Livin' the Lake Life! Home w/dock/gazebo-Sleeps 8

MaryRating, 5 stars1 week ago
The lake house was great. Everything was very clearly labeled, organized, and well thought out. Sara thought of everything. It was very comfortable, and check out was especially easy. It was so nice to not have to strip the beds, wash the towels, take the trash to the curb, etc that so many other airbnbs make you do.

Breathtaking View On Lake Murray

RichardRating, 5 stars6 days ago
My family enjoyed this beautiful lake house with an amazing view! There were so many amenities provided to enjoy the lake life from fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding, floats, fire pit area to a screened in porch with a TV to name a few. We enjoyed watching the sunrise while catching fish early in the morning off the dock. The turtles would come up to the dock each morning while we were fishing. The host has a well stocked kitchen with everything labeled which was very convenient. There is an outside grill on the deck. I would highly recommend renting this beautiful lake house!

Lake Murray: Panoramic Views, Kayaks & Hot Tub

TimRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
We had such a lovely little getaway at Jessica’s place. It’s in a perfect spot for families with kids—my children had the best time playing in the playhouse, and the hot tub was such a relaxing treat. The kayaks were a great bonus! Our family of five, with two school-aged children and a toddler, fit comfortably between the two kayaks, so we were all able to go out on the water together. Jessica was incredibly kind and responsive, answering all my questions before we booked and going out of her way to make sure we felt welcome and at home. The gift basket was such a thoughtful touch. My daughter quickly claimed the tumbler and now brings it to school every day—she says she never wants to forget “sunshine and nap time.” It’s those little details that made our stay feel extra special.

Located on big water with private dock

JenniferRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We stayed for the weekend of our daughter’s wedding at Heron Hill Venue. The location was great and the scenery beautiful. The lake house is well equipped, comfortable, and decorated but not cluttered. The deck overlooking the lake was the perfect place to sit in the morning and relax with my hot cup of tea before wedding preparations got crazy. Only wish we’d had more time to enjoy it. Kim was very helpful and responsive. I would come back again even without a wedding to attend. High marks for this lake house retreat!

Casa Azul - Lake Murray - Close in - Spa like bath

ScottRating, 5 stars8 months ago
We enjoyed our week at the lake and found the home well-stocked. We ate most of our meals at home and had everything we needed. The kitchen was nicely appointed, and the appliances were high quality. There is a Publix grocery store 10 minutes away and several local restaurants to enjoy. We used the charcoal grill for several meals and sat outside as much as possible. The whole family enjoyed the kayaks, paddle boards, canoes, and swimming in the lake. A ladder on the dock would make it easier to get out of the lake, but we made due.

Beautiful Lake Murray Retreat

HunterRating, 5 stars6 months ago
What a very enjoyable stay. We needed a place last minute to evacuate our home in FL for a hurricane. Janice and Nathan responded immediately and had the place ready for us when we arrived. It was perfect for what we needed and our two dogs loved it with the fenced in yard. If you have pets and want to get away….this is the spot!!! Place was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The view from the back porch is amazing and when you walk down to the water it takes all your stresses away. We will certainly be back!

Cozy 3BR | Lake/Trail Access | Mins to Ft Jackson

I had a fantastic stay at this Airbnb! The house was absolutely spotless — everything was clean, fresh, and well-maintained. You can tell the hosts really care about creating a welcoming and comfortable space. The check-in process was smooth, and all the amenities were exactly as described (if not better!). It felt like a home away from home. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and relaxing place to stay.

Spacious home in quiet cove.

CarrieRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Amazing views!! The house was clean, had lots of kitchen supplies for cooking, great quiet location while being a close distance from some wonderful restaurants! We ate at the Mexican Restaurant (Na'cho Margarita) and Martin's Landing Bar & Grill. Both we're great with wonderful service and good food! Communication with the host was quick and always helpful. The lake, in the backyard, was a short walking distance from the house with a nice pier and areas to tie our boat. The lake is absolutely gorgeous - perfect for boat riding, fishing, watching numerous ducks and wildlife and spectacular views of the sunrise and sunset. The only thing that I didn't like was the hard mattress in the master bedroom. However, that's more a personal preference because my husband and I have back issues. I would certainly recommend this place for a fun, relaxing, family or couples adventure!
