Waterfront vacation rentals in Upstate South Carolina

I’m late leaving this review but we had a wonderful stay. The place looks brand new, sparkling clean, beautifully designed, and extremely comfortable. Craig and Janet couldn’t have been more friendly. We ran into Craig a few times around the property and had a really great time talking to him. We brought the boat and spent most of our days on the water. From a boating perspective, the dock is at the back of a quiet deep water cove. No worries whatsoever about water level or any kind of wake roughness, and it’s right around the corner from 18 mile creek access so drop in and take out is a breeze. It was a perfect place to retreat back to after a long day on the water. We can’t wait to come back and stay with Janet and Craig again!

I have stayed in Carolyn's units several times. She is a fantastic host and very responsive. The apartment had everything we needed for a week's stay. There are snacks too! We were at a conference with people dropping in for lunch so I particularly appreciated the extra table and chairs. I slept on the bed and sofa and both were comfortable. The lake view and access to the walking trail are perfect. The close proximity to Stuart Auditorium was a must for me. I highly recommend Carolyn's units and am already booked for next year.

Location, location, location! Everything is within walking distance. We loved leaving our car and just walking out the door. It's right above a restaurant so the parking lot does get crowded, but you do have a designated parking spot. We enjoyed sitting on the deck watching the tubers in the river. At night all the buildings are lit up and the view is great. The rental itself was perfect for what we needed. The listing doesn't mention it, but it does have a hairdryer and washer/dryer inside. Huge comfy bed. Overall a great stay!

Beautiful location! The host is definitely a nature person with beautiful plants and chickens. The place was both invigorating and tranquil. Definitely recommend!!

Our family LOVED staying at Deborah's Apartment in Anderson. Our boys had a GREAT time fishing. The community was very peaceful and everyone we met was very welcoming. The apartment was clean, adorable and had everything we needed for our stay in Anderson. The view was also AMAZING! We would definitely visit again.

Beautiful location with a wonderful host! Absolute tranquility that permeates the soul

We really enjoyed our stay at Lakefront Serenity. The view was beautiful, house cozy, and loved the friendly cats! ❤️ We felt right at home and had everything we needed. The pedal boat was fun, too.

This property really surprised us! It was much nicer than we could have imagined. The price was amazing. The location was perfect. Everything about it was just wonderful.

Was a beautiful home, and we would happily stay again. We arrived right after storms had passed through and had no power for for first few hours. Hosts were very accommodating in making sure house still got cleaned and ready even without power. They offered to refund our first night if wanted to delay coming, and were keeping me posted almost hourly of updates. Was no fault of theirs, just Mother Nature. Loved the kayaks and all the board and card games. The deck and views are worth the whole place. Even provided s’mores supplies to make. Also the beds were extremely comfortable! Could not have asked for a better get away. Would love to return!

Absolutely perfect. We stayed for the week with our five kids (6,4,3, & 1 year old twins) and had an amazing family vacation. The space worked perfectly for our needs as a large family with small kids and the beach area was especially perfect for toddler playtime. The waterfall across the way was stunning and we loved boating around, fishing, swimming, fires by the lake, and rainy evenings in the hot tub. Such an amazing place for families!

Absolutely! Here's the updated, fuller version of your Airbnb review: --- We had a wonderful stay at this charming lake house in Martin, GA! The setting was peaceful and beautiful—perfect for a relaxing family getaway. The layout of the home is ideal for families, with plenty of space to spread out and enjoy time together. Our kids had a blast playing all the games provided and especially loved the mini putt-putt course! The hot tub was a relaxing treat in the evenings, and the gourmet kitchen was impressively well-equipped—it made cooking meals a breeze. The home was clean, thoughtfully decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. We especially enjoyed the quiet mornings on the deck overlooking the lake. The only small downside was the mattress—it was quite soft and felt a bit like sleeping in a crater, which made it harder to fully relax and recharge at night. With a more supportive mattress, this place would be just about perfect! Really enjoyed it!

The house is beautiful, spacious, and relaxing, with an amazing view of the lake and surrounding wildlife. Spotting bald eagles, blue herons, and hawks was a special treat.

The bungalow has lovely character and charm. The air conditioning and fans worked great and the king bed that we stayed in was very comfortable.

We love staying at the Extra House. This was our third or fourth time staying here. This time we desperately needed a recharge of our body, mind and soul. Words and pictures can't come close to describing what a special place this is. We had a mixed age group...11 to 74...all loved it. It has something for everybody. If you need peace, come to the Extra House. Robin is the best host. He is friendy and kind. He goes out of his way to make sure you feel at home.

Debbie was an excellent host! The house was just as described and the most organized we have ever rented. She was very responsive. The extras included for use in the lake made this a real value. The beds were comfortable and the decorations were darling! We are hoping to return in the future

I simply cannot say enough good about this property and home. The BEST! It was beautifully decorated and the attention to detail was unbelievable. They thought of everything you could possibly need and then some! The land itself is gorgeous, we loved the pond for fishing and the bonfire and hot tub. It was peaceful, relaxing, and comfortable! Highly, highly recommend to anyone! We will definitely be back the next time we are in the area! 10/10 in all categories!

We absolutely loved our stay! The place is privately located but within walking distance of downtown Gatlinburg. Every night my 2 year old wanted to go down to the river and play! :) We will totally be staying here again!

It was a great peaceful Escape for the weekend. The hosts were very communicative and the place was very clean.

This is the second time we have stayed with Ed and we absolutely love staying here. Clean and roomy condo. Close to the strip and grocery store and many restaurants. Great condo with a beautiful view! Will stay again.

Fran’s place was the perfect place for the family to stay for my son’s graduation. Very close to campus but away from the crowds. Fran’s place was clean and comfortable. The sheets and towels felt high end. I would recommend this place 100% and hope to be back! Fran was very proactive and made sure I had everything I needed for a smooth check in and check out.

Darlene was a great host and the house was excellent. we We enjoyed the views and privacy. the pontoon boat sunset cruise was enjoyable and the activities were good. we were disappointed in the meal at the lodge and lack of walking paths around the reserve. the narrow winding roads made the impossible to walk.

Absolutely loved our stay! The place was better than the photos and had so many cozy areas I didn’t want to leave the house. The house was very clean and the beds slept great. Walkable to places around, including tubing next door, and basically right in the heart of Helen. Loved our stay and will be back!

Beautiful home that fit our family’s needs perfectly.

We absolutely loved our stay here! We came with our 4 year old and our teenager. Both of them had a great time and had plenty of things to do that they both enjoyed, which is not usually the case with their age gap. The place itself had lots of toys and books for my toddler and her own bed. There were also games to play with my teenager as well. The kitchen was fully stocked and the house had all the little details like beach towels, an airfryer, and a picnic basket. The screened porch was a favorite location for all us to enjoy. We even saw a bear one day from the porch! The resort was a blas!. We utilized both in the indoor and outdoor pools, the mini golf, and the lake. We had no problem finding good food at the restaurants around us and the store was super close as well. We spent half of our time at the resort and half of it out exploring the nature surrounding us. There were sooo many waterfalls to see. It is such a beautiful area, we will most definitely be coming back!
