This is literally right on the water, as close as you can get without falling in! The property itself was very clean and comms with the host were great. They even let me in before check-in since my flight was early. That being said, the property is just... odd. It is essentially a finished gazebo / boathouse, so there are no "rooms" in the traditional sense (other than the bathrooms of course). You park off the main house driveway, and then walk through the backyard of the main house to get to the gazebo property. Again, not bad, just odd feeling like you're walking through someone's backyard to get to your rental. I did appreciate the large amounts of sheets and clean linens provided. Quiet and relaxing.

Thank you for your review. You are correct, our Gazebo Cottage is unique. In fact, we use the words “One-of-a-Kind” in our VRBO promotion. The cottage is positioned at the water’s edge. With unobstructed views of both sunrise and sunset. Both, the ground-level porch and upstairs deck face beautiful Lake Murray. The open floor plan concept with Florida Room make this cottage unique. Truly, One-of-a-Kind.

Stunning Stay

The property and scenery was beautiful. The Rizzo's were amazing and extremely accommodating. I was nervous about being so close to the owners. Main property but was an absolutely amazing stay that I highly recommend and I cannot wait to return.

Weekend Girls Trip

My friends and I had an absolute blast at this cottage! The view was one of our favorite things about it. We specifically enjoyed walking around the neighborhood, swimming along the pier and kayaking. Very safe and fun place for a vacation. The owners were very responsive and very kind. We would recommend it to anyone looking to go to Lake Murray! 10/10 stay!

Had an amazing time staying at this home for the weekend. Host was extremely accommodating and had the place fully stocked with all needed amenities. Views were unbelievable, and as typical the pictures do not do it near justice. We will definitely be coming back.

A unique gazebo cottage located behind owner’s home with spectacular views surrounded by water. Perfect for a long weekend. Plenty of seating and sleeping options. Very cool that you have access to your own dock. 2 full bathrooms with excellent water pressure. Lots of towels and linens provided. Highly recommend!

Awesome Experience!!

Our stay was truly the most relaxing time we’ve had in a long while. The accommodations were exceptional and the host went above and beyond for us. It was my fiancés birthday weekend and they threw in happy birthday balloons for no additional charge. Kept us stocked with fire wood. They even alllowed us to stay a bit longer on check out day for last minute fishing! I would definitely love to stay again and again. Also, the property is just stunningly beautiful! Thanks so much to the Rizzo’s!! Hope to see you both again!
