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.

Nice comfortable place. Very nice, responsive and accommodating hosts. Only issue was spa was a little dirty so we did not go in. Other than that everything was perfect!
Loved staying at Kerri and Randy’s place. It is exactly as described. It’s very quiet, beds and couches super comfy. The overall place is very clean and kitchen well stocked. Our family had a great time playing ping pong and pool, enjoyed the hot tub, firepit, and multiple yard games. Host were a pleasure to meet and non-intrusive but there if needed. Also super convenient to Columbia. This is our go to place now!
Very nice suite, well equipped kitchen. Comfortable living room. Relaxing deck for morning coffee. On Lake Murray with a dock. Very quiet and relaxing. Definitely recommend the sunset cruise
We came to Lexington for a wedding and chose to stay on the Lake and enjoy our Memorial Day long weekend. Our hosts Kerri and Randy were excellent! We enjoyed the views, the sunsets, hot tub, and their beautiful back yard.
Perfect place for our needs and more. Stayed with a friend and my two kids for the Masters. About one hour from the gates of Augusta National, this place is perfect for that purpose. The place is also very welcoming and clean, with some very nice people hosting. The hot tub in the backyard was perfect after walking a marathon at the Masters. Thanks for hosting us!!
We stayed at Lake Murray Paradise while I ran my ultra beast. It was a lovely relaxing place to recover after the race at. We enjoyed how quiet & peaceful it was. Our hosts were wonderful and answered any questions we had during our stay.
We had a restful stay in Columbia here - Kellie and Randy had labeled everything so clearly and had coffee and creamer and some incidentals available so that was nice.
The neighborhood was quiet and we rested well.
We really enjoyed our time here as a family of 4!
Everything was wonderful: the location, the house, the yard, the lake and last but not least the hosts! :)
Beautiful home with great views of the lake. The host was very hospitable and the house has a hot tub, pool table, and foosball. 10 out of 10 on the relaxing stay. Thanks for the hospitality.
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.
Pretty, well-kept and private. Randy (host) very congenial.
Evening trip to the purple martin roost rained out twice, but daytime good weather. Lots of fun for our 4yo - with swings and swimming with turtles and foozball.
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 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.
Great hosts, very peaceful to relax and so much to see within an hour's drive.
Kerry and Randy were very warm, welcoming and helpful. Even the neighbors were great. The unit was very comfortable, beds/linens were comfy soft. We enjoyed our conversations with Kerry and Randy and will be back sometime to see our daughter at USC! It's just 20 minutes from USC! You must see sunset at the damn, beautiful sunset. See you soon.
