Fantastic !

We had a wonderful time at Lake Murray. The house had everything we needed for the week. The pool and cabana outside were perfect. Make sure to reserve the boat to take advantage of all the water activities and the restaurants close by. The communication with Jeff was excellent. We would highly recommend this property. You will not be disappointed. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your home. We hope to return soon.

Fantastic 4th of July Getaway

We had an amazing stay on Lake Murray at 18 Sandals. Jeff couldn't have been more accommodating and helpful with all aspects of the stay. We had a few minor issues at first trying to understand switches, remotes, pool equipment, etc. but he was extremely fast to respond and walk us through everything. The pontoon boat rental was the best and easiest rental that I've ever had at a lake house. They showed up exactly when Jeff said they would with a very new pontoon boat that was so convenient for the stay. We had a total of 9 staying there and everyone had plenty of space to enjoy whatever they wanted and the huge kitchen along with the large laundry room and extra fridge came in super handy. The views out the back were amazing each morning and night during sunset and 2 of the marinas that were very close by gave it an easy option to run over for dinner or a quick fuel up for a sunset cruise on the boat. Overall a 5* stay and I would highly recommend to any large family who is looking for a fun, casual, lake getaway for the week!

Fantastic family vacay

Having our whole family together for a week each year is so so important to us…and this house fit our crew perfectly! The layout was ideal for each little family. The pool was spectacular…great for all ages of kiddos because of the sun shelf and ledges. The drop-in kayaking was such a treat each day. We rented the boat one day and the slightly older kids had a blast tubing! The bonus was the nest of great Blue Heron…loved getting to seem them hunt and fly above often. For us, the cook top was super slow to heat up…especially large pots of water to boil..but that was really the only small issue. Super memories made in a super special setting. Thank you!

Perfect Fall Break Getaway

This property was gorgeous inside and out! It had everything we needed for a fun and relaxing fall break! There was so much room for everyone to spread out. We enjoyed using the pontoon boat for fishing and a ride to a local restaurant one day. Our entire crew was fishing nonstop on the dock and from the kayaks onsite. The house was well stocked with anything you could possibly need. The pool and hot tub area felt like resort vibes. The host was very responsive and even provided us great recommendations for local restaurants. We highly recommend this property!

Immaculate Property

This is a well-stocked, extremely clean family friendly property in a quiet neighborhood. We had three generations and even with cooler temps, we enjoyed the pool and paddleboards. We used the hot tub every single day, several times per day. We are already trying to plan another trip next summer. I would highly recommend this property!

Hallmark family vacation.

This house was perfect for the older generation along with my two grown children with spouses and a 1 and 2 YO. The pool was a big hit, and I felt so much safer than having little kids in the lake. Ashley made sure that all went well.

Family Vac of 16 adults

18 Sandals is just like the pictures show. We had 16 adults for the week, and we never felt like we were tripping over each other. Even the pool and hot tub had enough room for us all to enjoy together. It didn't hurt that the weather was gorgeous for the whole week. The appliances are all high end. The kayaks and paddle boards got quite the workout, and the house is located in a no-wake zone, so boat traffic is not an issue either. The host, Ashley, is wonderful to work with. She communicates in a timely manner and leaves the impression that she really wants you to have a good time.

Great Wedding Celebration long weekend

The property was stunning from the minute we walk in the front door looking straight out to the lake. All amenities were plentiful and then some. from beach towels, blankets, fishing poles, corn hole. The property manager was attentive and provided great customer service as we called and needed some direction. Thank you and would come back in a heart beat!
