About this property

Family House on Lake Murray. 6 bedroom 6 1/2 bath house with big water view.

Family House on Lake Murray is located on Sunset Point. Sip a cool beverage or a hot toddy depending on when you visit while enjoying the swing on the back veranda. The family home provides an open floor plan that includes family, dining & kitchen space with 22' ceilings, fireplace and expansive views of the lake. The back porch spanning the full length of the house provides tons of outdoor living space. 5 bedrooms have king size beds and private bath and the 6th bedroom has 4 built in bunk beds and its own private bathroom. Outstanding views of the lake from the open great room and Master bedroom as well as 3 bedrooms on the second floor. Outdoor fire pit is perfect for chilly nights. Home is on cul-de-sac street and off a dead end street so it’s very quiet and private. The house is 1 mile from the entrance to Timberlake Country Club. It's perfect for large families or couples who require private bathroom space.

Cozy home for family bonding!

The home was well equipped with everything we needed and more to spend quality time gathering with family - both inside and outside the home in the spacious backyard and patio areas. Thank you to the Nykamp family for not just opening their home, but ensuring all amenities were well stocked so we didn’t have to worry about anything beyond our basic needs and enjoying each other. I also appreciate their responsiveness when contacted about anything regarding the home.

Wedding in Columbia/family weekend

Lovely home. It's great for larger groups or several family members together because each bedroom is en suite (even the bunk room). There were only 7 of us, but the house can accommodate more people

Family Vacation

Our family is spread among 3 states so we picked this location for a family vacation. The property was outstanding. It was clean, well appointed and very comfortable. The location on Lake Murray was a perfect setting for our vacation. The owner was very responsive to any of our inquiries and we will be going back again soon

Better Than the Photos

This beautiful home was everything we needed for our Thanksgiving family gathering. Every bedroom has an en suite bath, kitchen is fully stocked with equipment, utensils, etc. (I always bring a couple of favorite pans to rentals, but never needed them.)The lake view is better than the photos, as the lot faces the widest part of Lake Murray. Large back yard for kids and a large dock (bring a light tackle rod and a couple of lures). Tom, the host, is THE BEST. This VRBO gets an A+++

Lovely home

Our stay was wonderful until Hurricane Helene decided to pay us a visit. The home is beautiful and the lake is gorgeous. Power was lost and we had to leave early. The owner stayed in contact with us and was incredibly gracious and was concerned for all of us. I would definitely return for another visit.

Amazing House!

This house was amazing! The house is gorgeous with a spacious layout and so well equipped for a large group to comfortably stay there together. Linens are lovely, kitchen offerings were plentiful with every appliance and great functional space for large groups to cook and clean together. The lake view is perfect from every room in the back of the house too, with so much comfortable outside seating. Our visit was just too short but we will definitely be back again! Tom made check in and check out a breeze and he answered many questions ahead of time in a super timely manner. We loved every minute there!

A new tradition!

We had the most amazing week staying here! There is nothing we would change - and will definitely be back! By far the best rental we have ever stayed in: Clean, well-stocked and very spacious. It had everything we could need. Everyone had plenty of space to themselves and also plenty of room to gather comfortably. Sunsets and stars were amazing! Thank you Tom & Angie!!

Blown away!

This was hands down the best vacation home my family and I have ever stayed in! Excellent communication with the host who is incredibly nice! When you walk in you feel like you’re in a family/friends house rather than a sterile rental house. There isn’t a bad view from any room. Anything you could think of is in the house from extra blankets, to pillows, to games and movies. So much love and thought was poured into this house, loved the personalized coasters and cups! There was plenty of space for my family to gather together and plenty of space to be alone as well. We had a day or two of rain but we were still able to spend time outside on the huge back porch. The swing was most popular. We enjoyed our time so much we’ve already started planning our return trip!

One Of The Best Places To Stay in Chapin!

We have stayed at this property twice already, and what keeps us coming back is the hospitality, the ease of reservation, the beautiful location, and most of all, the hosts. The are mindful of you from start to finish, easy to communicate with, the house is beautiful and always in great condition, welcoming, and it honestly can't be beat!/ If you are able to snag this property, don't think twice. You will not regret it!
