As mentioned by another reviewer every flat surface had something on it. The plumbing was a bit dated and the room had a slight mustiness. Probably due to the fact that the house seems to ajoin a wetlands area. The breakfast was not much better than hotel breakfast. I did choose this rather than a hotel due to it being... More

The innkeepers were both sweet and accommodating folks. We enjoyed our single night stay and wish we could have stayed longer. The bed was one of the more comfortable ones we have slept in in our travels. View over the old rice plantation fields was amazing, with a variety of birds that inhabited the immediate area. Georgetown is up and... More

Staying alone, I chose the Shaw House over a hotel/motel for safety and was ever so pleased. While I am a young grandmother myself, I felt as if I was coming home each evening to my grand parents. The Shaws were such a welcome sight every evening and morning. The house was absolutely lovely; the view across the marsh wonderful... More

We were very disappointed with this bed and breakfast. The house is in much need of updating and at the very least, a good paint job. It was just too cluttered--there was no room to set down any of our personal items--every surface was covered with stuff. The breakfast served in the morning was practically inedible--old fruit, a stale croissant... More

When you pull up to this stately Manor you are immediately WOWED! The Location says it all! 40 mins to Myrtle Beach and about an hour to Charleston. The Huge Front porch sets the tone for what we in the South call RELAXIN'. I must say I was impressed with manor at which every detail is covered. From the his... More

Mary and Joe have been opening their home to travelers for a long time, and it shows. Their inn is located in a quiet area of Georgetown but is minutes from beaches, restaurants, and historic sites. They have gracious public areas where you can relax. They have a new screened-in porch that is nicely appointed with comfortable furniture and a... More

The Shaw house was a wonderful relaxing getaway. The hosts were very hospitable and helpful to make sure we had everything we needed and were knowledgeable in recommending restaurants, shops etc when we asked. It was clean and well furnished and the breakfast was delicious. The price was very reasonable. More

The hostess couldn't have been sweeter; the town of Georgetown couldn't have been more charming; and the restaurant that we ate (The Humble Crumb) couldn't have been more delicious. This place is a nice big house in a quiet neighborhood right on the marsh. The scenery is lovely. We stayed in the king size room on the second floor. The... More

When staying here you are basically joining the Shaw family for the evening as you are made to feel so welcome and also due to the fact that, whilst the 3 rooms are all well-sized, there are no fully separated guest areas. Whilst this may put some people off I would encourage you to stay as Mary and Joe are... More

I was very impressed with the Shaw House. Our downstairs room was huge, beautifully decorated and very clean. The bed was wonderfully comfortable. Our hosts, Joe and Mary, were eager to answer our questions, give directions and advise on restaurants. The house itself is located at the edge of town with an impressive view of the marsh but still very... More
