Wonderful spot on Lake Murray

Nice, quiet area around Lake Murry with great water view and access. We were able to launch our boat on site, which was an additional plus.

Enjoyed our Stay

We had a lovely time and the accommodations were comfortable and as listed. The owner was very accessible for questions and right on time when we had an issue with the patio umbrella. Although the kitchen and second bath could use updates, we would stay here again

Wonderful Lake Oasis

Wonderful property with great lake views and access. The house is a perfect size for the essentials - rest, relaxation, and the lake. We enjoyed the outdoor deck, kayaking, paddle-boarding, and boating directly from the dock. Highly recommend this place.

This was my first experience with a VRBO so I was unsure what to expect. The check-in process was easy. The property was located in a perfect spot and was incredibly scenic. That's about where the good ended. The inside of the property was very stale smelling. There was mold on the ceiling of both of the bathrooms that could possibly be the source. There seemed to be a lot of deferred maintenance on the property. The cabinets in the kitchen didn't quite close in a lot of cases, the shower head in the main bathroom was detached from the wall, and one of the deck railing panels fell out due to the wind. The pictures on the site looked great but they must be from a few years ago as everything in person seemed to have aged a bit and looked ever so slightly worse for wear. It wasn't the worst place I've ever stayed but I would not stay here again.

Great Place, but a tropical storm happened!

Our stay on beautiful Lake Murray was scheduled in January, for four nights in late September. Unfortunately, we and Storm Helene arrived at about the same time! Enjoyed our first day, then had to leave due to lengthy power and water outages. Owner was very accommodating and issued us a refund. The house is situated right on Lake Murray, beautiful views. I would recommend this property to anyone.

Sisters on the Lake

Overall, everything was perfect except for two things. The one thing is a personal preference. All the mattresses are SOFT. I couldn't handle that, so I had to sleep on the couch to even get a little bit of sleep. I need hard mattresses, so from now on, I need to find out about the mattresses. The second thing was we wanted to use the boat and/or the kayak there. They both had holes! It was appreciated when the slats on one bed broke. They were fixed within an hour! Thanks! learned

Could be a great Lakefront rental

Owner needs to state boat ramp should only be for bass boats. We launch our boat with issues, had to go to public launch to take out. The public launch was close. Grill was not working. We always grill when we rent(which we rent on Lake Murray 5 to 7 times during the summer). 1st night we made do, next morning they came and picked up grill but didn't drop off a new one until the next day! Yes, owner was responsive, but I do not cook beef tenderloin steaks in the house! Last night I did get to grill burgers or would have had to order out. House does need new kitchen items. Salad size plates cannot go in microwave, glasses are very mismatched, knife set was dirty and not sharp. Luckily, I brought my own cookie sheet size pan (the only thing I could rely on). Kitchen cabinets are dated and do not stay closed. Secondary bathtub was horrible but luckily only used Master bath. Would not rent again for the nightly rate being charged.
