The Space

Step inside and feel at home. The condo is bright, comfortable, and well-equipped for your stay.

This was our second time staying here and we loved it as much as we did the first time. It is a lovely condo, close to many things in West Columbia, and not too far from all things USC. It is very comfortable, well-stocked, and suits us well.

We had a wonderful stay in West Columbia. This condo is clean, and we like a really clean space in which to stay on our travels. Who wouldn’t? It has beautiful green trees outside the sliding doors that hid the Saluda River during our August stay. You feel enclosed in lush greenery. It is a private community that is quiet and beautifully landscaped. We were 5 minutes away from Riverside Botanical Gardens and Zoo! Our stay was a delight. Bob and Dana are wonderful hosts.

Nice Place

Found everything to be clean inside and very comfortable. However we were unable to enjoy the patio due to the number of spiders and their webs. Maybe some heavy duty bug killer.
According to Google, it's a Giant Golden Orbweaver.

Charming condo in a great location

The condo is very clean and everything looked great. We had everything we needed. It is on the second floor, but the way the land is sloped you only have to go up 6 or so steps to get to the front door. It is also an end unit, so you only have people on one side of you. The neighborhood is very quiet and we didn't have any issues. The back deck is very private in the spring and summer, looking out onto woods. There is a house off to the right that you could probably see when the trees lose their leaves. Note their is only one TV in the whole condo in the living room, there aren't any in the bedrooms. The location is hard to beat. It's about 10 minutes west of downtown and was conveniently located to everything we wanted to do. We'd definitely stay here again if we were going to be in Columbia.

graduation

The property was perfect!! My family stayed here because we were going to a graduation in Ft Jackson. The drive was super easy and only 25 minutes away from the base. The property location was also easy to visit other places and restaurants. My daughter had workouts to complete while we were here and there was plenty of room to get her runs in. We will definitely stay here again.

Great stay

This apartment was very roomy and quite comfortable. Bob was very easy to get in contact with and friendly to talk to. The river walk nearby is a must because it was beautiful and shady. The trail was either cemented or had a board walk. I plan to rent this apartment in the future.

The condo was so cute and exactly as listed. The owner communicated well with us and checked in to make sure we had everything we needed (which we did!). We loved being so close to all of the things we wanted to do (the riverwalk, Soda City Market, exploring the USC campus, going to a USC football game). We would definitely stay here again!
