About this property

Gorgeous Water View, Private Boat Ramp, Dock w/Lounging Area & Many Amenities

Sunrise Boat House (SBH) is a charming, renovated, 1960's lake-front home with numerous amenities and large water views. The updated, 1400 square foot, 3-bedroom, 2-bath home, has an inviting coastal cottage feel.

The spacious lake-facing deck is a perfect spot to put your feet up, sip your coffee, watch the sunrise, and see the abundant wildlife of the area. The deck includes two chaise lounge chairs with thick, comfy cushions, two zero-gravity lounge chairs, and a hammock nearby, for you to relax and take in the lake view.

At SBH, you're in store for some fun on the water, as we include four kayaks (3 singles & 1 double), two stand-up paddle boards, an 18' x 6' floating oasis pad. These water toys and numerous other smaller floats will certainly help you to enjoy lake life to the fullest!

The home's new, (Fall 2023) private dock, includes a large seating/lounging area that begins at the water's edge (when lake is full). It houses 4 chairs & a coffee table as well as two lounge chairs. A rolling umbrella provides you with some extra shade wherever you'd like it! The dock also features a wide set of stairs that provide easy entry into the lake, and a dock box for storing all your favorite lake toys at arm's reach.

If you bring a boat along, you won’t need to search for the nearest launch, as SBH offers a private boat launch right into the calm waters of the large cove it is situated on. The 12' x 20' floating dock has space for 2 boats to be moored on its longer sides. Security for your vehicle(s) and boat(s) is provided with two cameras that cover the driveway/parking areas at SBH.

The home has central heating and air conditioning as well as ceiling fans throughout. All beds have high quality mattresses with memory foam toppers and soft, high thread count, 100% cotton sheets. Linens are washed in free & clear detergents without added fragrance. SBH is eco-friendly, using compostable trash bags, LED lighting, refillable soaps, and encouraging recycling.

There are 2 full bathrooms in the home and both bathing and lake towels are provided for guest use. Showers include Hyatt Hotels Argan Oil Collection shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. A washer/dryer unit is available for any laundry needs that should arise and free and clear laundry detergent is provided.

The well-equipped kitchen has all the amenities of home including a reverse osmosis drinking water system, granite countertops, new stainless steel appliances (2022), and a large selection of bakeware and ceramic coated pots & pans. For holiday meal prep, there is a large roasting pan, electric hand mixer, mixing bowls, and more. Dishes, silverware, and glassware will service 10+. Cocktail hour is also covered, as the home includes wine, beer, rocks, champagne, and martini glasses.

The kitchen is open to the family room and lake view, so you can enjoy the gorgeous vistas while preparing meals; or step outside onto the deck and sear your food to perfection on the 6-burner grill. The deck also hosts two tables, each with an umbrella and seating for 4, so you can enjoy dining al fresco.

If having someone else cook is more your idea of vacation, this home is a quick 5 minute boat ride to the Rusty Anchor/Catfish Johnny’s Restaurant as well as Liberty on the Lake Restaurant and Bar (and marina). Additionally, the Chapin Publix Grocery Store and Lowes Foods (6.0 miles away) will deliver pre-made deli foods and groceries to the house via Instacart.

For entertainment beyond the lake, the family room has a 70” SMART TV (Roku) with Spectrum basic cable and lots of comfy seating that allows you to enjoy the tv or lake views. Each of the 3 bedrooms has a wall-mounted 32" SMART TV (Roku) as well. For additional fun, game-night awaits with a cabinet stocked full of board games, card games, and puzzles.

When it’s finally time for some evening relaxation, star gazing over the lake here is incredible! A backyard fire pit and 6 Adirondack chairs are ready and waiting for you to roast marshmallows (expandable roasting sticks are in the kitchen) or enjoy your favorite beverage and swap tall tales about your fishing adventures!

While we would love to say that you can truly “escape from it all” at Sunrise Boat House, we do have Spectrum Internet Ultra, Wi-Fi, and excellent cell phone coverage… but we promise not to tell anyone if you don’t!

USC Graduation Stay at Lake Murray
My family and I enjoyed five days in this lovely home. We chose Lake Murray as our “home away from home” while celebrating our daughter’s graduation from the UofSC. Prior to booking, Stephanie answered all of my questions in a timely manner. The check in process was easy and we were able to get settled and unpacked in minutes. The thoughtful details in every room let us know that the owners wanted us to relax, be comfortable, and enjoy ourselves. We truly felt like valued guests. Not only was the house spotless, but it was equipped with everything we needed. We were struck by the peacefulness and beauty of their location on a quiet cove off the lake. There are activities for everyone, including people who don’t swim or own (or rent) a boat. We tried stand up paddle boarding for the first time and had a blast! We also took the kayaks out to paddle around the cove and then venture out toward the main area of the lake. Lake Murray is huge and impressive. We were limited in taking advantage of all the house and surrounding area has to offer because we spent quite a bit of time on campus for various ceremonies and celebrations, but we made memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!

Wonderful Lakeside Stay
We came over Easter weekend with the kids. They host had asked prior and decorated with Easter Decor. We were able to make it to the Soda City Farmers Market Saturday morning! We brought our boat and was able launch it from the side yard and keep at the dock during our stay. The location was great to both waterfront dinning options. Rooms were well appointed, beds comfortable and the kitchen had all of the utensils and appliances we needed. Grocery stores nearby and we were able to grill out and go out via boat for dinner. Back porch and deck were great for sunning and the paddle boards were a welcome addition. Would definitely come back again!

Greetings!

I lead a quiet life with my husband and three sons. We enjoy traveling to new places and meeting local people, spending time with our family and friends, and entertaining at our home.

I work as a nursing professor and love teaching the next generation of nurses! If I hadn’t gone into nursing, I would have been a wedding or event planner, as I love creating beautiful spaces and occasions for people to enjoy together.

Having grown up in Wisconsin, lake days were always a favorite pastime and I'm excited to now share our family’s lake home with you!
