We came for a quick trip to attend a military graduation. It was nice to have our own house to come to at the end of the day. Plenty of space for everyone.

Great Stay in Columbia

We loved this rental. We were in town for the South Carolina football game. The Melrose Heights house is a perfect location. The house was close to everything - campus, stadium, restaurants, and shops. Wendy (home owner) was amazing to work with. She was communicative and sent several follow up messages during our stay. The only downside (to be clear - it did not bother us at all) is there are a lot ambulances and fire truck sirens. We would absolutely rent this house again.

Cozy Historical Home

Our stay was on 2/19-2/20/2025. It is about 15 minutes from Ft. Jackson’s Gate 1. The host was quick to respond to needs and questions.We noticed the bathrooms didn't have any locks and the host was quick to respond by adding door latches by the next morning.The house is cozy and well decorated and maintained. It was hard to get used to the wooden floors….made it hard for sneaking about the house in the middle of the night. LOLThe bedroom fans needed some dusting and one of the bedroom TV’s didn’t have a remote (or we couldn’t figure out how to use the Roku remote to turn on/off the TV). All other TV’s had their own remotes.During our stay, it was in the low 20’s at night….so the heater worked perfectly (being from FL and all).The driveway is a bit steep coming in. We scraped the bottom of our van driving up as it was heavy with our luggage.Overall, a good stay and we recommend it.

Enjoyed our stay but...

I really liked the house. The beds were very comfortable. The master bathroom was great. The kitchen, dining area and living room were also really nice. We did have a problem checking in. The code I was given did not work. I did have someone from the company get me a new code that worked 6 minutes after I texted them. I also didn't like the tree that was dropping acorns all over the deck area.

Location was great for what we needed and for walking the neighborhood with a toddler. The wifi was very spotty. Had a couple issues but the host was quick to respond with solutions.

Great family spot.

We enjoyed our visit. The house provided everything we needed to be a home away from home. unfortunately during our visit there was construction being done to the driveway which made accessing the rear parking area difficult. The adjacent property was also a very liberal based community center which I wish I’d have known about in advance. But overall it was a good experience for its proximity to Fort Jackson. We were able to attend all graduation events with ease and use the home to spend time with our son who was graduating.

Will be staying there again

This location was exactly as listed, pictures were perfect, and actually cuter. The house was so spacious. It gave us everything we needed for an extended weekend. Check-in and checkout was easy. Communication was easy. Unfortunately it was raining so we only got to enjoy the back deck one day. But the front deck was covered and did more than suffice. Washer, dryer, dishwasher. Really... Couldn't have asked for better. We have family in this area and will be staying here again!
