost tour and enjoy all the stories and legends from the last 300 years.
Georgetown has idyllic places to stay, eat, drink and enjoy the delights of this lovely coastal town, with waterfront locations to sit back and admire the passing boats.

— I love All the Rooms because instead of having to check one place for home rentals, another for hotel, another for bed and breakfasts, and yet another for a room rental in a private residence, I can finally see EVERYTHING at one site; saving me considerable time
— When I first opened up the AllTheRooms.com site, I was impressed right away... When I’m traveling, I don’t like to waste time searching multiple engines for accommodations, it gets overwhelming and frustrating fast. I want a unique, comfortable stay for the best deal
— I love AllTheRooms because it is not only local homes for renting, and not only hotels, but everything combined. When I am about to book a place to stay, I usually spend a couple of hours looking through both hotel sites and local home sites, comparing the prices and places.
