Beautiful, spacious, well appointed home in one in the heart of Columbia. My family was very comfortable. The hosts thought of every amenity one could need.
Vanessa was a wonderful host. The house is beautiful and located in the 5 points area. Walking distance to shops, great restaurants and coffee shops. Also close to the Vista which also has great restaurants. We had four couples and plenty of room and set up for all to be comfortable. Thanks for everything
This was the most well appointed, easy and comfortable location we've ever stayed with VRBO out of many across North America. Every room was stocked with everything you could think of. The house was utterly charming and so centrally located - so easy to walk to 5 Points and get to the University and Downtown. The host was very nice and responsive. I could've moved in and stayed! Highly recommend!
Large, clean house with great character. Close to many restaurants and downtown. Enjoyed the stay. Will come again when large space is needed.

This made me laugh! As long as you don’t pull down his driveway or block it in any way even for a few moments, the neighbor is not a bother. We did put parking signs up & it’s helped overall! Thanks for staying!
We enjoyed everything about our stay. The home was well appointed and perfectly suited for our family. Great location, and excellent communication with the host. Thanks!
This was the perfect property for my family to come down from Ohio to meet up with family from Florida for a long weekend with our daughter. The house is amazing and was the perfect place to spend time together. We will definitely plan to stay here again!
What a great property! Clean, spacious, well appointed. And a great location. We will definitely stay here again when we need a place in Columbia again.
I think the most common word used to describe the home was "WOW". It was large and comfortable, with room for all. The hosts were accommodating and the little things were all there. The bathrooms had better amenities than many top hotels, and the kitchen had everything you could need. Even a double oven for those who want to cook a holiday dinner.
Fabulous stay at Charleston! Plenty of room for our large group. Would definitely book again. Vanessa was extremely responsive and met all of our requests! They even purchased a new grill for our stay!
We had a fantastic experience at this property! Everything was exactly as advertised, which was a huge relief. The place was spotless when we arrived—clean, well-maintained, and clearly cared for. The location couldn’t have been better—close to everything we wanted to see and do, yet peaceful and quiet when we needed to relax. Communication with the host was smooth and easy. Highly recommend this rental for anyone looking for a stress-free and comfortable stay!
The property was amazing and fully equipped with all of our needs. We were only there overnight but would have loved to have stayed longer. The porch and balcony were both wonderful but we were not there long enough to enjoy them. Next time we have a girls weekend in Columbia we will definitely make sure to stay there again.
We had a group of 10 that stayed 2 nights for a football weekend. The house was perfect four group. Walking distance to campus. A well stocked kitchen. Would definitely recommend this house
We really enjoyed our week at the Charleston House! The home was so pleasant with space for everyone to spread out and have some alone time, as well as great spaces to gather. The kitchen was lovely! We appreciated that so many things were within walking distance and the property manager was really easy to work with and communicate. Would definitely stay again! Note that if you have multiple cars, there is off street parking for 3 vehicles and everything else is permit parking due to the proximity to the University.
We were really impressed with this property. It is clean, spacious, and very well maintained. Beds are very comfortable which is sometimes hit or miss with a rental. The kitchen is nice and modern too. We really loved all the thoughtful details like snacks and some drinks in the refrigerator and lots of toiletries in the bathrooms. The holiday decorations were wonderful and it really felt like being in a warm and welcoming home and not just a "rental". Loved it!
