This place was a fantastic spot for me and my wife with our two dogs. The location was great to meet my family in West Columbia. The neighborhood was safe to walk the dogs and the inside of the home was clean and welcoming. We will absolutely be staying here again. The added dog treats were a big plus!!!

Great house. Loved that we were in walking distance of 3 coffee houses. This came in handy as the rental had coffee but no creamers or sugars onsite, which we found odd since it had dog food and dog treats readily available. Also strange that they had dog shampoo, but no soap or shampoo for humans. Parking would have been problematic with more than 1 car which restricted us a bit and while the owners make a big deal about the street’s quiet hours, the neighbors’ dogs barked loudly late into the night and in the early morning!

Wonderful Place

This house was absolutely one of the best I've stayed at. It was so wonderfully renovated and decorated. I loved everything about it and wouldn't change a thing about the Elmwood Blue Bungalow. Phillip was fast and courteous with the couple of questions I had asked him before arriving.

This house is so cute and cozy!! It was perfect and we had plenty of space. The backyard was perfect for our dog as well. Would definitely stay here again if I am ever back in the area.

PERFECT Stay While in Town for Son's Graduation

I homeschool my son and the program I use is based in Columbia so we had to travel to town for his graduation. From the minute we booked Phillip was friendly and responsive. The house was clean, cozy and very comfortable. The check in and check out process was seamless and Phillip was more than accommodating and welcoming to us. The street was very quiet and we felt very welcomed and safe. Would DEFINITELY recommend!

Convenient location, attractive place

Clean, well equipped kitchen, excellent bathrooms, ample hot water, comfortable bed. Parking is a bit tight and the lockpad was intermittently iffy but overall an excellent place to stay. Nice quiet neighborhood.

Cozy with a great location

This cozy home is in a nice neighborhood. The home is comfortable for a multi-day stay with your pup. The kitchen has anything you'd want for easy to cook meals during vacation. It was also a great location to areas of Columbia and to get out for a hike in Congaree. The owner was also exceptionally easy to interact with. We'd happily stay again if we were visiting the area!
