Stunning property and perfect stay!

This property was absolutely perfect for my son’s graduation from the University of South Carolina. My extended family stayed here and it’s only a 25 minute to 30 minute drive to campus. The house is beautiful, the backyard pool area is stunning, and renting the boat was a nice added benefit. Sunsets are gorgeous, wildlife is beautiful and the house is very comfortable. Communication between the host was outstanding and our overall stay was wonderful. Thank you and we’d love to come back.

Paradise on Lake Murray

We had an amazing time at this beautiful property! The house is a great size with a living room upstairs for adults and a kids hangout room downstairs. And the outdoor living space is unbelievable! Gorgeous pool, gazebo, incredible dock and very nice (and plenty of) outdoor furniture. The property manager, Ashley, was so helpful and very responsive from the time I booked the property and throughout the week we rented. She immediately jumped on anything we needed which was really great. We'll definitely be renting this gorgeous property again!!

Fantastic family vacay

Having our whole family together for a week each year is so so important to us…and this house fit our crew perfectly! The layout was ideal for each little family. The pool was spectacular…great for all ages of kiddos because of the sun shelf and ledges. The drop-in kayaking was such a treat each day. We rented the boat one day and the slightly older kids had a blast tubing! The bonus was the nest of great Blue Heron…loved getting to seem them hunt and fly above often. For us, the cook top was super slow to heat up…especially large pots of water to boil..but that was really the only small issue. Super memories made in a super special setting. Thank you!

Fantastic 4th of July Getaway

We had an amazing stay on Lake Murray at 18 Sandals. Jeff couldn't have been more accommodating and helpful with all aspects of the stay. We had a few minor issues at first trying to understand switches, remotes, pool equipment, etc. but he was extremely fast to respond and walk us through everything. The pontoon boat rental was the best and easiest rental that I've ever had at a lake house. They showed up exactly when Jeff said they would with a very new pontoon boat that was so convenient for the stay. We had a total of 9 staying there and everyone had plenty of space to enjoy whatever they wanted and the huge kitchen along with the large laundry room and extra fridge came in super handy. The views out the back were amazing each morning and night during sunset and 2 of the marinas that were very close by gave it an easy option to run over for dinner or a quick fuel up for a sunset cruise on the boat. Overall a 5* stay and I would highly recommend to any large family who is looking for a fun, casual, lake getaway for the week!

Hands down the best place we've stayed. We had a group of us down for The Masters and this served as a great home base. Location was great: 10 minutes to grocery stores and bar/food options. 25 minutes to downtown Columbia. 25 minutes to Timberlake Country Club. 75 minutes to Augusta and 90 minutes to Charlotte. Plenty of room to spread out and lots of small details that made the stay very enjoyable.Had an issue with the hot tub and owner fixed it as soon as they could. Landscaping is so beautiful.If you need a large place with plenty of room, this is THE place.
Beautiful sunsets every night. That's a million dollar view.

Perfect Fall Break Getaway

This property was gorgeous inside and out! It had everything we needed for a fun and relaxing fall break! There was so much room for everyone to spread out. We enjoyed using the pontoon boat for fishing and a ride to a local restaurant one day. Our entire crew was fishing nonstop on the dock and from the kayaks onsite. The house was well stocked with anything you could possibly need. The pool and hot tub area felt like resort vibes. The host was very responsive and even provided us great recommendations for local restaurants. We highly recommend this property!
