Octagonal Home & Wrap-Around Porch - Opulent Oasis

Awesome

Gerry great place to stay!

Great place located super close to fort Jackson for those coming to family day for graduation with many options for eating out near by. Host is very friendly and is willing to work with you. Super spacious for big groups with a calm neighborhood environment.

Amazing propery. We have stayed at multiple Patrot Family home and have always had a great experience

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

Great property. Amazing location close to everything

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

There should be Tv in rooms downstairs tv is to close you cant heat upstairs tv Not many pots to cook with also should have more towels when there’s a bigger party staying

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.

We stayed at this property to come and see our son graduate basic training. It was a pleasant stay. Had some minor issues that they worked with us quickly on. Overall a good stay.

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.

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.
