Wonderful home!

We were in town for the weekend. The neighborhood is great for walking (people or dogs) and is so close to everything we wanted to do in Columbia. The house is clean and comfortable, and the backyard living space is a nice bonus!

Cozy and spacious

What a gem. Convenient location. We had two business travelers, and it was ideal to have one in a front bedroom and one in the back. We had a common area to hang out, but privacy when needed. Thanks for having us!

Spacious and cozy

Property is roomy with separation between master area and front two bedrooms. 2 bathrooms is a plus with a group. Beds were super comfy and considering how hot and humid it was (95+) the house stayed cool and comfortable. Stores and restaurants within walking distance if you choose. Host Dave was very responsive and made sure we had every we needed.

Cute bungalow close to USC

We stayed here for our first USC parents weekend and loved the home! There were 6 adults and we had plenty of room to watch football games during the day before heading to the USC game. The house has several nice features and the owners have thought of many things to make our stay comfortable. Check-in and out were super easy and David was very quick to reply to any questions I had before and during our trip. We will definitely stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by David

Host profile image
Hi all! My name is David and my wife, Carissa, and I have been living in Columbia for the past 9 years. I am originally from Scranton, PA (yes, where "The Office" is set) and I moved here to do a master's degree after finishing Undergrad. I am now working in education. Carissa is from the upstate of SC and works in communications. We purchased this property about 7 years ago and have been renovating it since. We rented out the carriage house as a short-term rental for about 3 years now and just recently moved across town and are now renting out the main house as well! We loved living in the Shandon neighborhood and can not wait to share the property we love so much with our guests! We both love to travel and we both work a lot! We both have part-time jobs; Carissa plays in a cover band and I work part-time in EMS. We love Columbia and spend a lot of time out on Main street. You can often find us at the Soda city market on Saturday mornings or at Bourbon for an evening cocktail. If you need anything or have any questions, please let us know! We are just a few miles away and can be available whenever you need!
