Really liked the property. Very close to all the locations we wanted to visit. Really liked the screened in porch to sit and have my morning coffee. Highly recommend.
Wendy’s home was lovely. It was easily accessible, exceptionally clean (I owned a cleaning business for many years), comfortable, and well appointed. Everything that you could require was thoughtfully provided. It was close to grocery, gas, and multiple eateries. My family was there for our son’s military graduation and he was able to spend several, much needed, hours relaxing with us in her home. I would highly recommend Wendy’s home as a perfect place to stay. You will not be disappointed!Thank you so much for an enjoyable stay!

Awesome house!
The house was wonderful! Very well appointed, we really appreciated that there was coffee pods for the Keurig. The location was very convenient, easy to get anywhere in or around Columbia.
The property was absolutely perfect. Central to where we needed to be, clean, comfortable and so quaint and well equipped. Wendy was quick to respond if we needed anything. Would definitely return if we come to Columbia in the future.
This house was adorable! Beautifully renovated, super clean, and very close to the University. It was the perfect place to stay checking out the school with my daughter.

Perfect house and location
The house is very well kept up and clean. Plenty of seating to sit and visit in the living room. Outdoor screened in room along with huge backyard patio with seating makes this a rare find.
We had a great time. Beds were comfortable, house was clean, and location was close to things. We traveled with our 3 year old and felt safe in the neighborhood. Host was also very responsive.
Kitchen was fully stocked. The house was beautiful and so cozy. Clean. Had everything we needed during our stay. So close to everything. We loved it. I will 100% stay here again next time I come!
House was excellent in all regards. Ideal location to UofSC campus and all restaurants. Perfect size for 4 people or less. Would rent again without question.
Had a fantastic weekend visiting my niece. Location centralized for all parts of the city and campus. Neighborhood quiet and house was just as advertised
The house was prefect! Wish the weather would have been nicer so we could’ve enjoyed the yard but we made the best of things - it was nice to be close to so many amenities and we had a great time exploring Five Points and Devine St. 10/10 would book again. Thank you!
