Home With View of Columbia Cityscape

BETTER THAN A HOTEL!!!
And cheaper too!
Nestled on top a hill at the outskirts of Columbia, yet close and convenient to everything. Fort Jackson and Columbia are about 20 minutes with the USC football stadium approximately 15 minutes. All beds fully made. Kitchen stocked with everything you need. The bathrooms are clean, fresh and inviting. FREE WIFI internet and FREE washer/dryer usage. Close and convenient to interstates 26 & 77 and highways 6, 321 & 302. Guests have exclusive access to all areas of the home and property. The backyard is fenced with chain-link fencing which is great for children and pets. Please do not enter neighboring properties without neighbor’s permission.
This home has one or more video cameras mounted on the exterior. Please do not bother or disturb the cameras and do not unplug them. A tampering fee of $200 will be charged per incident of cameras or their cords being tampered with.
Sleeping arrangements are solely the responsibility of the guest. We make no guarantee of the number of people our home can sleep, but we will allow groups larger than the number of people we specify in the home’s listing. The number of people that this home can sleep is calculated assuming 2 people per bed in double sized or larger beds, and 1 person per bed for single/twin beds. Guests are responsible for determining if this arrangement suits them and their party of companions. Guests may bring sleeping bags, inflatable mattresses, etc. to provide additional sleeping arrangements if they so desire.
Pets are allowed after they are declared in the reservation and the pet fee is paid, or we have been notified that the guest wishes to bring a pet, and the $75 + tax per pet fee paid. If you bring pets without declaring them and paying the reservation pet fee, you will be responsible for paying a $250 + tax per pet fee. Do not bring a pet into our home, under any circumstances, without our knowledge and approval. We have a child who is extremely allergic to pets and their hair and dander. The allergy is so acute, he has required emergency hospitalization several times. No matter how good or well-trained a pet may be, no pet, including service animals, can avoid shedding hair and dander, and when pets are in strange places, they do strange things. If you have not declared your pet on the reservation site and paid the pet fee, so the home can be specially cleaned and sanitized of hair and dander after you leave, please, do not bring a pet into our home, under any circumstances, without our knowledge and approval. When the guest is allowed to bring a pet, if the pet soils (urine, poop, blood, other bodily fluids, dirt, etc.) or damages the floor, carpet, furniture, etc., the cleaning service charges additional fees for cleaning and repair that will be charged to the guest. When brought into the home, pets are not allowed on countertops or any of the furniture, beds, tables, chairs, etc. Pets are to stay on the floor at all times. If you bring pets into our home without our approval, there will be charged $250 + tax per pet.
Our home is offered for people visiting the area to have a place to stay while they are out and about and attending to the purpose of their visit. Our home is not intended nor offered for having social events or hosting guests and visitors. If you are having visitors, then you are engaging in a social event. Social Events are allowed with approval of host. For any type of social event, parties, gatherings, rehearsals, reunions, showers, weddings, etc. there is a charge of $150 + tax. After you reserve our home, we will send a special payment request, through your reservation web page, for the social event fee in the amount of $150 + tax. When you book our home, you will need to declare the number of people who will be staying in the home, and you will have to let us know how many people will be attending the event.
Guests are required to provide a clear, legible copy of a valid driver’s license for the individual making the reservation and a list of the full names for all persons who will be staying in the home or accessing the property. Check-in will be allowed only after the copies of driver’s license and list of names have been received.

Home Away from Home
Great place to stay. Our family enjoyed the home. Nice and clean and close to shopping. We were there because our son graduated from Ft. Jackson and when we travel, I am always looking for a home away from home and we found it here. We will stay again if we're ever in Columbia again.

Perfect house for us.
We were attending a three day event at the South Congaree Horse Arena. It was so nice to come home to a real house after spending the entire day outside in the heat. Absolutely the best choice for our group to stay at Doran's house.

Very cozy and family friendly. All the amenities of being at home. The owner was very fast at responding and quick with needs. Asked if the property had a grill or bbq and he furnished one for our stay! Will most definitely contact this owner for our next stay! Thank you again from our family to yours!

Our family very much enjoyed our stay. We had an easy 20 to 30 min. Ride to Fort Jackson and back! There is a Food Lion minutes from the house with anything you could need! Doran was great with communication and everything was exactly as pictured! We were able to bring our Soldier back and enjoy him in a very peaceful setting!

Overall the home was in a perfectly clean state. The only issue we ran into was every bed besides the master was hard as a rock with barely any cushion around a box of springs.

Your home is absolutely gorgeous
I was very impressed when I arrived. I felt at home, & didn’t want to leave. The beds are so comfortable. I’m a cooker & fell in love with the kitchen. The supermarket & more stores are close to the property. I was there for my daughters graduation from basic training at Ft Jackson. It was a 20 minute drive. I would recommend this property because you would feel as if you never left your home. This is a home I would definitely come back to.

Worst Experience Ever For Vacation Rental Home
This was the worst experience for a vacation rental I have ever experienced. I have been renting vacation homes for a long time with different companies. The lack of communication with the owner to get combination for lockbox did not exist. I sent a message via VRBO, as well as telephoned him, on the morning of departure. He did not call me back until 1:00 P.M, and his response is that he had up to 4:00 P.M. to respond to me. My wife finally got him to allow us in at 3:00 P.M. and was told the key was under the front door mat. I was not allow to get the combination because it was used for emergencies or for the housekeeper(how inconvenient with friends==> had to hide the key outside so other people could use). The lawn was not cut(up to my ankle or higher), A lot of light bulbs was not in place, numerous dump trucks passing in front of the house all day since the end of the street was a entrance to sandpit company, the driveway was a steep angle and four inch difference between driveway surface and ground in some area(very dangerous). He then sends emails concerning stipulations about stay a hour before 4;00 P.M. that should have been on his house webpage. I also had to dispose of the garbage before leaving. even though I paid a cleaning fee. I could have been charged extra money for arriving early or leaving late(outrageous fee). I will never stay at this place ever again. What a disappointment.

Read the listing carefully !!!!!!
We ultimately didn’t even check into the property, and ended up going to a nearby hotel instead. I didn’t cancel the reservation at the property as I’d not receive any refund anyways - and at least I could write a review. Ultimately, this was the first listing that has ever required the information this host wants. Full names of all guest, to include my minor children? An unaltered Copy of my license. I did not feel comfortable giving him all of this information, informed both him and VRBO that it was against VBRO policy to communicate outside of the secure platform. Ended up sending some variation of the information (accurate or not I won’t say). On top of that, host wants to meet you in person at check-in (also never encountered that). Says all hotels required a license and that is why the IRS requires. But I’ve never given a hotel my license either, so it added to the shadiness. Host tries to make you feel comfortable sending all of this by boasting about his “Q Level Clearance with the Department of Energy” and some story about how he got a fee from the IRS for not collecting licenses. But we felt just through email communication and the one phone call that VBRO put us on together like this situation was bad all around. I had asked to cancel the reservation and get refunded due to not wanting to provide my ID - but naturally that wasn’t allowed bc it was in the posting. So my advice - read the posting carefully. All the way to end.
