Private Studio Apartment

SheilaRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
Justin and Megan's place was so clean and welcoming. Don't let the small size of the place fool you. It has practically anything you would need. We only stayed one night en route to another destination, but it could not have been more perfect. We felt extremely safe in this location, and it was nice to know the owners were next door should we need them.

Cozy studio apartment, convenient location

VictoriaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
This is my 3rd stay at Sharon’s Airbnb in 3 years. We love Congaree National Park! This time I saw it leafing out in early spring. I brought my own kayaks and also hiked 5 miles. We even went out for Italian. We love this studio and her fountains, porch and gardens!

JenniferRating, 5 stars3 months ago
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.

The home is beautiful and full of original character. The neighborhood is quiet and easily accessible. Dane was absolutely amazing to deal with. He is quick in responses and goes beyond to accommodate any special requests or needs if possible. Our trip was a lot less stressful with him as our host!

This is our fourth or fifth time staying at Kristin's ~ which tells you all you need to know. It is our VERY FAVORITE AirBnB! In fact, we've moved vacation dates around just so we could stay here on our way to Florida! Everything about it is amazing! There were even some updates since we last stayed, which took things to a whole new level! It is a great value and the perfect place! Super highly recommend and we can't wait to go back!

We really enjoyed our stay! It was perfect for a weekend of traveling with the dogs and our toddler. They all enjoyed the yard, it was fenced in and private! The house was comfortable and clean. Rosemarie thought of every detail- everything we needed was there from kitchen supplies to bathroom supplies. She was very pleasant to communicate with and even offered us an early check in! Highly recommend!

Definity use caution with the driveway it is very steep! Be aware the tree roots are as big as speed bumps.

Sunshine BNB in Downtown Cola- walk to 5 Parks!

JamieRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This was a cute little house on a pretty quiet street with minimal traffic. House was perfect for the amount of people we had and had everything to accommodate our needs. The only thing that was a negative for me was the sand driveway. There is sand all over in my car. But otherwise the house was great and they were very responsive to all of our questions.

Charming bungalow

ConnorRating, 5 stars1 day ago
Stayed here for almost a week with my girlfriend and our dogs, and we loved every second of it. The house was spotless-honestly even better than the photos! It smelled amazing, was decorated beautifully, and felt super cozy the moment we walked in. Everything we could possibly need was provided. The kitchen was well-stocked and had a coffee machine, which I really appreciated. You can tell a lot of thought went into making sure guests feel at home. Shawn, the host, was phenomenal—super responsive and helpful with any questions we had. Parking was easy, and the neighborhood was quiet snd close to everything. This place made for a perfect little getaway, and we’d absolutely stay again! Highly recommend!

Urban Townhouse Retreat

AllisonRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
I was thrilled at the ease of finding the home and directions were perfect. The home was larger than I expected and fully stocked with whatever one might need. The ability to bring dogs was great along with their being able to just go outside in the fenced area. I appreciate their hospitality, cleanliness, convenience, communication and so much more. I highly recommend this host and home.
