About this property

Gorgeous Lake Front Home - Stunning Views and Sunrise over the Water

This a family and or large group overnight dream stay. I have turned this awesome 5 BR Lake Front Home into a lake front rental destination to accommodate larger groups looking for a higher end amenity versus the standard overnight hotel in Santee. Lake Marion Waterfront Home! Stunning Views! Gorgeous Open Floor Plan! Over 5000 Sf Of Serenity And Peace Await You! Best panoramic and sunrise view on the Lake and a dock where we catch 20+ lb catfish every time we cast out a few lines.

There are a total of 6 BR's and an additional kitchen, basically 2 houses in 1; however I live in what I call the Mother In Law Suite that has a separate entrance and is sectioned/locked off from the main house. I have a dog Luna (Half Shepherd/Lab) who lives with me but don't allow her out, except with me on a leash when house is rented.

****Full Disclosure here - I want to address some of the concerns from a few of the reviews posted. I moved into this house on Aug 4, 2019 under a lease to purchase contract. I closed on the house in late September, 2020. I could not put alot of work or time into the home until I closed on it and many items were starting to malfunction due to lack of maintenance by the previous owner. I still have a lot of work to do but its going to be a work in process and like eating an elephant "one bite at a time" however I assure you the house is a great value for the price charged and the location and amenities that it provides to renters. I am at the home most of the time however if any of my renters have any issues, they are welcome to contact me and I'm a very reasonable and flexible person and will address and remediate any concerns or issues.

Not prepared for guests

No lavatories worked properly, kitchen disheveled, coffee pot dirty with old, molded coffee in it, old smelly garbage in kitchen trash bin, curtains could not be closed (hanging from rod),had to search for towels for upstairs bedrooms. Advertised hot tub was upside down in the yard. Advertised game room was trashed with black mold on walls. Need I say more?

Terrific time

This house gave us enough room for our entire family. We enjoyed fishing and swimming and just watching the beautiful sunset. The owner was so easy to work with. It was a 3 minute walk to the restaurant and the food was delicious. We hope to do this trip again and stay longer.

College coach

It could be an amazing house and rental. Needs updating but owner says that in description and the price point is good considering. Right on the lake and it’s a beautiful area. Our college basketball team played 2 games in SC and it was perfect for our group.

Catfishing is grate

We have stayed at this property three years in a row, and while it still needs some upgrading that the last owners did not do every year you can see inprovments that the new owners are working very hard to get done.

A Great Getaway

This home has great potential. There is plenty of space for a large group. The property owner was easy to work with and replied every time I texted or called. My our 4 year old great granddaughter now refers to it as “The Christmas House”. We made some great memories here. The weather was perfect and the sunrise and sunset over the lake were beautiful.

Tony was awesome and very hospitable!

Although Tony was on site, he was very helpful but not intrusive. It was a pleasure meeting him. The house has a beautiful view, and good location to lake. Only reason not a 5 star is because the house needs some updating, and the A/C had a really hard time keeping up. Got pretty warm. We had a great time here

Fishing family reunion

The home is under repair which was disclosed in the listing and this was no issue for us. It had everything we needed for our time away. Family members ranged in age from less than 1 to almost 81. The spiral staircase is a bit daunting and is the only way to get upstairs where all but 1 bedroom is located - but it was fine once we got used to it. If we have the opportunity - we will definitely plan to reserve this home again.

Fishing, family, and fun

Location, location, location! The house, as mentioned in other reviews, is older and could use some updates, but the owner is actively updating the house (i.e. new floors have been installed in the common living area). The dock proved to be the most valuable portion of the property. We caught fish from morning to night simply by sitting on the dock and casting our lines out (no boat needed). This was a great location and place to have a relaxing family vacation.

Review lake house on Lake Marion SC

The lake house has many issues needing TLC. The house and size of house is great. The bathroom toilet needs a new flap and flush master. The nobs on sinks need to be repaired, some water was turned off due to poor plumbing, kitchen needs some new appliances, the rails on the porch should be replaced, there’s more but not enough time

Not impressed

Accommodated our large family but would not stay there again. House did not feel clean at all. There were dead bugs everywhere and closets had no room for hanging clothes due to the amount of stuff in them. Some beds did not have sheets and did not provide enough towels for the number that it sleeps. Owner responded quickly through Vrbo but pictures did not match the state of the house.

A great house on the lake in desperate need of cleaning/updating

Great location due to proximity of lake. Great place to get away for some quiet and relaxation. We really enjoyed the pier area and utilized it a lot for fishing and swimming. However, the place was very dirty and outdated. Some of the lights did not work, the pots/pans and grill were/was dirty, toilets and tub were not cleaned and had some residue on them, the downstairs wine area and hot tub was unusable. To their credit, the owner was flexible with our check-in and was willing to work with us, however was unresponsive at times. Overall we had a good time and were grateful for the owner allowing a large group with pets to use his house. But it could use a bit of updating and deep cleaning to really improve the experience for us and any future renters.

Weekend vocation

The house was big but very old, no repairs was done probably in a few years. Water leaking in a kitchen and bathrooms, not enough lights in the house, all wood on the back patio broken, a lot of spiders and very dirty, the grill was very dirty and no gas. All kitchen supply unusable and more and more. Really not recommend this property.

Boys golf trip

Great location, house has a lot of potential. It's old and needs some attention outside and in. Septic system has problems and smells really bad. Back porch railing is about to fall off. Some cleaning issues like master shower, grill and windows. Inside was comfortable and we all had a good time. The Marina down the street was a lot of fun. Overall a great trip, but would not come back unless safety and cleaning issues resolved. Web site pictures do not reflect the condition of this house. The owner is a good guy and I know he is trying to work some of these issues.

About the host

Hosted by Anthony Mizzell

Host profile image
My name is Tony Mizzell. I was born in Charleston, SC, grew up on and around this lake. I just relocated back here after living in Columbia for the past 30 years. I own a couple of small businesses and the Santee House is my newest venture.

Why they chose this property

In my opinion and I'm sure many others, there may not be a better Lake Marion front lot and view than what we have here........... It's pretty special!

What makes this property unique

Very few houses on and around Lake Marion can accommodate and sleep 20 guests, plus you would be hard pressed to find a better location on the Lake with close proximity to the three golf courses located in Santee.
