Georgetown holiday house: DeBordieu Colony, near Pawleys Island

The Low Country of South Carolina is steeped in history. Coupled with more than 100 miles of glorious beaches and creeks for swimming, sunning, boating, shelling, fishing and crabbing, as well as golfing on many of the 100 golf courses located in the region areas, it is a delightful vacation region. A product of some of the earliest European settlements in America - Spanish and French explorers arrived in the area in the 16th century - in 1670 a permanent English settlement was established on the coast near present day Charleston. Today, Charleston is one of the most gracious cities in America - Visitors can wander cobblestone streets lined with antique shops and boutiques, browse the Old City Market where Gullah basket ladies are among the vendors that peddle their wares, and peek at private gardens tucked serenely behind iron gates.

By the time of the American Revolution, South Carolina was one of the richest colonies in America. Elegant plantations and gardens derived from the eras of rice, indigo and cotton can be visited. More Revolutionary War battles and skirmishes were fought in South Carolina than any other state, including major engagements at Sullivan's Island, Camden, Kings Mountain, and Cowpens. The Civil War began when Confederate troops fired on Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor on April 12, 1861. Debordieu is just 10 miles north of Georgetown, with its historic district, and a similar distance south of Pawleys Island, the site of the summer vacation homes of many of the plantation owners in past centuries. With many excellent restaurants and interesting shops, these two towns are very convenient to Debordieu.
