Sailors say the distinctive red roof is visible three miles out across the bay, and that the once plentiful sailing ships aligned their wheels to that brick-colored beacon when seeking entry to the harbor. Hence, the Harbor House has a long and storied reputation for welcoming travelers from across the globe. The imposing three story Georgian house, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, has graced the banks of the Sampit River for over two and a quarter centuries. The Inn is accompanied by another monument of South Carolina history – The Red Store. This c. 1740 shipping warehouse formerly stored silks, indigo and imported wines, and once fronted the largest dock in the harbor. From a shaded rocker on the inn's long porches, views of the time-worn brick and tabby warehouse, weathered docks hosting shrimp boats and sailing ships, and the blue waters of Winyah Bay and the Atlantic beyond have remained unchanged for centuries, softening the boundaries between yesterday and today.

Images of the past continue inside the immaculately restored house as light floods the generously sized rooms of original heart pine floors, deep colonial mouldings, family antiques, eight fireplaces, and oriental carpets.

Harbor House is located on Georgetown's historic working waterfront, only steps from colorful shops, antique/art galleries, both casual and fine dining, walking tours of the National Register Historic District, the Harborwalk, and boat excursions. Available nearby are beaches, fishing, canoe trails, ricefields and plantations, Brookgreen Gardens, the intracoastal waterway, tennis and golf. 20 Great Reason to visit the Harbor House! Or you may choose to simply relax at the inn. In addition to our popular rockers, we're delighted to share our joggling board, piano, bicycles, games and books, or simply a quit spot for shedding cares.
