Thank you kindly! We're so glad you enjoyed your stay and were able to spend time with family while you were here! We look forward to many more visits in the future!
The property is beautiful. And the hostess's are lovely with their southern charm! Would highly recommend staying at their accommodation, whether it’s in one of their 3 guest rooms (all facing the lake) or in the cottage, which is a 2 bedroom, living room, with a kitchen, private patio facing the lake, along with a boat deck. Phenomenal view of Lake Murray!

We thoroughly enjoyed having your family stay with us at Island's Sunset Cottage! We're glad that you all had a great get-away and had fun together. We're glad you enjoyed playing shuffleboard and ping pong, and swimming in the pool and hot tub, along with tubing and more! Family is everything! Come
It was a joy to have your cousins stay with us for your cousins reunion! We enjoyed meeting them and having them enjoy being here in SC! Hope to see them again!
My family stayed at the cottage for a long weekend celebrating a college graduation. Parents, grandparent and friends relaxed and enjoyed the beautiful scenery, while the kids had a blast with all of the water amenities, even in the rain! The cottage had everything we needed, and Debra and Jeff could not have been more pleasant or accommodating!

It was such a pleasure to have you stay withh us for a return visit. We enjoyed getting to know your daughters, and are grateful for the special time they spent with our granddaughter who was also visiting. Happy Memories to treasure! We also enjoyed taking you to see the purple martins on the pontoon as well as taking your family tubing. To top it off you left the cottage immaculate! Thank you so much for your kindness shown to us! We look forward to seeing you again and again!
It was a pleasure to have you visit our cottage here on Lake Murray in SC. We're glad you got out kayaking and canoeing and look forward to seeing you again next year!
We have visited this cottage many times, it is always clean, comfortable, well stocked, and what a view! We brought our kids and grandkids this time and everyone had a great time:) D & D are the most accommodating hosts and nicest people, they have thought of everything! Thank you for sharing all the great amenities from Island Trail- I think we used them all- dock, boat ramp, pool, hot tub, kayaks, canoes, paddleboards, water trampoline and the pontoon trip! Thanks for everything D & D...till next time!

We're glad you could stay with us here on the lake and especially that you enjoyed a pretty sunset! We look forward to your family members coming mid-May and hope they will have a very memorable time here enjoying the pool, hot tub, watercraft, horseshoes, shuffleboard, lake and more!
So relaxing with an amazing sunset. The cottage is well laid out with great views from the primary bedroom and living room. Even though it rained, we had great quality family time! We played board games and took in awesome views from the deck. We fished from the dock. Most relaxing weekend. Can’t wait to go back!

Thanks for letting me know the send button got pushed before you could complete your review. Your were a lovely couple and we enjoyed seeing you relax on our property and try out the various watercraft. We really look forward to you returning to our lake property next September!
My family of 4 adults stayed in the Sunset Cottage and it was beyond our expectations.
Our space was cozy, complete with a comfortable covered porch overlooking the lake. This part of the lake is especially quiet and peaceful.
We had everything we needed and then some.
Our stay included access to the inground pool and hot tub, in addition to lake access with kayaks and paddle boards.
We arranged for a pontoon boat ride our last evening there. The sunset cruise was a perfect ending to a great long weekend.
Highly recommend!

We thoroughly enjoyed your family's visit with us here at Lake Murray! We're happy you were able to enjoy a nice family celebration while you were here.
We're also glad you were able to enjoy many of the amenities we have to offer. It was a pleasure to give you a boat ride and show you around our beautiful lake on your last evening. We certainly look forward to you visiting us again!
The Island Trails Cottage is super comfortable with so many "above and beyond" comforts of home added for guests both inside and outside. Literally, just bring your clothes. Hosts, Debra and Dennis could not be any nicer nor more accommodating. The property is immaculate and location perfect for our need of reconnecting with friends in the area. We were very appreciative of a private launch ramp, a safe place to dock our boat overnight and ideal spot for the trailer. We would not hesitate to stay again.

Thank you so much for your kind words in your review! We enjoyed having you as guests here on the Lake! We're glad you had an enjoyable time visiting friends in the area and that our boat ramp and dock worked well for your boating experience. We look forward to hosting you again when you come for another visit to Lake Murray!
This cottage is ideal for a couple with small children. The hosts are gracious and go out of their way to please. The view of the lake from the cottage is worth the rent but the cottage itself is immaculate and full of pricey furnishings and upgrades. I have never stayed at a rental where the landlords had more regard for their guests. A solid 10 out of 10 rating.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We really enjoyed meeting you and your wife as well as your extended family! We're happy you enjoyed our wonderful lake environment and hope you will decide to stay with us again!
We love Lake Murray and have been there several times. While we always have a great trip, this Sunset Cottage was the best! The pictures do not do it justice, it had everything we were looking for and more. It was extremely clean, comfortable and offered so many unexpected extras, it was the perfect week away. Thank you so much Debra and Dennis for sharing your beautiful property and for being you- your genuine thoughtfulness really made our trip the best yet:) We will be back, after this visit I can't imagine staying anywhere else. Take care, thanks again and see you soon!

Thank you so much for your very kind words! It was such a pleasure having you and your husband here for a week. It was wonderful that you were able to bring your boat and really enjoy our beautiful lake. We're glad that you were able to experience seeing the Purple Martins on Bomb Island as well. We certainly look forward to your return!
Thank you so much, Debra & Dennis, for the fantastic three days! Clean, WELL-STOCKED COTTAGE, lakefront to a well-stocked lake, POOL, pickleball, ping-pong, basketball, campsite, paddle kayaks, everything imaginable, and then some. My grandsons,17 & 22 yrs old, had such a great time! They far preferred this over going to the beach, and I never thought I'd hear that!! LIFETIME MEMORIES are right in their own backyards.

We are so happy that your family enjoyed their experience on the lake at Island's Sunset Cottage! It was a pleasure to meet your wife, daughter, and grandsons! We loved seeing your grandsons have so much fun with all the activities, while you, your wife, and daughter spent time relaxing in the pool and on the grounds. We certainly look forward to your return visit!
Debra and Dennis were the most welcoming hosts. They have a beautiful property on Lake Murray with the several VRBO options. We stayed in their 2 bedroom cottage. We loved that it was right on lake Murray with a trampoline in the lake, and many different boat options. They also make their pool available to their VRBO guests.
We had privacy to explore, yet they made themselves available when needed.
Debra and Dennis have thought of everything a guest could need.
I highly recommend this lake front property. Our family with a 2 year old and 12 year old enjoyed ourselves immensely. Thank you Debra and Dennis. You made our first VRBO stay very memorable and one we look forward to repeating. A 5 star stay!!
