Charming Bungalow, convenience of downtown, yet a tranquil quiet neighborhood
My home is a three minute drive to art, culture, great restaurants and family-friendly activities. Just across the Gervais street bridge, less than two blocks to the river front park, sits our Bungalow. In a safe, quiet, convenient, neighborhood called New Brookland.
Our 100 year old charmer will take you back in time with the original hardwood floors, hand laid beadboard ceilings, and the hand crafted moldings. But with all new modern luxuries. The house has been completely updated with a new eat in open airy kitchen. With marble counters, a farm house sink, natural gas stove, wine and beverage fridge. The bath has a tile floor and a tub- shower combo. There are three of the five original fireplaces. But the best is the outdoor pool, with its tranquil fountains. There is a covered pergola, equiped with: frefrigerator, sink, television(summer), ceiling fans, and natural gas fireplace and natural gas grill. One flip of the switch and there you are relaxing on the outdoor sofa, while enjoying the cozy fire.
Inside you will find two bedrooms, both furnished with nice luxury linens, and original fireplaces. One bedroom has a king bed, and the other has a queen. The sunroom has a twin daybed for additional guest.
There is convenient on sight parking, privacy fenced back yard, and a covered front porch with rocking chairs. The neighborhood is a great place to take a stroll along the large oaks, just minutes to restaurants and local shops. From art, luxury consignments, day spas, and grocery.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

The experience was wonderful, and the house is FAB and clean! My sister and I were in love with it from the time we opened the door. The location is awesome convenient to downtown and restaurants. Our host was more that accommodating and responded with any of our questions. We both work too much, and this was a welcome break. Thank you!
We were traveling for my niece graduation from Fort Jackson, Beautiful home in a great quiet location, very comfortable, we enjoy our stay, and will definitely rent again.The owner is very nice and helpful with any question you have
We loved staying here! The home had everything we needed, and we felt comfortable right away. The host was very responsive and welcoming. We’re planning a return visit for our daughter’s violin camp next summer!

Great guest. Left my home in excellent shape. Easy to communicate with and followed house rules.
This property was perfect for or visit to Columbia. The home was lovely and had all the required necessities. Tonya was extremely responsive and accommodating. Would love to stay again if and when the opportunity presents itself in the future. Thank you!
Wonderful home with beautiful furnishings in a great location. Super comfortable bed and little details that made our stay easier than ever. Easy access to great restaurants and retail. 20 min from Ft Jackson. Great experience with both check in and out.
The house met or exceeded our needs from start to finish. The decor was excellent, beds very comfortable, and outdoor area was great for relaxing at the end of the day. Would definitely book again!
The house was close to campus, around great restaurants, decorated well and very accommodating. The host was wonderful to work with before the stay and during.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cozy cottage. It is well stocked, conveniently located and incredibly comfortable! Will be booking again when we’re back!
The house was wonderful. I throughly enjoyed my stay. Everything was great, the bed was comfy, the pool was fantastic, and the host was very kind throughout the entire process. I would absolutely recommend this listing and I recommend this host.

Was the perfect guest. Respected my home and treated it as her own while staying. I would recommend her to any host and hope she will choose my home again.
The house was even more impressive in person than they were in the pictures. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely stay here again when in the area. The only negative part of the stay was the on/off rainy weather most of the week that prevented us from getting to fully enjoy the use of the outdoor living space.
It was such a great place to stay for our family. We came to the area for our son’s graduation from boot camp in Fort Jackson. It was only 20 minutes away and after graduation he got to come back to the house to hang out in the pool, grill out and spend time with everyone. The host was amazing and made our stay very comfortable and easy with checkout. I would highly recommend!!

About the host
Hosted by Tonya
Hi, I'm Tonya. Born and raised in SC. i travel for work and i understand having a comfortable place while traveling. opening my home to travelers bring me joy. the hard work that has gone into restoring it and knowing that i have created a warm cozy but yet modern place that you can call your home away from home is so rewarding.
Why they chose this property
This is the up an coming neighborhood in Columbia. The growth, the convenience of walking to restaurants, the river, the baseball stadium, football stadium less than 2 miles, the capital is just over a mile. live music and fun dining spots just a few blocks away. you are right in the middle but yet have lots of privacy.
What makes this property unique
I like to say "close enough to everything, but far enough away". The back yard with its pergola will give you extra outdoor living space. The outdoor fireplace, and grill are right at your fingertips. Sit and enjoy the birds while reading. Sit by the fire while sipping coffee or a glass of wine. Dine by the pool or lounge on the two outdoor sofas. You have door to door parking and the full use of this private home. this is not just a rental it is my personal home when not traveling so i have made sure you will have everything needed to cook a nice dinner, the quality furnishing nice bed linens. you are not just a guest you are family while here.
