Property was awesome. The cleanest and best condition of any rental we have stayed at over the years. Everything inside was in great condition. My wife really appreciated the cleanliness of the unit. We intend to rent again when we visit Columbia SC

Clean Home in Great Location
We needed a nice home to stay in for our daughter’s weekend graduation from the University of South Carolina and this home was perfect! Close enough to be a 20 minute drive from campus but far enough to avoid all the congested traffic and overcrowded restaurants in Columbia. This home was sparkling clean and had plenty of room to accommodate 6 adults. It’s in a newer area of development with nearby brand new restaurants and grocery stores. Great communication from host and I highly recommend.

Basic training
This place was beautiful. The house had everything we needed for a week stay. We enjoyed the home, we also liked how close to the base the home was. There was PLENTY of room for everyone to stay comfortably. The hosts provided everything we needed to cook for our family and have meals at the home and her communication was very well. Thank you very much for everything.
