Downtown Corporate Riverfront
Very good location and the inside was very well put together and made us feel at home. Host always communicated very well and answered all questions we had

Say hello to Gem
Great hosts! Timely communication. Allowed for an early check-in. Checked in to make sure all was well. *Note: The unit is on the second floor. Somehow, I missed that, but we booked in a hurry, so I likely overlooked that detail.

Vintage Harbison Loft: Pond View
It was such a pleasant stay. The place is quiet and peaceful. There’s a little lake around the neighborhood that is nice to walk around and enjoy the nature. The host is super nice and is very responsive on any possible problems. Everything was clean and tidy. All necessary supplies and amenities are provided with extras. Definitely recommend for anyone that want to travel for short term or for long term stay. It is absolutely worth it. Would come again myself if I ever want to enjoy all the awesomeness!

Luxe Lakefront Apartment w/ Shared Pool & Dock!
Jeff and Elizabeth are great hosts! They made us feel incredibly welcome from the moment we walked through the door. They made fresh bread and had it waiting for us, along with an invite to a community event. Elizabeth and Jeff are lovely people and made us feel right at home. My teenage son told me to definitely book with them again next time I’m in town.

Large 1 bedroom apt/boat ramp &dock on Lake Murray
It was very comfortable and homey. Quick drive to Columbia, very peaceful to come back to and relax after exploring. Beautiful view of Lake Murray with plenty to do and stores very close by. The hosts were very accommodating. They had refreshments, snacks, and basic necessities needed. Would highly recommend and would stay at again. ….thank you very much!!!!!!!

Luxury Condo in NE Cola Ft. Jackson w/ pool views
OMG The place was adorbs; accurately described and even more. Nicole was amazing. There was a welcome message upon registration; quick responses to my inquiries and timely information for check in and check out. The building was secure, nice decor -- the foyer 'smelled' good LOL. The grounds were clean (some dog poop) but that's a people 'neglect' problem as the facility had doggie bags/trash can stations. The unit was beautiful. It was clean, cute, cozy with all of the amenities. Nicole had posted a personal welcome sign on the wall, as my cousin and I were in town for a wedding. The family who visited fell in love with it -- they live in close proximity but wasn't aware that the complex was there. I'm glad we added a couple of extra days to our stay. We were able to relax and enjoy the space before heading back home. Definitely will be my first consideration when I choose to revisit the area.

Lakefront Luxury Apartment ~ Lake Murray by Marina
We booked a last minute stay because we were in town for a funeral..Mark & Ruth were very accommodating. As for cleanliness probably one of the cleanest places I’ve stayed..the beds super comfy & just the best hosts! I hope we can come back again some time for a more relaxing reason :)

Private ramp and dock, 5 mins from Liberty marina
Thanks for hosting us. The place was spacious and relaxing. We felt right at home and had everything we needed. Would recommend this place.

Off The Mainland with Optional Pontoon Rental
Took my wife,daughter, dogs and in laws to visit family over Thanksgiving break, what a great stay! Loved the location on the water, amazing view, comfortable home, great game room upstairs and easy parking. I can't say enough good things about our stay. Kitchen was fully stocked with enough to cook a whole Thanksgiving dinner. We made some great family memories here, thank you! I could write a short book about all the great things this property has but I'll finish here, well worth the money and the hosts were great too. Stay here for a great time!

The Lakeside Haven
Me and my family had stayed here before right after the hurricane in October of 2024. Not much has changed since then, which is amazing! Dan and Linda are the sweetest hosts and an amazing couple! We definitely can't wait to stay again and enjoy the water once more.

Lake Murray: Panoramic Views, Kayaks & Hot Tub
We had such a lovely little getaway at Jessica’s place. It’s in a perfect spot for families with kids—my children had the best time playing in the playhouse, and the hot tub was such a relaxing treat. The kayaks were a great bonus! Our family of five, with two school-aged children and a toddler, fit comfortably between the two kayaks, so we were all able to go out on the water together. Jessica was incredibly kind and responsive, answering all my questions before we booked and going out of her way to make sure we felt welcome and at home. The gift basket was such a thoughtful touch. My daughter quickly claimed the tumbler and now brings it to school every day—she says she never wants to forget “sunshine and nap time.” It’s those little details that made our stay feel extra special.

Family Ties Lakeside Retreat
The property is beautiful and was perfect right by the water. The house is very well equipped and provided minor conveniences that made our experience even more comfortable. The view from the back deck is amazing. The neighbors could have been nicer but overall this was a great experience.

Casa Azul - Lake Murray - Close in - Spa like bath
We enjoyed our week at the lake and found the home well-stocked. We ate most of our meals at home and had everything we needed. The kitchen was nicely appointed, and the appliances were high quality. There is a Publix grocery store 10 minutes away and several local restaurants to enjoy. We used the charcoal grill for several meals and sat outside as much as possible. The whole family enjoyed the kayaks, paddle boards, canoes, and swimming in the lake. A ladder on the dock would make it easier to get out of the lake, but we made due.

Serenity Cove - 1 Acre, Fenced Yard, Private Ramp
Our family with our two dogs had a very relaxing week at the house. We enjoyed being on the water with the dock. It was very peaceful and relaxing. Fenced in large back yard was great for the dogs. House was also great. Very spacious and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Neighbors were very friendly and helpful. We would highly recommend staying at the house!

Lake Murray Escape with private boat launch & dock
Everything was amazing when I had a problem they were quick to respond. Even accommodated us an extra day, would love to return when I have more time to enjoy it! Thank you!!
