Hands down the best place we've stayed. We had a group of us down for The Masters and this served as a great home base. Location was great: 10 minutes to grocery stores and bar/food options. 25 minutes to downtown Columbia. 25 minutes to Timberlake Country Club. 75 minutes to Augusta and 90 minutes to Charlotte. Plenty of room to spread out and lots of small details that made the stay very enjoyable.Had an issue with the hot tub and owner fixed it as soon as they could. Landscaping is so beautiful.If you need a large place with plenty of room, this is THE place.
Beautiful sunsets every night. That's a million dollar view.
Everything we needed to cook great meals during our stay.

Stunning property and perfect stay!

This property was absolutely perfect for my son’s graduation from the University of South Carolina. My extended family stayed here and it’s only a 25 minute to 30 minute drive to campus. The house is beautiful, the backyard pool area is stunning, and renting the boat was a nice added benefit. Sunsets are gorgeous, wildlife is beautiful and the house is very comfortable. Communication between the host was outstanding and our overall stay was wonderful. Thank you and we’d love to come back.

Fantastic !

We had a wonderful time at Lake Murray. The house had everything we needed for the week. The pool and cabana outside were perfect. Make sure to reserve the boat to take advantage of all the water activities and the restaurants close by. The communication with Jeff was excellent. We would highly recommend this property. You will not be disappointed. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your home. We hope to return soon.

Paradise on Lake Murray

We had an amazing time at this beautiful property! The house is a great size with a living room upstairs for adults and a kids hangout room downstairs. And the outdoor living space is unbelievable! Gorgeous pool, gazebo, incredible dock and very nice (and plenty of) outdoor furniture. The property manager, Ashley, was so helpful and very responsive from the time I booked the property and throughout the week we rented. She immediately jumped on anything we needed which was really great. We'll definitely be renting this gorgeous property again!!

Our family of 11 recently experienced an unforgettable week at this extraordinary Lake Murray lakefront home. It was easily one of our BEST family vacations ever!From arrival, we were impressed by how beautiful, spotless, spacious, and thoughtfully equipped the home was. Every detail made us feel comfortable and welcomed. The views were spectacular, and the outdoor amenities made our trip extra-special. The pool was even equipped with noodles and toys, which our grandkids put to good use. Then there was the awesome pontoon boat, which took our experience to another level as we cruised around the lake and gave the kids a thrill ride on the tube. Their smiles were even bigger than their faces!A special shout-out goes to Jeff, who is an outstanding property manager. He was always friendly, responsive, and eager to help. His service made an exceptional stay even better. We’ve already planned to book this home again for next summer, which says it all. 18 Sandals exceeded our every expectation, and we certainly recommend it highly!

Fantastic family vacay

Having our whole family together for a week each year is so so important to us…and this house fit our crew perfectly! The layout was ideal for each little family. The pool was spectacular…great for all ages of kiddos because of the sun shelf and ledges. The drop-in kayaking was such a treat each day. We rented the boat one day and the slightly older kids had a blast tubing! The bonus was the nest of great Blue Heron…loved getting to seem them hunt and fly above often. For us, the cook top was super slow to heat up…especially large pots of water to boil..but that was really the only small issue. Super memories made in a super special setting. Thank you!
