During summer evenings, hundreds of thousands of purple martins travel to the 12-acre Doolittle Island in Lake Murray to nest. This little island attracts hundreds of thousands of bird enthusiasts to witness this unparalleled event. We offer excursions to our guests for this cruise which include circling the island and then anchoring the boat swimming and floating in the water while the birds fly overhead and the sunsets.

Comfortable and clean
Home was as described with nice little extras like ziploc bags and shampoo/conditioner/body wash. Beds were super comfortable. The weather didn’t cooperate to enjoy the lake much but it looked nice. Home was darker than I expected (maybe that’s helpful in the heat of summer though) and smelled like moth balls even after we opened all the windows. Host was communicative and allowed us to check in early which I appreciated.

This is not a full house but attic apartment
Beautiful attic apartment and yard . However, the landlords live down below so they ask that you not wear shoes to keep noise level down. They do entertain family and friends at their home which makes renter’s use of the yard and dock awkward. Their own party lasted quite late and we had a early morning wake up to make a flight, so not quite the experience we were looking for.

Beautiful Lake Murray Property
We had an amazing 4 days at this wonderful property. It was the perfect place to explore the area and unwind on the lake. Easy access to the Soda City Market, The State House, Riverwalk, Antique Mall, Congaree National Park. The sunset cruise they provide was fantastic. Kerri and Randy were excellent hosts. We made some new friends. This was a 5 star experience.

Awesome House!
This house is great! Had my dog and college age son. Plenty of room for larger groups. The hosts are super nice and we barely saw them. Lots of time and energy put into this backyard oasis. House was extremely clean! Will definitely rent again next year if back in town for baseball. Very accessible to Lexington County Baseball Complex.

Game weekend with friends
This property is fairly priced, clean, and roomy. Communication with the owner was good. This is a 3BR/1BA apartment above the owners house. Everything met our expectations. The owner complained about noise on a Friday night, I would recommend something in the description about “quiet hours” so potential guests know the rules. There is a pool table and a foosball table, lots of fun for a guys trip. It’s about 25 minutes to USC campus and sporting events, fyi.

About the host

Hosted by Kerri

Host profile image
I am self employed with a part time publishing/advertising business. My husband just retired from an Upholstery business in West Columbia which his father started in 1960. We both have grown up on or near the lake and it has been a part of our lives forever. I learned to water ski here when I was 7 years old. We met through our snow ski club many years ago.
We have grown children and grand children.

Why they chose this property

Our property is unique for many reasons.
The location is as close to Columbia and Lexington as you can be and still be on Lake Murray.
Our yard is beautiful with lush green grass and a variety of perennial flowers that bloom all through the spring and summer. Experience a once-in-a-lifetime viewing of purple martins at one of North America’s largest purple martin roosts. We offer excursions for this. Details in the description.

What makes this property unique

We decorate for Christmas. Our property is unique. It has more of a resort feel because it is a large piece of property with many amenities. The flowers and lush grass are special and have taken years to nourish. LOCATION: We are only minutes from Downtown Lexington, Columbia, Irmo and Ballentine. We have a mosquito service that makes a huge difference in the enjoyment of the outdoors. Plenty of trees for shaded areas to sit outside around the tables and chairs or swings and enjoy the nice breeze from the lake.
