Top Hotels Near Gaillard Island in Pineville

"The Waterfront Outpost on the Shores of Lake Marion. Bells Marina is a practical mix of full-hookup RV sites, glamping tents, and a 12-room lodge. The property is built for the "get up and go" lifestyle. Our room was clean, functional, and equipped with all the essentials and even some freebies. The property is fully gated with 24/7 camera surveillance and ample free parking. You have to check-in in the store building facing the road where you get a tag for your vehicle. The real "lobby" there is the lakefront. Guests have full access to well-maintained common outdoor spaces. In the early spring, it was a sanctuary of silence. Directly adjacent to the property is the Eutaw Springs Battlefield, a pivotal Revolutionary War site. We went for a walk and learned quite a bit of history. Bells Marina is a pocket gem of the Lowcountry but it is rather rural.There is a small on-site store for essentials, but the stretch between there and Santee is largely undeveloped. Honestly, Santee is not that fancy :) We went to the closest IGA to stock up on your favorite groceries to take full advantage of the lakeside dining and didn't regret it. The morning shower was hot and strong and the towels were fluffy. These guys (thanks God) don't use cheap scented detergents or cleaners. Although pet-friendly, the place smelt fresh and was sparkling clean. We were pretty happy to find this landing spot to enjoy the best of the Santee Cooper lake system. Don't forget your fishing gear!"

"We had a fantastic time during our stay at Fish Tale Cove! The accommodations were super comfy and cozy (we especially LOVED the sunroom and the fluffy blankets)!! Our delightful host Tara, was incredibly welcoming, communicative, and spot on with her recommendations!! All in all, we had a wonderful time and would gladly stay there again! I highly recommend this wonderful vacation home to ANYONE looking for a super fun place to stay in the area!!"

"Yes kitchen was stocked for cooking!Clean rooms, good internet, good location!"

"The house was perfect and the location worked well for us. We were in the area visiting family at Shaw AFB and the location was convenient to the base and activities nearbye. We will book here every time we visit, it was much more than we hoped for. I only wish we would have had summer weather instead of winter to enjoy the outdoor features more."

"Gorgeous location and property. The kitchen lacked some of the items needed to cook or utensils were broken. The electronics on the oven were in frazzle mode which made it hard to determine settings or timers. However the rest of the house was perfect and clean for the stay! Thank you."

"Great place to stay. Would recommend especially for those that like to fish Santee Cooper lakes. Very clean and well stocked. "

"Great layout of the house to fit 6 separate bedrooms and still have large den and kitchen area. "

"Location was ideal for Lake Marion access and the onsite boat ramp was a wonderful bonus."

"The host, amenities and location. "
