We stayed at Lake Murray Paradise while I ran my ultra beast. It was a lovely relaxing place to recover after the race at. We enjoyed how quiet & peaceful it was. Our hosts were wonderful and answered any questions we had during our stay.

This property is fairly priced, clean, and roomy. Communication with the owner was good. This is a 3BR/1BA apartment above the owners house. Everything met our expectations. The owner complained about noise on a Friday night, I would recommend something in the description about “quiet hours” so potential guests know the rules. There is a pool table and a foosball table, lots of fun for a guys trip. It’s about 25 minutes to USC campus and sporting events, fyi.

Beautiful home with great views of the lake. The host was very hospitable and the house has a hot tub, pool table, and foosball. 10 out of 10 on the relaxing stay. Thanks for the hospitality.

Kerry and Randy were very warm, welcoming and helpful. Even the neighbors were great. The unit was very comfortable, beds/linens were comfy soft. We enjoyed our conversations with Kerry and Randy and will be back sometime to see our daughter at USC! It's just 20 minutes from USC! You must see sunset at the damn, beautiful sunset. See you soon.

We really enjoyed our time here as a family of 4! Everything was wonderful: the location, the house, the yard, the lake and last but not least the hosts! :)

Pretty, well-kept and private. Randy (host) very congenial. Evening trip to the purple martin roost rained out twice, but daytime good weather. Lots of fun for our 4yo - with swings and swimming with turtles and foozball.

I never would have thought we’d even consider staying somewhere where the owner lives on the property let alone on the first floor. There was something about this listing that made us go for it and I’m so glad we did! They property is beautiful! A woman after my own heart with her flowers during the day and garden lights during the night. We could not believe there were no bugs, bought a thermacell and never used it. The kayaks were so much fun. Karri and Randy were so nice and we felt like we were staying with family, family that gave us space . We never felt invaded upon. And we got extra perks that wouldn’t have happened had they not been there. Wonderful shore area for the kids to play in the water safely. We did the purple Martin bout tour and I highly recommend it. Being out on a boat was a new experience for my children and they definitely gained some new core memories . This is already in the talks of being next years vacation spot . 10/10

We stayed for 2 nights on our family road trip. Owner was very responsive with all of our inquiries. (They were out of town during our stay.) My kids loved the pool table and foosball table. Apartment had everything we needed and was clean and cozy. Yard and garden were so nice and allowed space for our pup to play. It was great to be right on the water and access to the kayaks and dock. We added on a private boat tour by the owners which left from their own dock. We were taken to see the bird migration and were able to enjoy a swim; the kids loved it! We spent a day in Columbia but wish we had another day at the lake. If we had to pick 1 drawback, it would be location for travelling with our pup. We walk a lot with her normally, and the area wasn't really conducive for nice long walks from the property. Overall, we had a great stay!!

It was a beautiful property. Kerri and Randy are very nice. They have a lot of outdoor seating it’s a little worn, but we spent most our time on the “porch” swing and single swing suspended between two beautiful trees. It was HOT HOT the week we were there and we followed the instructions on keeping the curtains pulled and had no trouble keeping cool. We did not float in the dock area but drove 1/2 mile down the road to the state park beach. We took advantage of the Purple Martin boat ride at sunset. Kerri and Randy joined us in the water to watch them and answered lots of questions. We enjoyed our little get away.

Location was perfect for our short visit to Lake Murray. Hosts were helpful and knowledgeable about Purple Martins and provided great narrative about the area on our sunset/Purple Martin lake tour.

Had a small cook out in yard. About 6 adults in their sixties and three children other than us. Only my husband, myself, and daughter actually stayed here, but was charged an extra fee for the few guests. I made sure that everything was clean and the way I found it. They also charged a fee to clean the hot tub after being used. I would think it should be cleaned in between uses anyway. Couldn't figure out how to use gas grill so I used the charcoal one. I used a bag of charcoal they had there and they charged me triple the price of the bag.

A bit disappointed that no direct view of Lake Murphy from the interior of the apartment and just a tiny view from side deck. Otherwise perfect.

Host lived in first floor unit and rental was above. Somewhat awkward with the owner living below. One example was being told that the TV was too loud when I was watching it. Besides the annoying nitpicking host, it was a pleasant stay.

Very nice place, great location.

One night stay with my husband and a friend to attend an event in town. Convenient location, friendly host, clean property. There was even coffee in the unit for our morning cup of joe with a lake view!

Great place to stay - private and the access to the lake was wonderful. We were able to take out the Kayaks one evening and explore the nearby area by water. Hot tub was clean and in great to soak in. Thanks for the stay!

Spent a long weekend here to attend a wedding and it was the perfect spot. It's a short drive to Lexington and Columbia. Located right on the lake with a large yard that my four year old really enjoyed. The apartment was really comfortable, had everything you could need and was very spacious. Randy and Kerri were also great hosts.

As described, great location. Clean and nicely decorated. Would stay again

We loved this rental! Would definitely recommend it!

This is the perfect place on Lake Murray. Great location, close to everything. The apartment is amazing., clean, comfortable and well thought out. Lots of fun little touch and the hot tub is great.

Kerri was a great host and she was always quick to respond. The house has everything you need both inside & out. Great location for the lake or for getting to town. Excellent stay!

We very much enjoyed staying at this location. The hosts are so nice and we learned some great history about the making of the lake. The house was immaculate and the surroundings very well kept and beautiful. We took our own boat and jet skis and the space there to keep them worked well. We definitely want to return as this was a such fun experience for our family!! Great memories. Thank you Kerri and Randy:)

Property was very nice. Convenient to Riverbanks Zoo.

My family and I had a great time. The house was clean, comfortable, and well stocked. My kids had a great time playing in the water and jumping off the end of the dock. Having kayaks included was really nice - just watch out for the red one, its a bit tipsy! The location is very convenient.

Our family enjoyed all the water activities available both for free and for rent. The owners are super chill and the lakefront yard has many areas to relax. Everything has been thought of for a fun getaway.

This spot on the lake is so pretty. When we stayed we couldn't believe how quiet the lake was. Even though it seems that every house has a boat in front of it we only saw one motorboat out while we used the kayaks provided to paddle around. We also spotted so many fish, too many to count. The property was clean and cool, the beds comfortable, the towels fluffy. The apartment is at the top of the house, I think the owners live below and it is quite spacious.

Everything was so neat and clean and perfect for our weekend trip to the lake. You can rent out jet skis, go for a boat ride, kayak, swim in the lake or just chill out at home with the several amenities provided. Randi and Kerri are extremely hospitable and helpful. The Purple Martin tour was well planned and we all enjoyed it. Randi was available to help for anything required, at the same time giving us the privacy we desired as a family. My kids just loved chatting up with Captain Randi.. Thank you again Randi and Kerri..

Great Host and beautiful property!! Quick response with any questions prior to our stay.

Location is perfect. Walking distance to dam and dam Beach. Close to activities and shopping. Very nice hosts. Clean, organized, and alot of available amenities.

The property is beautiful and well kept. The living space is beautiful and comfortable. It had all the kitchen utensils we needed and was loaded with family entertainment opportunities. We enjoyed a Purple Martin Sunset cruise as well and Kerri and Randy were the perfect tour guides and hosts. The only way the stay could have been better was if we stayed longer.

Great spot to just get away and relax.

The house was very clean. Conveniently located on the lake with shops and restaurants only minutes away.
