Brand new house located in the heart of Downtown Columbia. My adult sons and I made it our home base for a round at The Masters combined with golf and dinners in Columbia. Owner goes out of his way to communicate and make your trip a great one. Highly recommend!!!

Best VBRO we have stayed in Columbia

We are on our third kid going through college and every year we visit them and use VBRO. We have had many rentals. This house is perfect for a family and friends.It’s brand new, well appointed, all bedrooms are equal. Kitchen is prefect, we didn’t cook but had dinners brought in. Location is also perfect for all USC events.

Great house in a great location

Keith’s house was perfect for our Gamecock football weekend. There was plenty of space for every person/couple to have their own bedroom and the living room/kitchen was big enough for us all to hang out. The location was also perfect and we took multiple short walks to campus and Five Points.

Football game weekend

Group of 10 Carolina alums coming into town for a football game and needed somewhere that accommodated us all and was a safe location. We loved this place! Plenty of space, great neighborhood, clean, updated and clear instructions. Keith was very responsive with any questions we had. Already want to book again!
