About this property

Elmwood's Modern Blue Bungalow

Relax in this beautifully renovated 1932 home in one of Columbia’s most desirable historic neighborhoods, Elmwood Park. Just blocks away from downtown, this gorgeous 2-bed, 2-bath home offers the perfect blend of charm, comfort, and convenience!

Sitting in the Cottontown/NOMA district, you’ll be close to Bull Street, Main Street, the SC Statehouse, the Vista, and USC.

This 1,242 sq. ft. house was built in 1932 and thoughtfully renovated in 2019 to preserve its original charm while adding modern comforts. It boasts two bedrooms (each with a queen bed) and two full bathrooms, an updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances and a Keurig coffee bar, a living room, a laundry room, a fenced in backyard, and an air mattress.

Guests are welcome to park in the driveway (please stay to the left side as it is shared with the neighbor), or on the street in front of the house.

Guests will receive door code from hosts prior to their stay.

Guests are welcome to use the back patio and backyard space as they like.

A single exterior camera is on the front porch facing the street.

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. Host was super accessible and made us feel like we could reach out if we needed anything, we didn’t have to though, everything was perfect!

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!

Spacious Home in a Lovely Neighborhood

We loved our stay here! The house felt very spacious for our family of 6. It had the perfect combination of old charm and modern updates. We loved walking around the neighborhood and seeing so many Victorian homes. We would definitely stay here again!
