Irmo was recognized in 2018 as “One of the Safest Cities” in South Carolina” and by Money Magazine in 2007 as the 12th “Most Affordable Place to Live in the Country.” Located off the shore of Lake Murray and only ten miles from Columbia, the capital of South Carolina, Irmo was a sleepy little town of 500 people in the early 1970s. Today with more than 13,000 residents Irmo is one of the country’s most sought-after places to live. Located off the shores of Lake Murray and only ten miles from Downtown Columbia, the capital of South Carolina, this town has it all. While visiting Irmo, you can shop at the region’s best shopping at the Columbiana Centre Mall, or take the kids to Frankie's Fun Park for the day.

Overall Just OK
House was just ok. Kitchen didn’t have many of the things needed, and dead bugs in many rooms. Laundry was still in dryer from my guess, previous people and not dry so it smelt moldy. The house is on a very busy road, and neighbors were very loud (3am party). The room with 2 beds does not have a door for privacy. Beds were fine, nothing special. Plenty of pillows and extra blankets. Bathrooms were clean and did have good water pressure.

Issue at check in but it was resolved
The cleaning was missed from the last renters, but the company fixed the issue and sent the cleaning crew out. The room with the two double beds is in a room with no door and has a window to the primary bedroom, so not much privacy. The house was clean though and it's all one level so good for anyone handicap, two steps to enter home.

Do not stay here!
My family drove in from Kansas 15hrs to celebrate my dad’s 90th birthday. Upon arrival late in the evening, the home looked like it was abandoned. The grass in the yard was up to my knees, shrubs were overgrown front and back. Trash can was at the curb full. Entering the house it smelled of mold which I found in a bedroom ceiling-definitely a water issue. The kitchen stove had debris in it. The bathroom and shades were grimy. The furniture was old and nothing felt clean. It seemed as if they purchased a fixer upper, threw Goodwill furniture in it and listed it. I reached out immediately that night and sent a message. I was asked to send pics which I did. There seemed to be no urgency or concern that this location was totally misleading. Do not ruin your vacation by renting with this company. Don’t know if their other locations are this bad but I wouldn’t chance it. Wish I could upload the pics. Vrbo has to do better at vetting their listings.
