Our stay at Captain Jack's Retreat was very relaxing! The home is beautiful and the apartment was just as described, very clean and organized with plenty of space. The hosts have thought of everything you might need for your stay! The pool was lovely and you can't beat the view! We enjoyed the paddle boards, kayaks and floating in the lake. The lake was much nicer than we expected! The home hosts were very warm, welcoming and very accommodating.Just a note that the owners do live in the house, so you may hear a few footsteps upstairs and on occasional the dogs might bark, but it was not bothersome to us. Overall, our experience was a very pleasant one and we have stayed at many short term rentals and would rate this one near the top! If you are looking to experience Lake Murray, then this is a wonderful place to stay!

Our stay was so relaxing in this beautiful setting. The hosts were responsive and went over and above to meet any need we had. The bed was very comfy and the apartment spotless.

Best Vacation ever!

This was the best vacation rental! Everything was top quality and comfortable. The owners were the nicest people and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed for a fun stay. We enjoyed use of kayaks, paddle boards, and a canoe. Both the pool and the lake were wonderful. We were sad to leave this paradise by the lake!

Captain Jack's is the place to go for rest. The comfort of the unit, the beauty of the surroundings, and the relaxation of the water all make for a vacation that is low key and rejuvenating. Mr. Jeff and Miss Elizabeth are authentically kind and sincerely want your stay to the absolute best. They bend over backwards to make sure your needs and request are met and they do it was such graciousness. This property will instantly calm you allowing you to enjoy being away from the stresses of day-to-day life.

Our week at “Captain Jacks Family Retreat” was well spent, with swimming, boating, and much needed R&R! Our hosts, Jeff and Elizabeth, were more than accommodating, on hand for whatever we needed, yet also giving us our space and privacy. The property was very safe and secure and the apartment was chock full of top of the line appliances and amenities. Not only was it immaculate and comfortable, but provided for lively evenings of game playing or TV watching (flat screen TVs in every room!) In addition to the many perks was a fresh homemade loaf of bread, waiting for us upon our arrival. The heated pool and spa was a daily favorite! There was a lovely view of a cove of Lake Murray, calm and peaceful at times, then fun-filled with boaters and water skiers. We were even treated to an incredible trip on their boat to see the daily flight of thousands of Blue Martins, returning to their roosts on a nearby island. Jeff and Elizabeth are the kindest people and their home provided everything vacationers could want, perfect for families with kids or couples wanting a relaxing getaway. We loved every minute of our stay and would definitely return!

From the pool to the lake was the absolute best looking views. The house in general was good. Maybe a bit much furniture in living area to relax and walk around. But the house was great place just a bit noisy from the owners upstairs walking sounded like stomping. But the people where great and their pup was very lovable too. I'd recommend going at least once to check out the lake. Very nice Christian people. ✝️ ;)
