About this property

Charming Bungalow, convenience of downtown, yet a tranquil quiet neighborhood

My home is a three minute drive to art, culture, great restaurants and family-friendly activities. Just across the Gervais street bridge, less than two blocks to the river front park, sits our Bungalow. In a safe, quiet, convenient, neighborhood called New Brookland.

Our 100 year old charmer will take you back in time with the original hardwood floors, hand laid beadboard ceilings, and the hand crafted moldings. But with all new modern luxuries. The house has been completely updated with a new eat in open airy kitchen. With marble counters, a farm house sink, natural gas stove, wine and beverage fridge. The bath has a tile floor and a tub- shower combo. There are three of the five original fireplaces. But the best is the outdoor pool, with its tranquil fountains. There is a covered pergola, equiped with: frefrigerator, sink, television(summer), ceiling fans, and natural gas fireplace and natural gas grill. One flip of the switch and there you are relaxing on the outdoor sofa, while enjoying the cozy fire.

Inside you will find two bedrooms, both furnished with nice luxury linens, and original fireplaces. One bedroom has a king bed, and the other has a queen. The sunroom has a twin daybed for additional guest.

There is convenient on sight parking, privacy fenced back yard, and a covered front porch with rocking chairs. The neighborhood is a great place to take a stroll along the large oaks, just minutes to restaurants and local shops. From art, luxury consignments, day spas, and grocery.

Very nice.

We had a blast. It was a quiet area. It wasn’t very handicap accessible. Also the outdoor cooking area didn’t seem to work. (That could have been due to operator error). Tonya was very nice and she kept me informed and replied quickly to questions. She told me ahead of time that a cat likes to come visit. He was very friendly. I was looking to stay there again. The week I wanted was booked.

Awesome rental

The house was even more impressive in person than they were in the pictures. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely stay here again when in the area. The only negative part of the stay was the on/off rainy weather most of the week that prevented us from getting to fully enjoy the use of the outdoor living space.

Perfect house!

It was such a great place to stay for our family. We came to the area for our son’s graduation from boot camp in Fort Jackson. It was only 20 minutes away and after graduation he got to come back to the house to hang out in the pool, grill out and spend time with everyone. The host was amazing and made our stay very comfortable and easy with checkout. I would highly recommend!!

Peaceful retreat

Beautifully decorated and furnished home with well stocked kitchen. The yard was perfect- quiet and relaxing whether in the covered area for shade and sunny pool. Tonya was outstanding-customer satisfaction is her priority- from making reservation, insuring arrival was satisfactory and that I had everything I needed. Thank you so much!!

Lovely home

We had a wonderful time at Tonya’s house. The house was clean and beautifully decorated. She had spices, coffee, snacks and condiments for guest to use. The house, pool, yard and location were perfect. Tonya was very responsive to answer all my questions. She was very helpful with giving me directions to grocery stores and parks. You really don’t need to bring anything extra with you. The house is supplied with all the extras. We hope we can stay here again.

Family vacation

To many personal items in property... used bars of soap, used razors etc. in bathroom. Food in refrigerator and freezer as well as cabinets. Third bedroom was just a porch with a day bed. Was contacted every day by host...she even asked me to call her once her packages arrived on porch so she could pick up. Day care next door... which was ok except they woke us each day at 6:50 with car doors shutting and locks beeping. The house had many repair projects going on. The house has a nice backyard setting which we did enjoy.

About the host

Hosted by Tonya

Host profile image
Hi, I'm Tonya. Born and raised in SC. i travel for work and i understand having a comfortable place while traveling. opening my home to travelers bring me joy. the hard work that has gone into restoring it and knowing that i have created a warm cozy but yet modern place that you can call your home away from home is so rewarding.

Why they chose this property

This is the up an coming neighborhood in Columbia. The growth, the convenience of walking to restaurants, the river, the baseball stadium, football stadium less than 2 miles, the capital is just over a mile. live music and fun dining spots just a few blocks away. you are right in the middle but yet have lots of privacy.

What makes this property unique

I like to say "close enough to everything, but far enough away". The back yard with its pergola will give you extra outdoor living space. The outdoor fireplace, and grill are right at your fingertips. Sit and enjoy the birds while reading. Sit by the fire while sipping coffee or a glass of wine. Dine by the pool or lounge on the two outdoor sofas. You have door to door parking and the full use of this private home. this is not just a rental it is my personal home when not traveling so i have made sure you will have everything needed to cook a nice dinner, the quality furnishing nice bed linens. you are not just a guest you are family while here.
