Cute house with all the amenities in a gorgeous location.

Family of 5 adults spent Thanksgiving week visiting our USC daughter. The house had everything I needed to prepare and serve a full Thanksgiving dinner. The views out of every window on Amenity Island are serene and beautiful. The drive to USC campus was about 30 minutes and pretty easy. There was plenty of room for the 5 of us but 2 beds are in a basement bedroom that requires you to walk outside to access the main section of the house which was a bit awkward but fine for our adult kids. John was a wonderful host.

Lake trip with my Dad

Could not have asked for a more wonderful place to enjoy a fall vacation—house and amenities were amazing, wonderful location close to restaurants and needed stores, fantastic location on the lake itself with beautiful views, host John was so nice and helpful. I would definitely want to stay here again!

Awesome Place

The owner makes contact before your stay with all the important information and answers any questions or concerns. The house was very clean and well stocked with cookware it also had outdoor grills. The house has a great view of the lake from the back deck and on the front porch. The neighborhood is very quiet and very little traffic. We all felt like it is a very safe place to stay. This was are second year in a row staying at the house and hopefully it’s not our last.

Location and Property are Topnotch!

In general: The home is very well cared for and well stocked with necessities ++. They have tons of cooking supplies not only for the kitchen but for grilling as well as preparing for large crowds. And the toys for boating and lake swimming are added added bonus as well. The dock is well kept and where we spent most of our time. Bedrooms in the home are large and spacious and the basement suite is perfect if you are vacationing with grown/flown children and their SOs. We went to the basement at night and left them upstairs. For boaters: The dock is perfect for docking your boat and the ramp is solid and long (plenty of ramp in the water to back down in as far as you need). There is some skill needed to back down the driveway to access the dock; but doable. We loved the quick access of having the ramp on property. Can't recommend this property enough!

Perfect island home

Can’t be beat, water front and on a little island!! Home has a great layout, dining and sun room that lead out to a large deck with a grill and outside dining. Really nice downstairs bedroom with full bath, and laundry room. Plenty of lake toys to use along with paddle board, kayaks, floating mat, etc… Dock is great for keeping your boat, there is a boat ramp that can be a little tricky to use or you can put in at the marina just a short drive away and drive your boat to the house. Home overlooks a large cove perfect for boating, tubing, skiing, etc and can easily boat to several restaurants on the lake.

About the host

Hosted by John Brooks

John and Becky Brooks live in Blythewood SC and spend as much time as possible at this Lake Murray paradise. We personally manage and care for the property and look forward to continually upgrading it for our guests and for ourselves.

We are both in residential real estate sales and property management in the Greater Columbia area.

Why they chose this property

This has been a vacation home for the Brooks family since 1988. We have enjoyed it and hosted friends here for the past 28 years and now for the first time have decided to offer it for vacation rental to share with other families.

What makes this property unique

Deep water with big views yet protected enough to safely swim and keep boats at the dock.

Convenient location to Columbia. Nice surroundings with 11 homes on a private island with causeway. Huge Oak trees provide shade on the lake side and there is plenty of sunny manicured lawn area as well.
