Homes in South Carolina

Modern, triple master, quiet
West and East coast cousins get together for a beautiful stay on Kiawah Island. Three generations and we all loved the home and location. It was spacious enough that all ten of us felt comfortable. There were five adults and five children (infant through age 12). We cooked several meals during our stay and the kitchen was definitely designed for people who love to cook. We rented beach items and bikes through ESPM and enjoyed riding bikes to the beach (about a 10 minute ride) and on the many bike trails on the island. This was a lovely, spacious home. The screened in porch was a great place to sit, chat and enjoy the privacy of the back yard. The area was gorgeous, the house lovely and we would definitely reserve again.

Vintage home near downtown Greenville.
The house was a great spot to spend two quiet nights. The deck was a peaceful place and the house was in great condition with tons of decorations. Thank you for this nice little house.

New Home! Only 15 min to Shaw/Sumter. Dog friendly
We stayed during Boykin Nationals and its was a great location for us. The house was clean and the space worked well for our family and pet. The small fenced in backyard made letting the dog out easy and the host was very easy to get a hold of and work with. We will definitely be coming back!

FANTASTIC PRICE!! FOR CHARLESTON 2 BEDROOM HOUSE
Tony's place was exactly what we needed. Very close to the Art Center, Coliseum and an Shopping Outlet. The host was very friendly, responsive and understanding. We appreciate the details he puts to have his guests feels at home. We love the background music when you first get to the house..... was a nice welcoming after a long drive.

Quaint 2BR home w access to Black Creek & downtown
This hidden gem in Hartsville is the place to stay if you are looking for something clean, private, and in a perfect location. The hosts were extremely accommodating and friendly. This will be my go to place next time I am in town!!

Cypress Cove
Great house! more room than expected. extra beds were a pleasant surprise.

Southern Charm Townhome
Great amenities, ideal location and wonderful host, thank you a lot!

Beautiful Spacious Home
Our stay at this Airbnb was pleasant overall. The home is cozy and offers great value for the price. While we did encounter some cleanliness issues upon arrival, the host was very responsive and quickly offered to have a cleaning lady come to address the issue. The property is located in a quiet and peaceful area, perfect for relaxing. Maybe the cleanliness issue may have been a one-time occurrence, and we appreciate the host's swift action in addressing it. Despite this, we still feel that the size and overall value of the home deserve a 5-star rating. With a bit of attention to detail and some fixing up, this Airbnb has the potential to be a fantastic place to stay. We appreciate the responsiveness and hospitality.
Cabins in South Carolina

Historic Log cabin on private fishing lake
We had a wonderful time at the cabin. All the surroundings were just beautiful. We enjoyed having all our meals on the porch and just sitting in the rockers and watching the lake. The walk to the beautiful waterfall was a real treat as was watching the Ospreys feeding their baby. Michael is an excellent host and we feel blessed to have found this undisturbed treasure. We hope to be able to visit again soon.

Lakefront Cabin with Scenic Views
We had a great stay. Beautiful property. Wayne was a perfect host and always responsive to any questions.

Pet Friendly Private Cabin on the River
The view from the deck was even better than pictures. The relaxing sound of the river was just what we needed. The deck on a warm day was the highlight of the trip. The bed was ohhhh so comfortable. There’s thoughtful things all around the cabin to aid in our fun and relaxation. Master bath super big and very nice to relax in. It’s obvious how much work and upgrades have been put into this private cabin. The grounds and hiking areas were enjoyed by my pups and I.

"A Cozy" Loblolly Cabin central to all outdoor
As soon as we walked in we felt right at home, like we were staying with family. It smelled fresh and clean. Cell service was spotty but we didn’t mind, we were able to unplug and enjoy each other. I would stay here again!

Chattooga Lakefront Cabin w/ Hot Tub + Pvt. Dock!
Beautiful lake home. Just as advertised. We really enjoyed staying there for our family vacation. Joanne was a great host always responsive and quickly got back to us with anything we needed.

Charming Cabin on Lake Murray
As a fisherman I almost don’t want to tell you about this gem. I might want to go there again and once ya’ll go there it will stay booked. Great place to relax if you don’t fish as well. We found it to be so impressive for our needs that I have no hesitation in recommending this place. Marcie answered every question I had in a timely manner and I felt like I was messaging a friend although we have never met. The boat ramp and dock made the fishing trip so enjoyable and easy. Check out “Fiddlers in the Lake” great food and friendly people.

Unique Lake Murray Cabin With a Gorgeous View
This was such a sweet little cabin on the lake! I left wondering how much it would be to build one just like it on some land back home! Great use of space and close to the water. Also there is a boat ramp just down the road. Really convenient!

Napaw Mountain Log Cabin~Magical Mt.Top Experience
What an amazing cabin tucked away in the woods, Patty and Jack have thought of everything to make this vacation as cozy as possible. The cabin is just as advertised, if not more beautiful. The property feels very secluded and was perfect for our family of four. The two teenagers loved what they referred to as their own apartment on the bottom floor as they played games and laid outside in the hammocks. We tried it all....the onsite trail down to the river, toasted marshmallows by the fire pit one evening and enjoyed the hot tub. We appreciated the fully stocked kitchen as we brought our own groceries to make meals and everything we needed to cook with was provided. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a personalized welcome sign (nice touch), a basket of snacks and some drinks. Patty was very responsive through the Airbnb app, provided detailed directions to get to the property, made finding the cabin and arriving very simple. We will definitely stay here again, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Pawleys Island-2nd row-faces ocean:June-Sept-Sa-Sa
Clean and well stocked house, although we were in town for a wedding so did not spend much time in the home or going to the beach. Donna was kind and responsive in communicating. Front door a bit difficult to lock/unc lock so we used the back door to come and go. Linens and towels were clean and well stocked. House is older, so a few things like the shower/tubs are a bit older and the water pressure is so so, but overall the layout was great for our group and we enjoyed our stay.

Oceanside retreat
The cottage is cozy. It has everything you need to relax. The kitchen is well stocked. New this year was the addition of an air fryer along with easy to read instructions. Beds and pillows are comfy as is the living room furniture. Bobby is very quick to answer any questions and rectify any concerns. This is our third stay here . The community is very friendly as are the community dogs!

Serenity Cove, pet friendly. Fenced yard King bed
The perfect month long stay before tourist season. First: Essentials. WIFI - dependable, fast for work. Clean - very clean, neat Crews tidied up outside - mulching, raking - post winter tasks Cozy - with a low country beach cottage vibe... comfy day beds/mattresses on both Queen (2nd Bedroom) and King (Primary) Spacious - Family room can easily handle a family of 6-8, with a dog or two & kids... much larger than photos suggest Kitchen - more than adequate with counter top appliances, full size refrigerator, counter space to prep meals & gas grill off the screened in breezeway to do a few steaks Second - Location - we walked to Garden City pier w/ beach chairs, beach bag & cooler...not quite a mile. safe with low traffic & sidewalks.. rent a golf cart to haul kids & gear - can use golf cart to run to Kroger for groceries...or up to Neal & Pam's in Surfside. Garden City is a much quieter pace than Myrtle Beach center... Airport was a 20 minute drive to pick up family.

Hilton Head Beach Getaway
We would stay again, the location is wonderful and the beach is awesome. Very private location and we loved the deck/fenced in yard for the dog.

Sunnyside Inlet Cottage
Charming and so very clean! Loved the tiny house concept and had every needed amenity.

Peace in Paradise on island-pets welcome!
This place was awesome. It had everything we needed. very organized and had items for us to take to the beach and a game system for the kids. everything was labeled and clear a clear understanding of where to find something. Great location and quick drive to both beaches. I give this place 5 stars on everything!

Simple Pet Friendly Home
Julia’s place was great! Our family was visiting my little brother for the holiday weekend, so we decided to get a rental so that we could cook for him before he went back to base. Julia had everything (and more!) that we needed, and was willing to accommodate our needs whenever at all possible. Her place truly became our home away from home. Next time we are in the area, we will definitely stay at Julia’s again if it is available.

Dogs dogs and more dogs all pets welcome
Great location. Quick walk to the beach. Great for pets with a fenced in yard.
Your guide to South Carolina
Welcome to South Carolina
Weeping Spanish moss cloaks the cobblestone streets and historic homes of South Carolina’s oldest cities while its coast beckons travelers from near and far. South Carolina is one of the original 13 colonies of the United States, and it resisted British authority. Perched on the coast just north of Savannah, Charleston has been a major port city since the Spanish first settled the area in the 16th century, and was hotly contested territory in subsequent wars. Remnants of this history still stand in places like Fort Sumter and Fort Moultrie. South Carolina’s draws are heavily clustered around coastal areas like Hilton Head and Myrtle Beach — or on waterways that connect to the sea — but there’s plenty to do and see in its inland cities like the state capital of Columbia and the cultural hotbed of Greenville.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in South Carolina
As one of the southernmost states on the Eastern Seaboard, South Carolina maintains a mild climate year-round, making it an ideal destination no matter when you’re visiting. Summer months are popular at the beaches, so avoid traveling in June, July, and August if you want to escape the crowds. Fall and spring are traditionally beautiful, and a bit cooler, though still T-shirt weather. Keep hurricane season in mind when planning your trip to South Carolina; it runs June through November along the Atlantic coast. Winter, which happens to overlap with oyster season, can be a pleasant time to visit due to the lack of crowds, though some businesses in coastal areas may close seasonally.
Top things to do in South Carolina
Charleston
With its cobblestone streets and antebellum architecture, Charleston is one of the most charming cities in the American South. A peninsula town whose rivers empty into the Atlantic Ocean, it has a warm, welcoming vibe where visitors are treated like family, and just about anywhere you go somebody is eager to fill your cup with a heavy-handed pour of spiked sweet tea. If you want to combine urban travel with a beach getaway, Charleston is the place for you; its downtown core occupies a tight grid of streets and historic homes with thriving beach communities — Folly Island to the west and Isle of Palms and Sullivan’s Island to the east — on each side.
Congaree National Park
Wildlife enthusiasts, hikers, and paddlers will want to add South Carolina’s only national park, just south of Columbia, to their itinerary. The Congaree and Wateree rivers snake their way through the bottomland hardwood forest, part of the Congaree International Biosphere Reserve, making it a great place to observe the unique ecosystems by kayak via its waterways.
Greenville
In the northwestern corner of the Palmetto State near the Blue Ridge Mountains, Greenville is a melting pot of lifestyles: a city made for epicures and art lovers that also places heavy emphasis on outdoor living. While Falls Park on the Reedy is Greenville’s centerpiece, it’s not the only waterfall in town: Greenville boasts more than 30 breathtaking cascades, three state parks, and the 22-mile, multi-use Prisma Health Swamp Rabbit Trail.
