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.

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.

Perfect Location!
Great location, didn't have to travel more than 20 minutes to any of our destinations. Quiet, older neighborhood, with access to Columbia Canal River Trail, just steps front the home. This is strictly a rental property, no frills (except the pool table) just the basics, but has everything you'll need.

Fort Jackson BCT. Great place to stay
Fantastic experience at this property. We spent 4 days/3nights here during Fort Jackson BCT Graduation. We slept 8 people very comfortably. Plenty of room to play games in the evening. Worked well for our purpose. I will certainly recommend this to anyone! We had some communication w the host and he always responded in a timely manner. We needed to extend our reservation for a day and he accommodated us. We will definitely return if we are in this area again. I
