We loved this location, it was so nice to be spread out and to have room for 6 of us. It was nice and clean and much much better than staying in a hotel like we normally do. The whole check in and check out process was so easy and convenient. Thanks again for everything!
We had to leave our home due to the Hurricane... this place was the perfect getaway. Room was clean, check in was easy and the owners were very responsive to all our questions and requests.
Spent 4 nights over Thanksgiving. Great communication with the host. Nice quite neighborhood, and the yard is fully fenced, we brought our dogs. Beds were comfortable. Only complaint was cleanliness of the carpets and the sofa., should be replaced soon.
The property was very clean and comfortable. Very close to Ft Jackson, the 2 day commute back and forth was easy. We enjoyed the short time we had together.
Overall, we were very happy with our stay. I would recommend letting it be known that there is a dining table and 6 chairs and also a table and 4 chairs on porch. Also to let you know of some improvements that could be made, there is a need for comforters on upstairs beds. Also, the kitchen needs better and more silverware. We are just letting you know these small things for your sake. We are not complaining. We really did enjoy staying at this house. The beds are very comfortable. The bathrooms are very nice. The location is very convenient and very close to Gate 2 on Fort Jackson. The upstairs worked very well for 4 children underthe age of 7
Great place to stay for Family Day/ Graduation for Ft Jackson
Cute and comfy house in a convenient location about 15 minutes from the base with lots of food options around. The hosts were friendly and responded quickly to any questions we had. The listing was very accurate and there were quite a few amenities and toiletries available for use. The price was super reasonable as well. 10/10 would recommend if you’re visiting Ft Jackson or Columbia in general!
Everything was wonderful and the house was perfect for the 6 of us. Clean and stocked with everything we needed. Communication with our hosts was absolutely amazing! We would stay again in a heartbeat.
Weekend stay for a Gamecocks game. Futons were reasonably comfortable but not enough linens for all 3 futons and pull out couch. Luckily we had some of our own. Overall clean, nice neighborhood convenient to Williams Brice. Would stay again.
Came for son’s graduation from basic training. Location was great, close enough to Fort Jackson and to stores and restaurants. The property was perfect for us all to spend time together. We had no complaints. Highly recommend this property.
This house was excellent for our large group of 7. We all had plenty of space and the location was super convenient to get to Fort Jackson, it literally only took 10 minutes from driveway to the gate. Great experience overall.
Very clean and spacious. The only thing that we would have liked to have had were for more towels and blankets and possibly TV’s in the bedrooms but other than Thant it was a lovely place to stay.

House is in a good location, quite neighborhood, house matches description and pictures, with the exception of the backyard screened in porch which has some holes/rips in the screen. Check-in was a hassle: property management company (not VRBO) required that I upload a photo of my drivers license but they waited until 3 days before check in to request it. I was in a remote area, had poor cell phone reception. I would have preferred to option of doing at time of reservation. Instead I was forced to alter plans and use my precious vacation time to comply; otherwise they would not send me check in instructions (and refund window had already expired.The property management company also charged additional 50 (three days before I arrived) because they made a mistake and thought I was going to bring a pet. Needed to call property management company 3 times to correct the the issue and get a refund.

Only, hiccup was gaining access to the property it took my wife 3 hrs to get a hold of someone to assist.
I have never had an issue booking with VRBO until this booking. It required me to send more information in that is already verified by VRBO and was a couple hours process booking the house because of the management company. The house was perfect and great location.
This house was very comfortable, clean, and spacious. The bathrooms were very nice, clean, and they provided everything (towels, shampoo, conditioner, etc.) The beds are comfortable and very clean (they even smelled clean!) In general, this was an amazing house. Located at a short drive from Fort Jackson and local restaurants, everything is conveniently at hand. My favorite thing about the property manager is how they like to rent to families with members in the military. They understand very well what a family visiting Fort Jackson looks for and comfortably provides that and more!

Nice
Small home but cozy. Had lots of damage prior to stay and the door had the pin lock which died. It was just really small and a lot of lights didn’t work
