Octagonal Home & Wrap-Around Porch - Opulent Oasis

Summary:
Discover our delightful octagonal home with a spiral staircase! Just minutes from Fort Jackson, restaurants, shops, and Sesquicentennial State Park, this four-bedroom, 2.5-bath retreat is perfect for family and friends. Whether you're visiting loved ones on base, enjoying nature at Sesqui, or exploring Columbia's vibrant attractions, you’ll find your ideal getaway here. We've also included professional photos alongside real-time images from our cleaning team, so you know exactly what to expect.

The Space:
Guests can enjoy their morning coffee on the expansive wrap-around upper porch and spend their evenings grilling out under the covered downstairs patio. This wooded lot provides expansive greenery in the spring, plentiful shade through those hot summer days, and a kaleidoscope of color in the fall!
As you drive up to our blue, octagonal-shaped home with a white wrap-around wooden porch/deck on the upper level, you will park in the private driveway, then climb two flights of stairs (landing in between) to reach the main home entrance with a digital door code. Once inside the main living area, we have a sofa bed and futon in the seating area and 50" Smart Roku TV. Past the living room is the kitchen; it has counter seating for four people. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to prepare meals at home. There are pots, pans, flatware, dishes, mixing bowls, blender, toaster, oven, microwave, oven, stove, and dishwasher. Off the kitchen area is a washer and dryer. The master bedroom has a king bed and a full ensuite bathroom. Additionally, there is a second full bathroom and a queen bed on the second level. Descending the spiral stairway in the living room will lead to a second living area with a futon and a fully-size sleeper sofa, and a dining room. The ground floor has a bedroom with a twin, a second bedroom with a twin and a full, and a Jack and Jill bathroom between. There is an additional living space on this floor with another sofa bed and futon!

***A pack 'n play/travel crib is available upon request.***

Guest Access:
Guests have access to a private driveway for parking, and the home is not shared with any guests or residents. Main access to the home is on the second level using the digital keypad, with a back up lockbox on the ground level. Code for the keypad will be provided upon check-in.

The Neighborhood:
We are located in a residential neighborhood with mature trees and lots of privacy. Just minutes from Fort Jackson, food, shopping and grocery. What more could you ask for

Getting Around:
Driving is recommended and we provide parking for our guests. Uber and Lyft service the area as well.

Other Things to Note:
***A pack 'n play/travel crib is available upon request.***

We require a signed rental agreement and for guest to be 25 years of age to book.
If you notify us of your intent to cancel prior to the lapse of the free cancellation period, we will return 97% of your payment. The other 3% will already have been collected by the credit card processing company, and we have no way to return that portion of the payment.
This home is minutes to Fort Jackson, and about twenty minutes to Sesquicentennial State Part. "Sesqui" as we lovingly call it, provides hiking, a playground, and even a splash pad in the summer!

We are a pet friendly home. Pets must be crated when they are left unattended in the home. We do not allow pets on furniture or beds, and all waste must be cleaned up from the yard. All pets require a non-refundable pet fee. If there is evidence of pet hair on the furniture, excess hair in the home, stains, or waste found in the yard or home, you will be charged the cost to clean this. In the event that a security deposit is collected, we will retain all or part of the security deposit to cover any costs associated with additional cleaning due to pets.

Interaction with Guests:
We want to provide our guests with maximum privacy and flexibility, so we have check-in and check-out automated. We will call and touch base on the phone, and we can always have someone come and help if you need it, but otherwise, we will leave you and your friends and family to spend time together.

Totally ok - not great.
I was with 8 other people for family weekend at UofSC. Like many, who use Vrbo, I do a lot of research before booking, and rely on the reviews of many to make a decision. The description of thes home is not incorrect, but the photos make it look much better than it is and the 10/10 reviews are very generous. We should all be able to expect a clean property with clean linens and the basics of a working home. This house had none of the extras and was missing some of the basics. We weren't planning on cooking a gourmet meal but eggs and bacon seem pretty basic. For a house that sleeps 13 people, there was only enough of some dishes to accommodate 5 or 6 people So we were hand washing dishes during meal time. The Pots and pans were abysmal with almost all with chipped and peeling Teflon on the bottom. It is so inexpensive to buy a set of pots and pans, that I can't conceive of a reason why an owner or management company would allow this. The toilets "kind of flush" with some having to be manually refilled and at least one shower with the weakest stream of water, almost making showering impossible. The master shower had no shower liner and only half of the shower hanger keeping the curtain in place. These things are such easy fixes that I don't know why they let them go by the wayside. The yard was a total mess. Like I said, the general condition of the house is ok but it really needs a total overhaul

The house was nice it was an old house but nice and different. The sinks didn’t drain good the toilets was hard to flush the door down stairs bathroom wouldn’t lock and the tubs didn’t drain so while taking showers we where standing in the water because it wouldn’t drain. Called the day we got there nobody came to fix anything until the day before check out so we ended up checking out a day early

Not as advertised
There is a need for maintenance on this property. The bathroom downstairs had a toilet that you had to physically fill tank with water in order to flush. The main upstairs bathroom shower had broken knobs and the door stuck and would take 2 people to open if closed all the way. There were dead bug carcasses in every room. Sheets had stains on them. We couldn't find a dust pan until the last day, it was shoved under one of the downstairs beds. The couch in the upstairs living room smelled so bad we avoided sitting on it, as well as the 2 futons in the main room downstairs. It is very dangerous walking from driveway into house as there is no lighting, until you turn on inside, so you trip over rocks until you get to stairs. Only redeeming factor was it was close to Fort Jackson. Could be a great place if maintenance done and it was cleaned.

Plenty of Room
We were 6 adults a 2 year old and a 2 month old. This house afforded us a lot of room to sleep comfortably. The house was very clean. The neighborhood was quiet and felt safe. It was a good location for us. When I made the reservation, months ago, I had asked if there was a PacnPlay available. I was told that there was. A week or two before our stay, I contacted Patriot Homes and was told that they did not have a Pac n Play. This resulted in us having to secure one. Upon our arrival, I found one in the closet of the master bedroom. Someone had not done their due diligence. We hosted a small dinner for our graduate and utilized the wrap around balcony. My husband found that some of the railings were loose which was a concern because of the 3 year old. We were able to use rope to tie around those rails, that were secure, to keep her from fallen through. The deck really needs work. Lots of rotted wood. The steps leading up to the house have some very loose steps. They are very loose! We did three loads of wash while we were there and upon trying to dry the 3rd load, there was an EXTREMELY load noise. It sounded like metal upon metal. The person to whom we spoke was willing to come out right away but since we had been able to dry the clothes by hanging them around the house, we told him it was not necessary to come right away. So all in all, the accommodations were fine. I did need to buy a knife sharpener and some washable cutting boards. I left some mixing bowls too.

Motel room vibe
First off, nothing about the listing description of the property is inaccurate, but I do believe the reviews are way too generous for the condition of this home. We rely heavily on reviews to decide on our vacation properties. If I'd have known what I know now I would never have picked this house. Hoping the next traveller can make a better-informed decision. I'll start with the cons: **the MB bed frame squeaks quite a lot. I couldn't roll over without waking my husband. The mattress also slants to the middle. **the bedding and towels are all very low quality. The sheets are thin and worn. **the pillows on all beds are very cheap, thin, VERY uncomfortable **the main sofa in the living room is dirty and slants to the middle **the floors are very dirty **the kitchen garbage disposal doesn't work, which we didn't find out until we'd deposited food in it **all of the curtains in all rooms are too small for the windows so don't provide adequate privacy **most of the windows upstairs and downstairs were unlocked when we arrived (safety hazard) **the furnishings and decor are motel-quality Pros: **the immediate neighborhood feels safe and friendly (had neighbor approach us and offer assistance with anything we may need) **proximity to Ft. Jackson is great **responsiveness from mgmt was very good **plenty of room for large groups to spread out We wouldn't rent again but could work for a family that has a big group and doesn't mind the details above.

Close to Fort Jackson
We were here for Basic Training graduation at Fort Jackson. We wanted something close to the facilities and this was the perfect location. The neighborhood is older yet quiet and we felt safe. It was perfect for what we were looking for.

Very convenient to Fort Jackson
While the house doesn’t exactly look as good in person as in the photos, it is clean enough and we had no problems. It’s comfortable and cute with enough space for a family. The location is extremely convenient for those attending Fort Jackson graduations and everything is easy to find. The neighborhood felt safe enough that we took walks during the day. Lots of hills on which to get good exercise!

Perfect for our needs!
We came to town for a family event and needed an affordable, pet-friendly rental with sleeping capacity for 7. That's exactly what we got. There's not much to do in the surrounding neighborhood but we weren't expecting that. The kitchen was stocked well and the house was spacious. This is a great value if you just need a place to crash in a quiet location.

Details matter
I do not have any complaints about our stay just some suggestions. The very first step going upstairs to the house is broken three out of the 12 people all tripped. It should be repaired rather quickly before someone actually does get hurt. The cleaning services are not doing a very good job when you unfold the futons there is food crumbs what have you in the fold of the futon. When wiping down the house before we left I noticed the floors were unbelievably dirty on the rag I was using. But like I said no complaints I would stay there again and again the beds were unbelievably comfortable, The linens were freshly clean and access to the house was remarkably easy. Thank you for the hospitality.
