Great Family Accomodations

This property was exactly as presented on VRBO and more. We were pleasantly surprised with the fully appointed kitchen with everything you might need to make meals at home including a crock pot. The garage was available for our use along with an assortment of water toys. The house was extremely clean and well maintained with high ceilings and lots of natural light. The owner was friendly and easy to contact. For any boat owners, the dock was wonderful and had receptacles for recharging trolling batteries after a day of fishing. We ended up keeping our boat in the water and stored our trailer at an RV park just down the creek. I highly recommend this property.

About the host

Hosted by Erica Navarro

Hi there! I reside in Charleston, SC with my husband, Daniel and two kiddos. When I'm not exploring new destinations with my family, I’m passionate about creating warm, welcoming spaces for others to enjoy. Traveling has shown me how important it is to feel at home, no matter where you are, and I’m excited to share that experience with you. I look forward to making your stay comfortable, memorable, and full of local charm!

The neighborhood’s friendly vibe makes it ideal for families, friends, or anyone seeking a relaxing getaway. Imagine waking up to peaceful lake views, enjoying coffee on the deck, and having easy access to boating, fishing, and hiking. We fell in love with this spot, and we know you will too!

Step outside, and you'll find even more reasons to fall in love. Our private outdoor areas let you soak in lake views, enjoy meals al fresco, or relax by the fire pit under the stars. It’s not just about the house itself but also the unique experience of staying here.
