Peaceful and Breathtaking views!

We were visiting Augusta to celebrate our granddaughter getting married. We arrived after dark. The next morning I awoke before sunrise... walked out on to the deck with coffee to an amazing picturesque view over the Savannah River! The description and reality were SPOT ON! The space was open and relaxing! When Augusta calls again, we will go right back to this home!

Perfect Location

This was the perfect place to stay to attend the Masters, or to simply enjoy the outdoors along the water. We spent a lot of time at the firepit looking out over the water, and watching some Masters coverage on the comfy couch in the living room. Great communication from the property manager. Would definitely stay here again!

Beaitiful view but house needs improvements

Some of home was updated in the 90’s, all of the furniture is old and a hodgepodge of dining tables. Decking is rotten in many areas. Very strict and controlling of air conditioning temperatures. All preset and locked to 75-79 degrees. Very hot and stuffy. Pool is old and has temperature issues. It was 95 degrees everyday. The owner knows about it but doesn’t address it. We know that by reading the complaints left at the home in the journal. We were told to turn on a sprinkle near the pool.

Not up to par

House and grounds were beautiful…. Outside of that the grill almost caught the house on fire because the grease trap was caked, there were cockroaches in the house, a previous tenant had burned some sort of plastic in the oven and when we turned it on it filled the house. When talking with the listing agent some of the pricing for the downstairs additional space was not what was listed on VRBO. We eventually agreed upon the listed price but after several texts and a phone call and me having to zelle the money over for it. I spent the first about hour I was there trying to get the internet fixed. Not to mention she charged me for a party saying I had more then the allocated guests but I had now rented the additional downstairs space and was never allocated additional persons now that I had more beds. I was also charged $1500 for a chair that broke the FIRST time anyone sat in it and a toilet tank that I’m pretty sure we had nothing to do with it being broken. I’ve rented many houses with this exact group of guys and we have never ever had any of these issues. I would say that she means well and wouldn’t say don’t rent the place but just understand what your getting into it. I had a feeling it would come to this honestly with our initial discussions about the basement additional space and I wasn’t wrong. It was a beautiful place I just think I was taken advantage of financially.

Charging to lower the A/C is a new low for humanity...

The house looks great the property looks great but the fees are insane so be sure to read everything. First you can't check in till four so you lose the first day. No problem I got there at 3:53 and the maid and landscaper were still doing their thing. No problem lets go see what's nearby. Nothing. There is one convenience store with The cashier sitting behind 8 inches of bullet proof glass so we immediately knew we were in the good part of town. There's nothing to walk to and the closest grocery store is about 10 minutes away. The house itself though is very isolated and I never felt like we were in a bad area until we left to go to the convenient store. We came back at about 453 after and the maid and landscaper were still there surprisingly. At this point I called KJ who told me to call her when we got there to go over responsibilities I would have while at the property. Totally Understandable. She told me that the following day the pool guy would be by to clean the pool and the pest guy would be by to do some work. Ok, I want a clean pool and no bugs but why wasn't this done before we got there? No problem. I was then on the phone with her for a good 45 minutes going over everything that had to be done like removing the sump pump on the pool and removing the pool cover and a bunch of other things. Ok no problem.. the maid was done an hour after we arrived. my wife informs me that one of the bedrooms is 85° I told KJ that there was obviously a problem because the rest of the house seem Ed like the air conditioning was working fine. At this point I almost blacked out because I wasn't expecting to hear what I heard. KJ said she would lower the air conditioner to 75 to see if it would get cooler. Lower to 75?!? At this point I almost passed out. She then explained she controlled the ac through wifi and if we wanted it lower we could pay a fee... A fee for air conditioning?! In Georgia in August. I already paid a water fee, wifi fee, electricity, $350 cleaning fee and $250 service fee. The mortgage. Well The air conditioning in that room still didn't work and none of us could sleep in that room the first night. She did get him there the next day and it got fixed. Never offered to make it right, just treated me like her house sitter. I own a small business and couldn't imagine my customers having to sleep on the couch because they had no ac for the night . And then charging to lower it?! I'm done with Vrbo Fees are insane.

Holiday Week

We loved the property. It had plenty of space for our family of four and a family member or two that stayed over a night or two. The fireplace was great and the wood supplied was great! The fire pit outside was fantastic and the views on the river with all of the windows in the house are really out of this world! Kayaks available for a group of people are super and can only imagine how much fun the pool would be in the summer time! KJ was a great host and cares about the people who rent from her! All of the little utensils and small stuff right down to coffee filters and spices were there to make your vacation as enjoyable as can be away from your home.

My family wanted to enjoy a last minute vacation before the start of the new school year. We decided on a lake house because we enjoy boating and fishing . KJ’s place had all the amenities to enhance our stay. We enjoyed kayaks, fishing, canoeing and swimming in her amazing Olympic size pool. kJ was a great hostess who supported our visit from beginning to end . We truly had a perfect getaway.

Relaxing

This is an incredible house!!! The owner KJ was so sweet and helpful. My favorite part was drinking my morning coffee on the deck with the binoculars watching the turtles and birds, then going for a dip in the lush pool when it would get too hot. ( maybe suggest an awning to keep the deck cooler). We pretty much stayed in the pool. Hubby enjoyed the kayaks and fishing from the dock. The beds were comfy and the 2 person shower was fabulous!!! Lots of great local restaurants, Fog and Hen, Frog hollow tavern, and Boll Weevil were our favorites. The river walk was nice great and when it got too hot we came back to house to enjoy the pool. Thanks again for such a great relaxing vacation!! My only regret is we should have booked more days 😊

Lack of Communication

The house was fine, kitchen stocked well and generally everything in clean, lightly worn, order. The living room couch could definitely be replaced due to the peeling pleather. The problem really started before arrival when the owner frequently communicated their expectations for my upkeep of the place. Not a very welcoming environment to relax in as there were meticulous processes outlined of what you can or cannot do. I even shared that this was more effort than expected for a quick getaway but was assured I would be fine….the real problem came upon arrival to find the main reason I chose the house - the pool- was not working. The owner had so frequently communicated when it was in her best interest but when it came to informing me that I wouldn’t have access to the most important part of the trip, they failed to give me any options. It was on us to understand what was happening and how the issue would be resolved. The owner did not even offer a credit, I had to request it. Eventually they did provide a very small credit back that did not compare to similar rental prices (without pool). My disappointment with this home had to do with the owner only caring about her best interest - my money- and not my experience. I would not go back simply for the fact I can’t trust the owner to care for my stay. I spent a lot of money and I expected to get what I paid for. It didn’t come close and caused me more stress than I came with.

40th Birthday Getaway

Wow, wow, wow!! KJ’s river house was every bit as described in the listing and more!! The house, pool and yard are literally a stones throw from the river. We loved the open deck overlooking the river, it was so peaceful to sit there and enjoy a fire in the evening. The house was immaculate and well stocked and furnished. We loved the open floor plan and especially the sunroom and deck overlooking the river. KJ gave us permission to bring a boat and jet ski, which we had great fun riding up and down the river, fishing and hanging out at the nearby sand bar. Also very convenient location near downtown Augusta and our favorite restaurants!! We enjoyed it so much we weren’t ready to leave and booked an extra night!! We can’t wait for our next visit!!

Beautiful home with an even better owner

This is the 2nd time my wife and I have vacationed here. And to be honest, if we ever get an opportunity to travel the two of us again, this is where we will be looking first. It truly has everything you could ask for, privacy, a wonderful pool that always seem to be the perfect temperature, beautiful inside, and a ton of other things to do, like Kayaks, and cornhole boards, not to mention the golf tee. The views are even more impressive. It is nice to be able to look out any window and see the river. The sunrises and sunsets are a site to see. The photos don't do the place justice, it is even better in person. KJ does a wonderful job communicating things to you, as well as answering any questions quickly. She makes checking in and checking out simple, and she gives great details in her instruction to help make sure everything goes smoothly the whole trip. We were sad to leave, and it really seemed like it flew by. We honestly barely even left the house and the pool the whole week.

Wonderful Getaway!

We were so excited to have booked this property for a family getaway. Upon first seeing the house and property we were amazed at how beautiful it was. Everything was just like the pictures. The house itself was beyond what we expected and the view was absolutely breathtaking! This was everything our family was wanting. We went kayaking with the owners kayaks, fished, swam in the huge pool, and even made s’mores at night at the fire pit. The host leaves a basket of golf balls, but my son and husband had so much fun trying to hit the balls to the other side of the river..we had to get another bucket. The host mentions that there may be one woman staying in the downstairs part of the house however we never saw her or even heard any noise from below the entire time we were there. Contact with the host was excellent. It was the perfect weekend..Thank you!!! We will be back!

Why they chose this property

One of the major benefits of our location is its connection to the legendary **James Brown**, the "Godfather of Soul," whose iconic hit **“I Feel Good”** embodies the spirit of the River House neighborhood. Just minutes from downtown Augusta, this area is steeped in James Brown's history, as he grew up here during the Great Depression and World War II, overcoming poverty to become an international music icon.

Downtown Augusta is rich in **historical and architectural gems**. Noteworthy sites include the **1897 Sacred Heart Cultural Center**. The **Gertrude Herbert Institute of Art**, built in 1818. Additionally, the **Old Medical College Building**, built in 1835, is one of the leading medical schools in the South.
