Columbia Metropolitan Getaway

Pet-friendly property that was voted best short term rental in Columbia by Livability online magazine! Modern home in Columbia's "Rosewood" neighborhood features spunky decor. Very close to the USC campus/stadium, Fort Jackson, zoo and museums. Convenient to amazing dining, shopping, and entertainment.

Colorful, Mid Century Modern design. Comfort mixed with class. You will enjoy the pops of colors everywhere. Kitchen is fully stocked with all the cooking gear you need to enjoy a nice meal in your home away from home. Off street parking with assigned spaces are right outside the door. Home is two levels. The top level holds the bedroom and full bath. The bottom level holds the kitchen, dining area, half bath and living room. The living room contains a full size sofa bed. It is so much nicer than a typical sofa bed. The pull out ottoman completes the couch into the bed. This will be comfy place with privacy away from the bedroom. You all so enjoy this bed while watching TV or laying beside the fire.

The Neighborhood

Rosewood is a vibrant and historic in-town residential neighborhood with eight beautiful parks, tree-lined streets, commercial and industrial districts, and a public airport. We also have a community orchard, two community gardens, high school sports stadiums, and City Roots–Columbia’s only urban farm!

A charming mix of old and new make Rosewood one of Columbia’s most eclectic and attractive communities for young professionals, families, and seniors. Residents enjoy the friendly atmosphere, diversity, and convenience of in-town life and amenities.

Good for what we needed
We just needed a place to stay while waiting for our home to open on Fort Jackson. The home was suitable for what we needed. Some small things would have made stay five stars. The listing pictures need updating. The couch that is shown downstairs is no longer there and replaced with a black futon. As is, I don’t think this home could comfortably sleep more than 2 adults and 1 small child. There is a cot & mattress in the upstairs closet that we ended up using for our toddler. Paint needs a touch up. Overall a charming home, good lodging for the price, close to shopping, restaurants & attractions.

Poorly Maintained, Poorly Cleaned
We stayed here for a night (09/28/23), only because it was late and we were exhausted from travel. The property has not been maintained to the level of the current photos. Furniture is missing and what is there is badly stained. The walls are scraped, marked, and stained. The hot water handle of the bathroom faucet was broken off and the shower was dripping. Overall the property was not well cleaned. There was litter out front and an overflowing trash can out the back door. The toilet was clogged. We had our trip canceled and refunded after we found a mess the cleaner had missed in the living area, which was poorly lit as the overhead light fixture had no working bulbs (the dining area’s light fixture had 1 out of 5 working).

Very outdated
Didn't feel the pics and description prepared me for the property. All appliances were very dated and i did not feel comfortable cooking in the property. Pictures show furniture not in the unit. The couch was very small (not suitable as extra bed for anyone over 5) also not the one pictured. The upstairs bathroom didn't work and made noise all throughout the day and night. The property was not terrible but i would definitely recommend to update the pictures and show the outdated appliances not to surprise anyone. The stove and fridge are from the early 90's. The bathroom the 70's, paint and upgrades there as well would go a long way. I feel the ad should show how dated it is, not everyone has a problem with that. Some people do especially when not expecting it.

Excellent stay
We were moving from one home to another and my daughter needed a place to stay. This place was excellent. Great location, save, and owner was awesome. If I could rank it higher I would. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. We will be going there again during football season

Horrible experience
When we got to this place it had not been cleaned properly at all. There were dog hairs everywhere which was terrible for my family suffering allergies. The garbage disposal was broken and a strong odor was coming from it. Refrigerator was rusty and walls stained. In the outside five garbage containers were close to the door and flies came inside the house as soon as we open the door. I called vrbo to explain the situation and to ask for a refund since I could not stay there with my family. The representative, Daniel, told me there was nothing they can do and ask me to talk to the owner. He said vrbo was not responsible for this situation and there was nothing they can do for me. This is just absurd and the worst customer service experience I have ever had since I rented this unit through vrbo. At the end I talked to the owner and he agree to give me a partial refund and cancel the reservation.We left and went to a hotel with a significant monetary impact on us. Vrbo retained all fees I paid even though the reservation was canceled and we lost 60% of the money we have paid. This is the worst experience I have ever had on renting a vacation property and I will never again use Vrbo services.

Great host, cute house
The small duplex was quaint and clean. Had most of what you need. The host was very accommodating and worked with us on departure. Parts of the neighborhood were transitional, but it was very quiet and there were no issues. We walked our dog at night and had no problems. Close to a park that has frisbee golf, skate park and soccer fields. Close drive to food and shopping.
