Top Goat Island Hotel Reviews

1972 Airstream luxury tiny living at it's best in Columbia near Lake Murray!

10/10 Excellent

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the Airstream. It was clean, comfortable and exactly as represented on VRBO. It's pet- friendly, so we were able to bring our beagle. Our host answered any questions and concerns we had before arrival. Many of the local eateries allow dogs on their patios, so we had a nice variety of places to eat, and we took a lovely 2-hour pontoon cruise on beautiful Lake Murray with our beagle. We had a very enjoyable vacation celebrating our 65th wedding anniversary. allowed the On beautiful Lake Murray"

Brick Bliss on Broadreach | 4BR 3.5BA

8/10 Good

"This home was clean and welcoming and in a quiet neighborhood, which worked well for us. Our four adults group enjoyed all having our own bedrooms and own bathrooms (including the 1/2 bath). I would have given 5 stars except for the semi-unfinished closet off the master bath and the relatively dim lighting in the master bath. If you're looking for a large, peaceful place near the lake but much more affordable than waterfront, I recommend this home."

Polaris Pointe on the Cove

10/10 Excellent

"This property is probably the most beautiful I've seen ever!! The pool, the lake views , the flow of the house and the guest house with garage set up to spend watching football. My 30 year old autistic son loved his room over looking Lake Murray and spent hours upon hours in the lazy river and jumping off the "rock" in the deep end. First thing he said on the way home "Can we go back" It was so peaceful and serene. A hidden gem. We made one trip to Publix and stocked up for our stay so we wouldn't need to leave this oasis. The guest house was perfect place for my older son and my younger son took the bottom floor The Master Suite on the top floor is unbelievable. Beds were so comfy and I'm 61! Every window including the bathroom had a view of the lake. We will go back next year for sure!! The staff were so incredibly kind and available if we needed anything."

Peaceful paradise on Lake Murray

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was exactly as pictured! The boat ramp was fully paved and easy to use. It was 8-9 feet deep at the dock - perfect for jumping into the lake. Plenty of parking. The views were gorgeous and our group spent a lot of time on the sun porch. Kitchen had everything we needed. JFYI there is only one room with an on-suite bathroom and it is pretty small and upstairs."

La Ventana Luxe Lake Retreat - Sleeps 16+

10/10 Excellent

"The property was amazing but the house was not very clean. Kitchen door handle fell off when we tried to open it and a few ceiling fans were not working. The house next door was being re-stuccoed and the noise was REALLY loud. The stucco dust blew our way whenever we were in the pool. But we had a wonderful time anyway!"
