The water pressure for the upstairs bath was very low and all 6 people had to use the downstairs bathroom for bath and shower. The water barely comes out and there was food left in the refrigerator that wasn’t ours so I’m not sure how long it was in there for. Other than that, everything else was great!

Great location if you’re attending Fort Jackson graduation. Very clean house. Little quirky things give my review only 4 stars. Small driveway to fit vehicles, no hangers in closets, no hooks to hang towels in bathrooms, beds were very stiff, only one tv in house not in bedrooms, no extra blankets provided. Homeowners were very responsive on the app.

Stayed at this house with my family. We were going to my daughter’s boot camp graduation. It was only like 10 minutes away. Close to a delicious Mexican little restaurant (good prices). The only thing we didn’t like was the shower curtain. We suggest the owner buy the curve curtain rod, to make the tub/shower feel more open(bigger). Other than that it was great!!!

Close to my son’s home. Close to freeway. Perfect number of bedrooms for our group. Very clean. We did need to purchase plastic cups and more silverware for our breakfast. Nice to have a washer and dryer.

Large bedrooms
Clean. Nice house. Comfortable beds.
The only thing I would advise is a child safety issue. The owners could run fence across the back, connecting to the neighbors fences, limiting access to the pond because of the steep drop off. We would book this VRBO again.

Great place for family.
We were visiting family for Thanksgiving and needed a place with enough room for our family. The house was perfect! Lots of room, very clean and well decorated. Hosts were great and easy to communicate with. Would definitely stay again.
