Cute Cottage Next to Hunting Island.
Wonderful rental. Very clean and super quiet and private. A great place to recharge and enjoy nature. We enjoyed the short bike ride to Coffin Point Beach each day. Such a unique area with beautiful sunrises to view. For swimming, the pass to Hunting Island could not be beat. Location was close to shopping and a short drive to beautiful Beaufort to spend a day exploring the waterfront shops. The space was perfect for my teens and I. The house had everything I could ever need in the kitchen and in every space.

Marshfront Villa In The Trees - Near Beach & Bay
Wonderful stay on Edisto island. Beautiful house in a peaceful setting. We really liked the quiet area the house was in. We enjoyed time on the screened porch. All the bedrooms were nice and comfortable. Would recommend this house for a restful stay at Edisto!

Ocean Overlook - The Ultimate Vacation Experience
What a stunning little place to spend a few days on the island before heading to Savannah for our daughter's graduation from SCAD! Lovely family oriented beach that's less crowded than others, esp over Memorial Day. We found the condo to be quiet and private, yet easy to get to "the action" if you prefer. Bed was oh so comfortable and the 2 extra large wall mounted TV's were awesome! Chad is generous to provide free streaming services - Netflix, Hulu, & more! Chad is a stellar host- super responsive and genuinely wants your stay to be top notch- ours certainly was and we hope to return again to The Ocean Overlook!

Tiki Paradise: Oceanfront Lazy River + Hot Tubs
Needed a little time away for fun and relaxation. Place was Great. Very clean and host was responsive to any questions- would recommend! It was a Great getaway! Thanks!

Oceanfront Luxury! KING BED 65"TVs Pickleball BAR!
Wow! The condo is spotless! Although the condo is small, there was a lot of thought put into the design—lots of drawers, closet space and hooks to hang items on! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the space! We will definitely return!

Dunes Village ~Oceanfront, Slides,Pools & HotTubs!
This place is perfect for beach access, pools, and all the other things Myrtle Beach has to offer. The entire resort was clean and safe, with security on duty 24/7. The parking is also easy to access and plenty of space. We had two vehicles and it was no issue. The parking deck was just across the street and well lit. Andrew is very responsive and replied with 5 minutes to every question I had. It was a great family spot and centrally located on the Grand Strand. I highly recommend for families and couples.

The Boathouse
We had a lovely time staying in the Boat House. We enjoyed the beautiful surroundings and felt very comfortable. The hosts were responsive and helpful.

A Favorite! Bed nook studio overlooking the ocean!
This was the first time we stayed here, but it won’t be the last time. The place was spotless and the furnishings and decorations were beautiful. Whenever we had a question the host response was quick and helpful. The view is gorgeous! Whenever we stay other places, our backs hurt from the bed. The bed here didn’t hurt our backs and the pillows were so comfortable.

Sunset River Cottage
This is perfect for one or two people. The view is incredible, it’s quiet and serene. The water and the dock are only several feet from the guest house…. At night, I would walk down to the end of the dock and look up at the beautiful sky. So many stars on a clear night . In the morning I would drink my coffee on the floating dock and watch the dolphins swim by . My parents live near and loved visiting me on the deck and sitting for hours sharing stories . My dad was thinking he and my mom would like to rent it for a weekend getaway . Definitely look at the welcome guide the homeowners put together as soon as you arrive.. really good instructions and great ideas for dining and entertainment. I would stay here again . Thank you for creating this beautiful space . Stacy M.. from Michigan

Cheerful 3 bedroom home on the lake
We have stayed here several times and have never been disappointed. Thank you for sharing your home .

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.

Lakefront Container Home | Romantic + Secluded
My husband and I had the best anniversary weekend at The Hive! The hosts went above and beyond with thoughtful touches—the handwritten note, fresh bread, honey, and delicious coffee made us feel so welcomed. There was also an excellent stash of toiletries, which came in handy since I forgot makeup wipes. We loved hanging out on the private dock during the day and relaxing by the propane fireplace on the deck at night. We also enjoyed the close proximity to Greenville. The place was very clean and comfortable. We will definitely be back!

Greenwood Lake Front, FirePit, Outside Kitch, Dock
This is my families second year staying at this house. We love the location and the house and outdoor space is perfect. The host is very friendly and prompt with any concerns. We love being able to have our dogs with us.

A Lakefront Tiny Cabin w/ Private Dock
We loved our vacation on the lake in Tamassee! The location was perfect. We went on 2 beautiful hikes in nearby Nantahala National Forest (highly recommend) and spent lots of time on the beautiful lake jocassee and keowee. The house had everything we needed, was private and peaceful, and we saw lots of wildlife. Tom was very responsive, but we hardly needed to reach out because we had everything we needed.

Destination Keowee
Had the best time at Reah’s amazing lake home. The description of the house is spot on. Perfect location for a getaway or small family retreat. Can’t wait to come back and visit. Mark

Ultimate Lake Marion Dream Home W/Pool & Swim Spa
The home was beautiful, I couldn’t have asked for more. It was spacious and the pictures that seemed too pretty to be true really lived up to their presentation. The hosts were quick to respond and help us when we needed help. I hope you consider booking this home and making memories here.
Treehouse rentals in South Carolina

Private island Treehouse
A very peaceful and relaxing place to stay in Beaufort SC. Joni’s place embodies the essence of Beaufort’s vibe and style. Comfortable, clean and inviting. We will be back!

Waterfront Treehouse
Thank you so much for having us this weekend! Words cannot describe just how perfect it was. The minute my husband and I got here we were taken aback by how beautiful the outside of the treehouse was, and then we made our way inside. We both walked around in amazement pointing and staring in awe at the various details that were so very intricately placed and planned. This home is truly beautiful inside and out. We were so very grateful for the refreshments and snacks that were placed for us (especially the champagne and chilled glasses in the fridge upon arrival!🥰🥹). You can just tell how much thought and love went into making this space a home and we are so very thankful we were able to experience that to the fullest this weekend. We’re already so excited to come back!

Treehouse at Keowee Hollow
Absolutely! Here's a polished Airbnb review you can use: --- **Review:** Staying in this treehouse was an unforgettable experience! From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the attention to detail and the incredible craftsmanship that went into every corner of the space. It’s clear the hosts have put a lot of thought and care into creating something truly special. The treehouse strikes the perfect balance between rustic charm and modern comfort. Everything—from the cozy furnishings to the high-quality finishes—felt intentional and well-designed. It was peaceful, private, and surrounded by nature, making it an ideal escape. If you’re looking for a unique stay that doesn’t compromise on comfort or quality, this is it. Highly recommended!

The Nest-Cozy Private Treetop studio w/large deck
One of the best Airbnbs I’ve ever stayed at: great decor, amenities, location, communication and hosts. I liked being close to, but not in the heart of, Greenville’s hot spots. Loved walking and riding my bike from here … yet I hated to leave the beautiful deck! I can’t want to stay here again.

Luxury Waterfront Tree House | Harbour Town | Pool
Kirtis and Kristopher certainly out did themselves and sure know how to treat guest! The place was absolutely stunning and upon arrival we were surprised with a some extra goodies! My wife was thrilled to see the coffee bar! They were very responsive the entire trip and sent over a rainy day guide for the day it rained. Everything in the treehouse was just perfect! The bed was very comfortable, the kitchen was completely stocked, the bathroom was amazing, the pool passes were a great addition to staying here, and the coffee bar was the perfect day starter! From this location you can walk to the lighthouse / restaurants / shopping within a few minutes, or stay and walk around on Deer Island to remain secluded for peace and quiet. The Deer are very friendly and a few will eat right out of your hand! This was our second stay on Deer Island and we will certainly be booking here again! The background in hospitality most definitely shines through here! Thank you! The Jensen's

The Sunflower House at Lake Jocassee
Beautiful place to stay! We enjoyed spending time here because of the extensive amenities, cleanliness of the home, and the location.

Secluded one room tree house in the woods
This is the best place to stay if you want a private, hospitable, and scenic unique spot. Austin and Bonny are great hosts. The fountain, rootball, bridge, and stream are all huge perks to the already amazing house and bathhouse. Close proximity to downtown Greer, Spartanburg, and Greenville. I cannot say enough good things about the hosts and place!

Luxury Treehouse in the heart of Columbia
We rented this lovely little retreat for our newly wed son and daughter in law. They stayed here in their wedding night and the next night. Jamine was a wonderful host!
Your guide to South Carolina
Welcome to South Carolina
Weeping Spanish moss cloaks the cobblestone streets and historic homes of South Carolina’s oldest cities while its coast beckons travelers from near and far. South Carolina is one of the original 13 colonies of the United States, and it resisted British authority. Perched on the coast just north of Savannah, Charleston has been a major port city since the Spanish first settled the area in the 16th century, and was hotly contested territory in subsequent wars. Remnants of this history still stand in places like Fort Sumter and Fort Moultrie. South Carolina’s draws are heavily clustered around coastal areas like Hilton Head and Myrtle Beach — or on waterways that connect to the sea — but there’s plenty to do and see in its inland cities like the state capital of Columbia and the cultural hotbed of Greenville.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in South Carolina
As one of the southernmost states on the Eastern Seaboard, South Carolina maintains a mild climate year-round, making it an ideal destination no matter when you’re visiting. Summer months are popular at the beaches, so avoid traveling in June, July, and August if you want to escape the crowds. Fall and spring are traditionally beautiful, and a bit cooler, though still T-shirt weather. Keep hurricane season in mind when planning your trip to South Carolina; it runs June through November along the Atlantic coast. Winter, which happens to overlap with oyster season, can be a pleasant time to visit due to the lack of crowds, though some businesses in coastal areas may close seasonally.
Top things to do in South Carolina
Charleston
With its cobblestone streets and antebellum architecture, Charleston is one of the most charming cities in the American South. A peninsula town whose rivers empty into the Atlantic Ocean, it has a warm, welcoming vibe where visitors are treated like family, and just about anywhere you go somebody is eager to fill your cup with a heavy-handed pour of spiked sweet tea. If you want to combine urban travel with a beach getaway, Charleston is the place for you; its downtown core occupies a tight grid of streets and historic homes with thriving beach communities — Folly Island to the west and Isle of Palms and Sullivan’s Island to the east — on each side.
Congaree National Park
Wildlife enthusiasts, hikers, and paddlers will want to add South Carolina’s only national park, just south of Columbia, to their itinerary. The Congaree and Wateree rivers snake their way through the bottomland hardwood forest, part of the Congaree International Biosphere Reserve, making it a great place to observe the unique ecosystems by kayak via its waterways.
Greenville
In the northwestern corner of the Palmetto State near the Blue Ridge Mountains, Greenville is a melting pot of lifestyles: a city made for epicures and art lovers that also places heavy emphasis on outdoor living. While Falls Park on the Reedy is Greenville’s centerpiece, it’s not the only waterfall in town: Greenville boasts more than 30 breathtaking cascades, three state parks, and the 22-mile, multi-use Prisma Health Swamp Rabbit Trail.
