The stay was good....we were greeted by a raccoon the first night and every night after. The house in general was nice and cozy honestly not like the pictures had shown. The Master Bedroom needed bulbs in the ceiling fan and their were black tiny bugs on the ceiling. The remotes were broken for the TV's causing me to place them over in a plastic bag to keep it from falling apart. The bed was not comfortable and could use a covering to make it more comfortable pillowtops are good..(glad I brought my own). The bathroom was spacious although the toilet you had to hold it down until it flushed, that really became bothersome. The air freshener was a plus it masked the old house scent but after awhile you could smell that old house scent linger. The other 2 bedroom were okay the one beside the Master didn't have a lamp in there so it made it inconvenient to have to get up and down if lights were needed having to turn it on and off. The 3rd bedroom was okay my son was fine as long as he had a T.V to play his game on.The 2nd Bathroom was good it was spacious so that was also a plus....The linen closet was stocked full of towels they were a bit dingy so we had to pick and choose from them(so some of them need to be discarded and changed out). The Kitchen was okay the faucet at the sink was needing some repairs it was a loose, the can openers were broken and rusty. The washer and dryers were dirty so I could not use them. Overall the stay was decent just need some minor changes.

We loved this place. Excellent size, the screen porch with the pool table was amazing. We tried to book again because we enjoyed it so much we were going to add an unplanned return trip but it was already booked. We will definitely return!

Perfect for a family!!!

Clean property and lots of kitchen utensils and extra pillows and towels and wash cloths. In other properties I have stayed at there are always Limited towels and I worry about having enough, but there were just tons! I really appreciated that! Bonus is having a washer and dryer! It was wonderful having a total of three bedrooms and two bathrooms for such a reasonable price. That plus having three full size couches meant that our family of five was not piled up on top of each other when we were there LOL. I would definitely recommend this property. Short drive to the zoo and State Museum. No negatives here! Communicative property owner.

Very Pleasant Stay

Although our stay was short it was pleasant, the host and house were accommodating. The house looks exactly like the pics, very spacious. The neighborhood is quiet and close to several restaurants/ downtown. The host responds to any questions/needs in a timely manner. I would stay again & definitely recommend. Ty again

Still a nice place!!!

This was my second stay at the riverfront and its still a nice out of the way place. Clean and simple, the pool table on the back patio is great for friends to pass some time. I just hope the update the TVs to smart TVs so I could use my firestick or log into my NETFLIX, but that was not a big issue for me.

Short stay for BCT Graduation

We were in town for a short stay to attend our son's basic training graduation. The house was a perfect fit for us. It was a short and easy drive over to Fort Jackson. The house was clean and had everything that was advertised. I would definitely recommend a stay here. I wouApproximately Drive time

Nice place to stay. A lot of what you need was available. Nice for a large group (6-10) esp. adults. Lots of tvs, but Direct tv blah! Close to our destination. Host very responsive. Slow drain front bath...lawn needed to be cut. But Nice would stay there again!

Not the best. Not the worst.

The online description of the property was off. It says the house is on a canal. It’s not. It’s within walking distance of a canal. It makes it sound like it’s a lot closer to downtown than it is, although it is an easy drive. The microwave was FILTHY and the mugs in the cabinet had dried crust inside them and they all had to be washed. The front porch was dirty and dusty and and not welcoming to sit on.

Graduation

The property is perfectly located for all different activities. We had graduation at Fort Jackson and a lot of celebrating at restaurants. Whichever direction we went, it was less than 20 mins. House was clean and all necessities were there. The canal river walk is right there and that was a nice bonus. Would definitely recommend this house to anyone visiting the area.
