We really enjoyed our stay here. The property and outdoor space is beautiful and relaxing. The house was clean with plenty of kitchen supplies/tools. We used the outdoor gas grill several times. I would absolutely stay here again.

Great Location, Great Host
We had a fantastic stay at this property! Mrs. Debra was incredibly communicative and always available to assist with anything we needed. The view was absolutely stunning, and the furniture was both stylish and comfortable. Our favorite part was the wraparound deck—it was the perfect spot to relax and enjoy breathtaking sunsets. We’re already looking forward to booking again when the weather warms up!

Perfect family vacation home
We spent our Christmas here .. the hosts did a such a sweet job of decorating for the holiday that we felt just like we were home ourselves. We gathered with my local family and the location was perfect for meeting with everyone .. smores by the campfire was a fun activity for all of us. Lots of space to spread out yet cozy to spend time together. Sitting on the deck watching the sunset was my favorite part of the day there. We definitely plan to come back in warmer weather to enjoy more of the outdoor grill options. A truly special holiday for us, thank you Debra!

Great "Getaway"
Stayed here in late June for a family trip and to experience Lake Murray. This place was perfect. The host was great and responsive. Amenities were better than advertised including outdoor kitchen, dock & swimming, and plenty of places to relax. The house was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. The location on the lake was great and very close to a Publix grocery which was very convenient. We were able to charter a captain to pick us up right at the dock for a day on the lake. We will certainly book again in the future. We can't wait to come back!

Debra has thought of everything to make our stay even more enjoyable. Comfy beds are a must and this property did not disappoint. The outdoor amenities are great, easy to grill and serve outdoors…and of course the dock is wonderful. Also, it is very close to the grocery store! We will definitely stay here again.

Lovely and Relaxing Stay
We were so delighted with our stay! The house is lovely and impeccably clean. The backyard has beautiful views day and night and has many different areas to hang out. We loved relaxing on the covered dock area with glider club chairs that are really comfortable, and the fans kept away the bugs. We enjoyed sitting on the dock with coffee and listening to the birds in the morning and then watching the gorgeous sunsets all evening. We made a fire with the wood that Debra left for us in the firepit area.
The kitchen has everything you need for cooking and grilling, which we did one evening in the outdoor kitchen area. The bedrooms were comfy and clean. Debra was easily reached for any questions we had. Recommend!

Very nice, quiet getaway with a huge bonus of the view of Lake Murray right out of the back. Tons of outdoor space gives you countless options and angles at which you can enjoy the sunset and I assume sunrise though since it was a weekend getaway I may have slept through that portion :-)

Amazing time!
Perfect spot on lake. Very clean and gorgeous property. Hospitable host, seriously amazing. Boat dock makes taking boat out w family very easy plus a very cool spot to just hangout. Outdoor grill area is set up perfectly. There is a gazebo with a table and chairs that is perfect for eating breakfast. We went out on the boat to wakeboard a good bit of the time but honestly would stay at this spot even if i didn't have a boat with me because of how nice it is. You can see the sunset over the water from the dock.
