State Street Studio - Walk to local breweries/rest
The apartment was very well located and had easy parking. Although it was close to many restaurants and a brewery, it did not feel noisy or unsafe. The bathroom is small but functional. Would definitely recommend!

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
Bobs place was amazing!! To start the area was super quiet and relaxing. Loved the nature sounds off the balcony. The inside was extremely clean, beds were comfy, kitchen was spacious and clean. The pool was even clean and neighbors are friendly! If there was anything I could think of that would be a down fall for us it would be there were no tvs in the rooms, only the living room. Which for the adults, it was fine. But the kids had to share 1 tv and they were upset lol. Highly recommend.

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!

Large 1 bedroom apt/boat ramp &dock on Lake Murray
Excellent stay and hosts were very accommodating to our needs. We were in town for USC graduation and it was such a great place to escape for a few hours of rest in between events. Beautiful surroundings, my husband and kids used the kayaks and really enjoyed the time in the lake.

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.

Lakefront Luxury Apartment ~ Lake Murray by Marina
We put on a lot of miles every day taking in the area while staying at your lake home. When we returned everyday OMGosh! So relaxing and comfortable. We didn't want to leave. We will miss our 3 new buddies too. And well decorated. Perfect y'all. Jeff & Nancy

Waterfront Harbison Condo

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.

LakeMurray-Pool-HotTub-GameRm-Beach-FirepitPlaySet
Can’t say enough good things about the place. My kids had a blast (almost 6 and 8). When i say they loved it, the LOVED it. The TV “room” upstairs is to die for. Must be a 100 inch tv on the wall. The pool is amazing, hot tub, pool table for the adults, awesome dock (neighbors that can deliver a boat for rent right next door - also super friendly) and great little arcade game set up (my son became quite infatuated with the golf game). Bonus to get to bring my pup who also enjoyed. Truly can’t say enough good things about this place. Plenty of beds (especially if your spouse leaves his CPAP at home). Could easily fit 2 families of 4/5 very comfortably. 10/10. Kids were ready to move.

1930's Cape Cod Style Home On Pond
Ellen and Arnold’s home was absolutely perfect for our family. The home was so charming and we felt immediately at home! From the welcome treats to the delightful sunroom, everything was wonderful. I highly recommend for a beautiful, cozy, and charming stay!

Charming two bed one bath
We had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb. It looked like the photos. Lori was very responsive and helpful. Prime location near shops and resturants. GORGEOUS water view. We will be back!
