Vanessa was a wonderful host. The house is beautiful and located in the 5 points area. Walking distance to shops, great restaurants and coffee shops. Also close to the Vista which also has great restaurants. We had four couples and plenty of room and set up for all to be comfortable. Thanks for everything

This was the most well appointed, easy and comfortable location we've ever stayed with VRBO out of many across North America. Every room was stocked with everything you could think of. The house was utterly charming and so centrally located - so easy to walk to 5 Points and get to the University and Downtown. The host was very nice and responsive. I could've moved in and stayed! Highly recommend!

This made me laugh! As long as you don’t pull down his driveway or block it in any way even for a few moments, the neighbor is not a bother. We did put parking signs up & it’s helped overall! Thanks for staying!

This was the perfect property for my family to come down from Ohio to meet up with family from Florida for a long weekend with our daughter. The house is amazing and was the perfect place to spend time together. We will definitely plan to stay here again!

I think the most common word used to describe the home was "WOW". It was large and comfortable, with room for all. The hosts were accommodating and the little things were all there. The bathrooms had better amenities than many top hotels, and the kitchen had everything you could need. Even a double oven for those who want to cook a holiday dinner.

Excellent Stay – Just As Advertised!

We had a fantastic experience at this property! Everything was exactly as advertised, which was a huge relief. The place was spotless when we arrived—clean, well-maintained, and clearly cared for. The location couldn’t have been better—close to everything we wanted to see and do, yet peaceful and quiet when we needed to relax. Communication with the host was smooth and easy. Highly recommend this rental for anyone looking for a stress-free and comfortable stay!

Columbia Girls night

The property was amazing and fully equipped with all of our needs. We were only there overnight but would have loved to have stayed longer. The porch and balcony were both wonderful but we were not there long enough to enjoy them. Next time we have a girls weekend in Columbia we will definitely make sure to stay there again.

Comfortable and convenient

We really enjoyed our week at the Charleston House! The home was so pleasant with space for everyone to spread out and have some alone time, as well as great spaces to gather. The kitchen was lovely! We appreciated that so many things were within walking distance and the property manager was really easy to work with and communicate. Would definitely stay again! Note that if you have multiple cars, there is off street parking for 3 vehicles and everything else is permit parking due to the proximity to the University.

How do you give 7 stars when there is a 5 star max? What a great house, location, management company. House was perfect for my daughter’s graduation weekend and dinner. The house was beautifully and tastefully decorated for Christmas, was warm inviting. It is a large house, room for families or couples. Perfect for our family coming from three different states. Communication with management was seamless. The only negative for us was that coming from three different states in four cars, the parking was challenging. We were aware in advance that there was very limited parking but it really wasn’t an issue once we got unpacked. Would not deter me from renting there again, it was worth the short walk. Highly recommend this rental!
