About this property

"Off The Mainland" Lake front home with private dock & optional pontoon rental

Check out this fully renovated beauty with amazing views! The home is located on a peninsula! When you arrive by driving over the land bridge, the euphoria of a memorable vacation about to begin will overwhelm you! And yes, we do allow you pups (max 2) with a one time pet fee.

"Off The Mainland" is the best way to describe this true waterfront vacation getaway on beautiful Lake Murray. Swim or fish from your private dock, then kick your feet up on the picturesque deck among a beautiful landscape with amazing lake views.

Start your mornings with a cup off coffee (k cup or pot) from a dining room with a charming wood table large enough for everyone and a perfect view or on the new second floor balcony, or on the downstairs covered patio, or the open deck! Then hit the lake enjoying paddle boarding, kayaking, swimming, fishing and lounging, or you can choose to include a private pontoon boat delivered to your dock!

Enjoy the outdoor grilling area near the private covered boat ramp, then grab your favorite beverage and light a fire in a stone pit close to the waters edge. Or, hit the living room or bonus/game room and enjoy smart TV's, a good book at the recliner positioned with an incredible lake view (warning, the view will distract you from your book!) or the indoor fireplace with a remote control. The updated kitchen is well equipped and ready for the chef in your group. We've even added a fosse ball table and a stand up arcade for all to enjoy! There's even a bar seat card table. Have an electric car? No problem! We have added a EV charger!

When its time to turn in, you can choose from the 3 bedrooms, one boasting a queen bed and the other has a bunk bed with a queen and twin mattress. The master suite boasts a king size bed with amazing lake views and a large private bathroom. The Bonus/game room room has a full bed and a full sleeper sofa with a private half bath. This home will have you waking to views that will make you think you are still dreaming.

During your stay at 'Off The Mainland", you are sure to experience exactly what you were looking for when planning your perfect lake life getaway!

About the host

Hosted by Bomb Island Vacation Rentals, LLC

Host profile image
Bomb Island Vacation Rentals, LLC, is a small family owned company with a passion to help others enjoy the lake we call home. We offer a no pressure experience and a vast amount of local knowledge to help you create memories to last a lifetime. From recommending a restaurant for a special event, to distances to USC, Ft. Jackson and the River Banks Zoo, to adding a boat rental delivered to your dock that you can use dawn to dusk- we have you covered! We also now allow up to 2 dogs per stay with a 1 time pet fee- not per dog. This pet fee allows us to cover minor incidentals that may occur as a result of the pet(s) visiting, and compensate our cleaning team for additional time spent removing pet hair, dander, etc.... Sorry, only dogs allowed- no cats. Lastly, if you are bringing or even adding a pet last minute, let us know and we will work with you! Unfortunately due to the amount of time it takes to collect unpaid pet fees, anyone found to have brought in a pet without the fee being paid will have to incur additional processing expenses that will make the pet fee $400.00 instead of the original $150.00.

Why they chose this property

If the descriptions and pictures aren't enough, let's talk location! You feel like your out in the country at this amazing home, but really your 5 minutes from restaurants, bars, shopping, gas, grocery stores, and the small town southern charm of Chapin. Just 35 minutes to Columbia and USC, and less than10 minutes off the highway, this home has it all.
If that's not enough, lets talk wildlife! It's located about 20 minutes by boat from famous Bomb Island where you can watch Purple Martins roost by the thousands in the summer, or watch a Heron or Egret grab dinner near the shore, or a Hawk or Bald Eagle glide over the water! Yes, we said a Bald Eagle! Feel free to google Purple Martins of Lake Murray- you'll be shocked.

What makes this property unique

When driving to the home, you will cross a land bridge- literally the lake IS the shoulder on both sides of the road! Straight ahead you will see this amazing up to date incredible vacation paradise with a private dock, fire pit on the water, deck on the water, balcony on the water, grilling area on the water! Even your car will share in your amazing lake front view during your stay! There is also a small private beach area, you guessed it, on the water! We also have a private covered boat launch in the driveway if you want to bring your own water toys. The home includes floats, extra chairs, and games like cornhole that you can put in the yard, you guessed it, near the water!
