About Georgetown

Situated on the edge of Winyah Bay, Georgetown hosts a population of 9,000 residents at the confluence of the Great Pee Dee River, Waccamaw River, and Sampit River. Handling over 960,000 tons of goods annually, Georgetown is actually South Carolina’s second-largest seaport. Interestingly, some historians claim that American history began in 1526 with the earliest settlement by Europeans who found protection in the bay with their African slaves. Many people believe the Spaniards who found the colony never returned to Spain and hence the historical establishment was never recorded. Georgetown County Airport caters to private and general aviation. Sixty miles northeast of Charleston, residents that do not work in Georgetown can commute into the city in under 90 minutes.

The Georgetown Times is the area’s daily newspaper, an unusual amenity for a town of such size. Residents of a Georgetown house or apartment for rent can enjoy the spectacular Wedgewood Plantation Golf Course that offers breathtaking views of the water and scenery that surrounds Georgetown. The Francis Marion National Forest, a few miles south, is also a popular attraction. With a variety of coves and inlets, it is relatively easy for residents of an apartment or home rental in Georgetown to find a secluded area to relax and sun in the summer months and simply escape during the winter. Community events like Harvest Home Weekend Festival and Cool Summer Evenings are usually well attended.
