Chapin, South Carolina
Enjoy this cozy 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom family home on an acre lot on Lake Murray with BIG views in Chapin. This 1,355 square foot house has a large family room with big lake views, dining room with a gas fireplace, and the kitchen has peninsula bar seating for four including all major and small appliances. The first bedroom has a queen size bed, the second has a twin bunk + a twin trundle. The Master Suite has a queen size bed + TV, walk-in closet, private bathroom, laundry and exterior access.
We put a lot of thought into furnishing this home and had families in mind with each detail. It isn't the most updated home on the lake, but it's one of the homiest!
The house is done in a self-proclaimed 'coastal lake house modern style' with loads of cozy furnishings, upholstery, pillows, linens, and a mix of natural textiles - think wicker, rattan, wood and glass. Various warm grays, soft neutrals and hues of blue give this house a homey feel the moment you enter.
There are various options for outdoor seating and entertaining as well, including a gas propane grill, reclaimed wood Adirondack style chairs at the outdoor lakeside firepit, two more Adirondack style chairs at the end of the dock, an outdoor sectional with cushions and pillows on the patio with two oversized lounge chairs, and a reclaimed wood outdoor picnic table made by a local artisan. Don't forget the Pirate Ship themed playground for the children or young at heart!
We do have one kayak on hand and are working on supplying a few more for guests that are traveling without their own personal watercraft.
The large paved driveway has plenty of parking for cars, trucks, campers or boat trailers. A public boat launch is located about 10 minutes away at the Hilton Recreation Area in Chapin, SC (Google Maps).
The depth at the dock is only a few feet deep, so pontoons or smaller boats (we have a 19.5' fish and ski by Sea Pro) are best for dock parking. If you are traveling between October and April the water depths may be lower than expected due to seasonal lowering of Lake Murray water levels controlled by Dominion Energy (formerly SCE&G).
We live near the Lake House and are accessible by the Airbnb app, phone or text during your stay.
This is a residential lake neighborhood with a mix of older and newer style homes. The majority of our neighbors live in their homes year round but with the landscaping, vegetation and 1 acre size of the lot, you will not see many of your neighbors unless out on the dock or on the water. There are a few local restaurants that will deliver and some grocery and convenience store options within a 10 - 15 minute drive as well.
If you want to get your bearings prior to booking, look up Lake Murray Sailing Club in Chapin, SC on Google Maps to search nearby amenities.
You will definitely want a personal vehicle while staying at the this property - we have not tried to Uber or Lyft from this location and there is no public transportation near this area.
A+ location and place Received a call driving 16 hours from MA to ask if I knew when I’d arrive. I said, isn’t check in at 4? They stated yes but were wondering what time you’d be in. I confirmed 4:00- arrived at 4:00 and found the house was still being cleaned. We unpacked in the driveway and waited in the yard. Cleaning staff let us know the dryer was broken. When my husband called about the check in issue and broken dryer, the manager stated, “We can talk about canceling”. Where were we supposed to go?! The pots and pans were scratched and some not so clean. Bunk beds were uncomfortable and creaky- kids slept on couches. Sink was clogged in main bathroom and Drano and maintenance couldn’t fix-plumber came and fixed it. Dryer- maintenance man was told by property management not to go in while we were out on boat rental even though we ok’d his coming to fix. When he did the next day, he had to order parts so I messaged should have a back up like a drying rack which they delivered outside the door. No one knocked to alert that it was there so 2 people home didn’t know it was there to use until husband and I found it outside when arrived home from dinner. Communication was heavily reliant on my continued checking of VRBO messages which caused a lot of confusion and delays in dealing with issues. Better to call renters. Love the property but next time not going with this company
We really enjoyed our stay at this property. Every morning we were able to sit and enjoy the picturesque view of the lake with our coffee. The neighborhood was quiet, yet convenient to everything we needed. The kitchen was well equipped and the two baths were spacious. We cannot say enough positive things about our hosts who communicated and were super helpful. Totally looking at staying at this property again!
Great place right on the water! Amazing location and fully stocked clean house! Mike
It was a great experience.
Lovely home on the lake with great views! We enjoyed our stay and the space.
We were there with a family of 7 and enjoyed our stay. The house was exactly as described and the owners were great with their communication. None of us wanted to leave! We would highly recommend.
We had the best spring break at your property! The play set was an added bonus for our children! Property was clean and roomy! We can not wait to stay again!
The property was exactly like it was listed, plenty of property for kids to play. We enjoyed the fishing, the dock was great. We had everything we needed.
Wonderful stay! Amazing water view, nice dock, lots of privacy. Although water temps were still chilly in March for swimming, kids were still able to play in the water from shore. We rented a boat one day and enjoyed beautiful views from the lake.
Well maintained house and property. Beautiful views of the lake in a very peaceful location
