Cute house and a great location

Super cute house, great location, accommodating host! We stayed at this property due to my daughter having a weekend full of plays at her school and not wanting to travel across town numerous times all weekend. Check in was seamless, the house was clean with all necessities, and you could not ask for a better location. We will definitely stay again if the need arises!

A Super clean and cute Bungalow house. The owner, Ryan was super nice and sent great messages with directions, places to eat around there and provided great suggestions. This house is literally 8 minutes from Fort Jackson base (gate 2) and it was less than 2 miles away. It was in a great neighbor and seemed very safe. There is a Publix and Walmart less than 5 minutes away if your soldier needs “pub subs”! There were 3 bedrooms, each with a tv in them and each had a luggage stand to put our suitcases on. They also seemed to have a really stocked kitchen too. This place was perfect for my family. Thank you Ryan for offering such a clean and awesome place for the soldiers families! God bless!

Adorable home!!

We were in town for a baby shower so we decided to go this route instead of a hotel! We are so glad we did! The house was just as listed and so convenient to everything. Communication and check in was great! The only thing I missed was having a tv to watch in bed….but that is a preference not necessity haha! I feel sure when we go back to Columbia we will be checking the availability to stay again!

Perfect location for our family to stay for my son’s graduation from Basic Training at Fort Jackson. Close to the gates for the base, food nearby, bagel place on the corner just down the street. Grocery stores and places to eat within walking distance. No complaints at all. Check in process was very easy, place was clean and everything looked as it is pictured. Love all of it!

Perfect

We came down to Columbia for our daughter’s family day and BCT graduation. This lovely home was only 5 mins from base! A straight shot to gate 2 which made amazing easy access for both ceremonies and then to return her after the off base pass. The host made it extremely easy to check in and was so reasonable to work with if things changed! We couldn’t have asked fore a more perfect place, location, and host for our stay. Thank you for making our trip even more special to us.

Lovely house, very clean, great location

Very nice little house, perfect for our family of 6. Great location near Ft. Jackson for military families. The place was perfectly clean and tidy. Beds and pillows very comfortable. Only minor complaint was the bright lights outside the front bedroom made it hard to sleep (for us country folks unused to it). Could use a few more homey touches such as pictures on the walls. Could use a few more kitchen items, especially towels Some plates were chipped. Otherwise it was an excellent rental. Thanks so much!
