Short term rental permit #2500740

Welcome to 'Sunshine and Naptime' - This newly renovated home is located on the Chapin side of Lake Murray. The entire house is newly furnished and full of amenities.

This 3 bedroom lakefront cottage sits on a point with 180 degree panoramic views. Vaulted rustic pine ceilings showcase the wall to wall windows for a view that will take your breath away.

You can watch the sunrise AND sunset from the living room or 600 sq ft deck. There is a hot tub, 2 kayaks, shuffle board table and private dock.

*Living Room*
The front door enters into the main living room. There are two spinning recliners by the entrance that can overlook the water, or interact with others in the living room. This is a great spot to enjoy your morning cup of coffee. There is plenty of room to socialize in the large open floorplan. The focal point of the room is the vaulted pine ceiling. There is a 60 inch tv and Roku sound bar over the custom brick fireplace. Brand new gas logs were installed in the fireplace that you can easily turn on with a flip of a switch. You may log into the tv with your personal streaming apps, or use the Direct TV app to browse cable channels. There is also a Bose bluetooth speaker for guests to enjoy. The extra large L-shaped sectional and chaise lounger has a queen size pull out memory foam mattress. There are two sliding glass doors that connect the living room to the oversized outdoor deck.

*Dining Room*
The farmhouse dining table can seat up to 8 guests (there is an additional 8 person dining table on the deck as well). With its location beside the sliding glass patio doors, you get a great lake view from this location. Tucked into a corner beside the dining table is a built-in bar for storing your wine or cocktails. The nearby buffet table has board games and extra serving dishes inside.

*Kitchen*
Adjacent to the living room, the open concept kitchen is still right in all the action. The 3 ft x 5 ft island has barstool seating for 3 guests, and a beverage fridge for extra storage. No expense was spared on the quartz countertops, soft close cabinets, and stainless steel appliances. There is a high end Blendtec blender that is great for making smoothies or blending cocktails. The fully stocked kitchen is equipped with all of the essentials you will need during your stay. There is a deep built pantry in the nearby hallway for storing all your vacation yummies. Please note: There is no garbage disposal at this property due to the septic system.

*Deck & Outdoors*
The oversized 40 ft x 16 ft deck is a great place to spend most of your time. You can see the sunrise to your right, or the sunset to your left. Dimming cafe lights set the perfect ambiance for your getaway. There is comfortable lounge seating for 5 people, and a gas fire table that you can easily turn on and off with a knob. The 8 person outdoor dining table can convert into a shuffleboard table underneath. There is a 4 person 220 volt hot tub with lake views. There is a relaxing hammock overlooking the lake shore.

*Kayak*
There are two 10 ft sit on top kayaks on the left side of shed. We have provided adult and kids life jackets, which we require you to use when using kayaks.

*Lake and Private Dock*
Bring your boat or rent one at one of the nearby Lake Murray Marinas. There is parking available for one boat on the 16 ft by 8 ft floating dock. There is also plenty of lakeshore to swim and float around. You can access the swimming area from the ladder on the dock, or via steps on the shoreline. Message the host if you will need trailer parking. The closest public boat ramps are Rocky Point, Hilton, or Eptings Landing. There is also great fishing off our dock. Common fish by our point are catfish, bass, and bream.

*Bedroom One*
Queen bed with Temper-pedic mattress, rustic wood bed frame, two nightstands, full length mirror and a dresser. There is a closet and tall bed frame for storing luggage. This room has a 24 inch smart tv for streaming. Fresh white bed and bath linens are included in all bedrooms. There is a ceiling fan, two lamps, and custom American flag artwork.

*Bedroom Two*
Queen bed with Temper-pedic mattress topper, two nightstands, full length mirror, and a dresser. This room has a lake view and a beautiful Lake Murray watercolor painting created by local artist Rachel Parker. There is a 24 inch smart tv for streaming, ceiling fan, and a private closet. The double wall sconces dim independently, which makes this room a great spot for reading at night.

*Bedroom Three*
This room has a Twin bed over a Full bunk bed with memory foam mattresses. There is also a pull out trundle, but we don't suggest using this unless you have a young kid and are in a pinch. The trundle blocks the floor air vent when pulled out fully. The bunk beds have wide steps and safety railings, and each step has a large drawer that pulls out for storage. There is also a closet and pull out storage bins.

*Bathroom One*
This bathroom connects the living room and laundry/hot tub entrance and is the larger bathroom of the two. The custom striped marble shower is a show stopper!! It gives the bathroom a fun nautical feel, and the gold finishes add a touch of warmth. The 10 inch shower head is ultra relaxing. There is a hair dryer and first aid kit in the vanity drawers. There are 5 wall hooks for plenty of room to dry bathing suits and towels.

*Bathroom Two*
Smaller in size but still fully functional, bathroom two is in the hallway outside all three bedrooms. This shower/tub combo has marble tile and a mosaic marble tile shower niche. The built-in medicine cabinet helps with extra storage.

*Laundry Area*
Between bathroom one and the outdoor deck is a small laundry room/mudroom equipped with a full size washer and dryer, folding area, cleaning equipment, and hooks for drying towels. This exterior door is great to use when you are wet or coming in from the hot tub since it connects the outdoors with a shower/bathroom area. There are outdoor chairs stored here that can be taken out to the dock.

*Kids Play Shed*
There is an 8 ft x 12 ft outdoor play house great for little girls. Complete with a play kitchen, dining area, dress up station, doll house, and chalk board wall... There are plenty of things to entertain them for hours! Please do not leave children unattended since the shed is close to the lake shore.

Guest access
This is a quiet residential area. You will have access to the whole home except the locked owners closet and the outdoor water shed where the water purification system is located. You will also have access to the oversized deck, yard, playhouse, and swimming area. With notice, owners may come by to use their boat on the dock.
Other things to note
We require guests to be at least 25 years old to book.
Max Guest count 6 adults and 2 kids

This house is very close to the water and on a wooded lot. Expect to see wildlife including bugs, birds, turtles, muskrats, squirrels, egrets, ants, spiders, mayflies, fish and deer. If bugs or animals bother you, this listing will not be a good fit. Regular pest treatment is done both inside and out, but it is very easy for pests to slip in if the doors or windows are left open.

We do not allow parties. All guests swim at their own risk and are responsible for providing their own life jackets in the event provided life jackets are not the correct size. Guests may tie their boat off at the dock at their own risk.

Someone comes by to clean the hot tub weekly, normally on Wednesday evenings. We also regularly have yard maintenance, pest maintenance, and other routine maintenance workers on the exterior to keep the house looking its best.



- Don't catch anything on fire. The candles are only there to look pretty so please don't light them. Please turn off the fire pit when you are done and don't get tipsy and set something down near the open flame. Smoking is for outside only, rain or shine.
- Keep your hands to yourself: No touching the boat, locked owners closet, or water shed.
-We will provide you with enough bed linens. Please don't use the extras unless you have an 'accident', in which case you will be charged an additional $20 linen fee.
- Please keep your car wheel on the pavement and off the grass so you don't break our fancy sprinkler heads.
- Don't go swimming without a life vest unless you can swim like Michael Phelps. Swim at your own risk and don't jump/dive off the dock - It's shallower then it looks!
- Kayak at your own risk, and be prepared for your butt to get wet. Life jackets must be worn and you must clean off and replace kayaks where you found them.
- Hot tubs are fun but they come with lots of rules. You probably already know them but here we go anyways: No glass, body oils, lake water, or human fluids allowed in the tub.
- Do you like your hot tubs warm and leaf free Great, we do too! So lets keep it covered when you aren't using it.
- We aren't your momma so please clean up your trash. Keep the trash cans away from the house so the sugar ants don't get ya.
- Our view may be big and beautiful but our driveway isn't. Please leave your tractors, tanks, airplanes and souped up trucks at home.
- The only thing that should go in the toilets is toilet paper, and the only thing that goes down the drain is water. We have plenty of wastebaskets for everything else. Flushable wipes aren't actually flushable, and we really don't want to replace our septic system!
- You break it you buy it.

BEWARE: If you fail at the mission outlined above you could get scolded, ejected, penalized, or all of the above.
