Quiet & Cozy~ Near Downtown/USC/Zoo/Ft. Jackson!
This house is great for family with everything you need for young kids in a quiet neighborhood with great park just a 2 minute walk away!

Camden Carriage House on the Polo Field
This quiet little piece of heaven was a quaint wonderfully decorated apartment. It has everything you need and the view was outstanding. I enjoyed sitting out on the deck watching the activity on the polo field. The neighbor's sweet cat came over and made friends. I was in town to judge a horse show and will request going forward to stay in this lovely apartment. Can't wait to come back and stay here again. Thank you, Pat S

Private Studio Apartment
This is a very cute and comfortable place to stay. We loved everything about it. From the relaxing bed, coffee, variety of creamers, snacks, and cleanliness. Very safe neighborhood and we felt right at home. We will definitely be back. Thank you for being wonderful hosts.

Lakefront Gem
We needed a place on short notice, and this property was luckily available. We’re so glad we chose this retreat. It has all the charm that old that made South Carolina famous. The sunset views are magnificent and it was restful and peaceful. So glad we had the chance to experience it.

Forest Acres Charm - Ft.J 5min, USC/DT 10 min.
Nice clean house. Rich was responsive and pleasant, even when we (honestly) accidentally stayed too long. (I know it sounds impossible, but I managed to do it.) Luckily, no one else was scheduled to stay the night we overstayed, and Rich was very flexible and understanding.

Hangar Lofts+ 912 ~ Walk to Stadium
This loft is dope......if you like the loft vibe this fits for you. The converted hanger allows for an industrial feel (metal staircase, wire lights, wire railings, spot lights etc etc. Joab has done a wonderful job of matching the decor with the building. The little patio area was a lovely touch....I've not seen that in a loft before. It was clean and tidy and comfortable. Joab was a great host, responsive, kind and welcoming. Someone had mentioned it being strange to go somewhere to check in and then go to your loft. Yes you do have to stop into their rental office (it's 100 yards from your loft). You show your id and they answer any questions for you. I was there for 4 minutes and then dove 100 yards to my loft. The neighborhood is a little run down, which if you've stayed in lofts before that is normal. That being said you're a 10/12 minute drive for the heat of downtown and 5 minute drive from 77, 5 stars. True to the pics / great host.

Lakefront w pool, dock and pool table, sleeps12
Everything was worth it. I’ve been to a lot of Airbnb’s, and I would recommend Tracy‘s place

Walk to USC Devine Street - Cool Blue Bungalow
I had an amazing stay at this Airbnb! The space was exactly as described—clean, comfortable. The host was incredibly responsive and provided clear instructions for check-in and check-out, which made everything super easy. The neighborhood was quiet and safe, with great local spots for coffee and dining just a short distance away. I especially appreciated the little touches like fresh towels and toiletries. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Cozy Downton Apartment
Cute little home with all you could need for a couple days. The Internet was fantastic for taking work video calls throughout the day and the neighborhood is really cute to walk around. Less than ten minutes to downtown. This is a great deal for the location and amenities provided. The host is a super nice guy if you have the pleasure of meeting him too.

Cozy 3 BR Bungalow Located in Downtown Columbia
Katie’s home was once again perfect! The location was super convenient for our son’s graduation from USC. Katie was responsive to all our questions, allowed us an earlier check in than we originally thought, and all instructions were clear. The house was very clean, with everything we needed for our stay. Thank you, Katie, for contributing to a fantastic grad weekend! If ever we’re back in Cola, we would love to stay again.

Gamecock Cottage @ Lake Murray-Waterfront w/ Dock
We were looking for a short getaway to decompress a bit after youngest son's USC graduation events and then oldest son's wedding a week later. our stay at the Gamecock cottage took care of that. It was a relaxing time while at the cottage or on the boat we rented and docked there. The cottage was very comfortable and well equipped. Most of our time there when not on the boat was spent just sitting on the deck.

4 bedroom close to lake, downtown, mall
Perfectly situated for our family. Everyone had their own space, not cramped and not fighting for bathrooms or anything else.

COLA Condo III 5pts &Downtown Columbia
Loved the B-Team's place and loved the B-Team in general! Amazing and sweet people! Will definitely be staying here again! Thank you B-Team for everything!!

The Carolina Cottage: Near Ft Jackson, Zoo & 5pts!
Excellent host! Very responsive. House was very clean and exactly as described. Very reasonable checkout duties! While the route to the house passes through a few areas that may be considered slightly less desirable, the neighborhood immediately surrounding the property is well-maintained and appears safe.

Freshly New House
The house is very clean, description accurate, host responsive and good location. Have stayed in several properties in Columbia due to work and this one was great all-around.

Oasis in the heart of Lexington
Dave’s place was the perfect Airbnb stay. The home was spotless, well-stocked, and incredibly comfortable. The neighborhood was quiet and safe, and it was conveniently located near shops, restaurants, and local attractions. Dave was an exceptional host—communicative, friendly, and thoughtful. Check-in was seamless, and everything was exactly as described. I’d definitely book again and highly recommend this spot to anyone visiting the area!

Private home | 7 Acres Near Lake | Tucked away
One of my favorite Airbnbs. Such a cozy, secluded location to get some much needed writing done. I love feeling a part from the world, but only 5 minutes from so many great locations!

Lakefront home on Lake Murray with private dock
Lovely place, very helpful/responsive hosts (Chris/Chrisi and Kim)beautiful and serene surroundings with easy 10 minutes access or less to Lexington and all its restaurants/shops. The home is older but key areas have been updated (kitchen and master bathroom). Our kids loved the double full bunk beds downstairs and the fire-pit was great for family time/smores. The dock was perfect for turtle/bird watching. Highly recommend!

The Cola White House | Sleeps 16 | 7 minutes to DT
This is such a perfect home. All the details really make it feel special. The beds were super comfortable and you can tell they put a great deal of care into the location.
