Still a nice place!!!

This was my second stay at the riverfront and its still a nice out of the way place. Clean and simple, the pool table on the back patio is great for friends to pass some time. I just hope the update the TVs to smart TVs so I could use my firestick or log into my NETFLIX, but that was not a big issue for me.

Perfect for a family!!!

Clean property and lots of kitchen utensils and extra pillows and towels and wash cloths. In other properties I have stayed at there are always Limited towels and I worry about having enough, but there were just tons! I really appreciated that! Bonus is having a washer and dryer! It was wonderful having a total of three bedrooms and two bathrooms for such a reasonable price. That plus having three full size couches meant that our family of five was not piled up on top of each other when we were there LOL. I would definitely recommend this property. Short drive to the zoo and State Museum. No negatives here! Communicative property owner.

Nice place to stay. A lot of what you need was available. Nice for a large group (6-10) esp. adults. Lots of tvs, but Direct tv blah! Close to our destination. Host very responsive. Slow drain front bath...lawn needed to be cut. But Nice would stay there again!

Not the best. Not the worst.

The online description of the property was off. It says the house is on a canal. It’s not. It’s within walking distance of a canal. It makes it sound like it’s a lot closer to downtown than it is, although it is an easy drive. The microwave was FILTHY and the mugs in the cabinet had dried crust inside them and they all had to be washed. The front porch was dirty and dusty and and not welcoming to sit on.

Graduation

The property is perfectly located for all different activities. We had graduation at Fort Jackson and a lot of celebrating at restaurants. Whichever direction we went, it was less than 20 mins. House was clean and all necessities were there. The canal river walk is right there and that was a nice bonus. Would definitely recommend this house to anyone visiting the area.
