This is not a full house but attic apartment
Beautiful attic apartment and yard . However, the landlords live down below so they ask that you not wear shoes to keep noise level down. They do entertain family and friends at their home which makes renter’s use of the yard and dock awkward. Their own party lasted quite late and we had a early morning wake up to make a flight, so not quite the experience we were looking for.

Beautiful Lake Murray Property
We had an amazing 4 days at this wonderful property. It was the perfect place to explore the area and unwind on the lake. Easy access to the Soda City Market, The State House, Riverwalk, Antique Mall, Congaree National Park. The sunset cruise they provide was fantastic. Kerri and Randy were excellent hosts. We made some new friends. This was a 5 star experience.

Awesome House!
This house is great! Had my dog and college age son. Plenty of room for larger groups. The hosts are super nice and we barely saw them. Lots of time and energy put into this backyard oasis. House was extremely clean! Will definitely rent again next year if back in town for baseball. Very accessible to Lexington County Baseball Complex.

Game weekend with friends
This property is fairly priced, clean, and roomy. Communication with the owner was good. This is a 3BR/1BA apartment above the owners house. Everything met our expectations. The owner complained about noise on a Friday night, I would recommend something in the description about “quiet hours” so potential guests know the rules. There is a pool table and a foosball table, lots of fun for a guys trip. It’s about 25 minutes to USC campus and sporting events, fyi.

Unexpected paradise
I never would have thought we’d even consider staying somewhere where the owner lives on the property let alone on the first floor. There was something about this listing that made us go for it and I’m so glad we did! They property is beautiful! A woman after my own heart with her flowers during the day and garden lights during the night. We could not believe there were no bugs, bought a thermacell and never used it. The kayaks were so much fun. Karri and Randy were so nice and we felt like we were staying with family, family that gave us space . We never felt invaded upon. And we got extra perks that wouldn’t have happened had they not been there. Wonderful shore area for the kids to play in the water safely. We did the purple Martin bout tour and I highly recommend it. Being out on a boat was a new experience for my children and they definitely gained some new core memories . This is already in the talks of being next years vacation spot . 10/10

Great family lake getaway
We stayed for 2 nights on our family road trip. Owner was very responsive with all of our inquiries. (They were out of town during our stay.) My kids loved the pool table and foosball table. Apartment had everything we needed and was clean and cozy. Yard and garden were so nice and allowed space for our pup to play. It was great to be right on the water and access to the kayaks and dock. We added on a private boat tour by the owners which left from their own dock. We were taken to see the bird migration and were able to enjoy a swim; the kids loved it! We spent a day in Columbia but wish we had another day at the lake. If we had to pick 1 drawback, it would be location for travelling with our pup. We walk a lot with her normally, and the area wasn't really conducive for nice long walks from the property. Overall, we had a great stay!!

It was a beautiful property. Kerri and Randy are very nice. They have a lot of outdoor seating it’s a little worn, but we spent most our time on the “porch” swing and single swing suspended between two beautiful trees. It was HOT HOT the week we were there and we followed the instructions on keeping the curtains pulled and had no trouble keeping cool. We did not float in the dock area but drove 1/2 mile down the road to the state park beach. We took advantage of the Purple Martin boat ride at sunset. Kerri and Randy joined us in the water to watch them and answered lots of questions. We enjoyed our little get away.

Extra fees
Had a small cook out in yard. About 6 adults in their sixties and three children other than us. Only my husband, myself, and daughter actually stayed here, but was charged an extra fee for the few guests. I made sure that everything was clean and the way I found it. They also charged a fee to clean the hot tub after being used. I would think it should be cleaned in between uses anyway. Couldn't figure out how to use gas grill so I used the charcoal one. I used a bag of charcoal they had there and they charged me triple the price of the bag.
