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

Saluda 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.

Waterside Harbison Stylish Condo
Host was very responsive and helpful. The place was very clean and pleasant.

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 :)

Livin' the Lake Life! Home w/dock/gazebo-Sleeps 8
The lake house was great. Everything was very clearly labeled, organized, and well thought out. Sara thought of everything. It was very comfortable, and check out was especially easy. It was so nice to not have to strip the beds, wash the towels, take the trash to the curb, etc that so many other airbnbs make you do.

5 Bedroom Chalet right on Lake Murray
.We hosted our family of 10 Thanksgiving at this beautiful home. Kids loved the kayaks and the dock. We took a pontoon boat ride with Captain Kenny- highly recommend.

This is a wonderful house and a great location! Varun (host) was friendly and very responsive! The house had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. We would rent this house again. Thank you, Varun!

Located on big water with private dock
We stayed for the weekend of our daughter’s wedding at Heron Hill Venue. The location was great and the scenery beautiful. The lake house is well equipped, comfortable, and decorated but not cluttered. The deck overlooking the lake was the perfect place to sit in the morning and relax with my hot cup of tea before wedding preparations got crazy. Only wish we’d had more time to enjoy it. Kim was very helpful and responsive. I would come back again even without a wedding to attend. High marks for this lake house retreat!

Sunrise and Sunset on the Lake
Absolutely amazing stay at Todd’s property. We enjoyed breathtaking views of sunrise over Lake Murray from the front porch and stunning sunsets over Lake Murray from the backyard. The home was clean and the kitchen was well stocked. Hope to return!

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!
