USCc Band trip

We stayed at the house with a group of kids participating in a band clinic at USC. The location was perfect and we really enjoyed the stay. The house has great space. They played games and ate together and had plenty of room for sleeping and just hanging out.

Wonderful house!

We rented this house for a 2 week stay before our kids could move into their college apartments. The house is a great size and fully stocked with everything you could possibly need. The communication with the owner was top notch - so easy and very responsive! Very convenient location near USC and Five Points. Would definitely recommend.

Very close to Fort Jackson

This house has so much character! I am a fan of old homes, so the fact that this one is over 100 years old was great for me! I loved the beautiful floors, and the claw for bathtub upstairs was a new experience for my family. The yard is beautifully maintained and inviting. If not for the rain, we would have spent more time out there. It is about 10 minutes to the gate to Fort Jackson, which was perfect for us since we were there for a basic training graduation. I would definitely stay in this house again if I were to go back to Columbia.
