Beachfront holiday rentals in Upstate South Carolina

Nice trip on a beautiful lake with loved ones.

Our family and our two dogs really enjoyed our stay. Thank you! We would definitely want to book again if we are back in the area for an extended stay.

We enjoyed our stay at Kim's place. It was very convenient to our son's wedding venue on Lake Fairfield. The area is so beautiful and Kim's place was very clean, well appointed and updated. It was easy to find and easy to access per the directions. Kim was always responsive to any questions I had and the clear communication was appreciated. We would definitely book again.

We had a great time! My kids loved going on the canoe in the pond. We also loved going to the pool after a day out apple picking and hiking. The mornings are also peaceful sitting on the porch with a cup of coffee listening to the waterfall.

Really felt as comfortable as being home. Loved all the labels on light switches and helpful hints throughout to make the stay easy. Probably the best stocked rental on the market- everything you need for your stay. And greatly appreciated the cold waters in the mini fridge and we used them all- again thank you!!! Great place to stay and have a little view of the Lake.

What a very enjoyable stay. We needed a place last minute to evacuate our home in FL for a hurricane. Janice and Nathan responded immediately and had the place ready for us when we arrived. It was perfect for what we needed and our two dogs loved it with the fenced in yard. If you have pets and want to get away….this is the spot!!! Place was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The view from the back porch is amazing and when you walk down to the water it takes all your stresses away. We will certainly be back!

We booked Greg and Lisa's place because it was very near to family we were visiting at Christmas. And, even though it was right in the middle of the busiest Holiday season Greg and Lisa were very responsive with any request or questions we had. We were quite pleasantly surprised to see the kitchen is more well equipped than how it appears in the photos. There is a new 2 burner induction cooktop as well as a small countertop oven. We were eating with family elsewhere, but I feel I could have prepared a full meal in the kitchen if I had needed or wanted to. We also appreciated how comfy the big sectional sofa was. It was perfect for cuddling and watching a movie with our daughter whom we hadn't seen for a long time. Thanks Greg and Lisa! We will probably be back!

Oh my gosh, this place exceeded our expectations, and the hosts are fantastic to boot. We’ll definitely be booking another stay soon!

My husband and I needed some much-needed R&R and that is just what we got at this beautiful home. Loved the decor, the super comfortable couch and bed! We never made it to the Jacuzzi tub; however, the open shower was cool! Would defiantly recommend this romantic spot.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful house! The breathtaking mountain view was unbelievable, and the house itself was so cozy and comfortable, with comfy furniture and beds. The kitchen had everything we needed, even for our large group. Having access to Rumbling Bald was a fantastic bonus – we really enjoyed the indoor pool and mini-golf. Communication with the host was excellent, and check-in was smooth. We highly recommend this house for a peaceful family retreat. The only downside? Our kid was so sad when it was time to leave!!! Thank you, Kathleen, we will definitely come back.

This was a great house to stay at. Very comfortable and home like. Loved the view and the large deck. Had everything we needed including toys for kids. Good area, near lots of stuff to do including using the resort amenities, restaurants, waterfalls and shopping. Would stay again.

Loved staying in this well appointed condo with lovely finishes and amenities. We would absolutely stay here again.

I can’t say enough wonderful comments about the Sapphire Jewel. The condo is quiet, well appointed, with beautiful, comfortable furniture and everything you need. It was a perfect home away from home for us for our almost 3 week stay. The beds are extremely comfortable, WiFi is fast, and the community is very friendly. When you sit out in the screened in porch, it feels like you are floating in the trees. Our family was able to work, relax and use the condo as a peaceful home base. The amenities were great, we loved taking advantage of the gym and fishing daily in the private lake. Elizabeth is very responsive and makes sure you have everything you need. If you want to explore this beautiful area, you will be very happy if you choose to stay at the Sapphire Jewel.

A Perfect Family Getaway in the Sapphire/Cashiers Area! This cabin was everything we could’ve hoped for and more! It’s incredibly spacious yet cozy—perfect for a family retreat. Thoughtfully stocked with everything you might need (and then some!), it made our stay effortless and comfortable. The location is ideal for exploring the natural beauty of North Carolina, and the nearby community amenities—just 8 minutes away—were a fantastic bonus that took our experience to the next level. A huge shoutout to the owner, who was exceptionally responsive and proactive with helpful suggestions throughout our stay. His attention and involvement made a real difference, and we’re so grateful. We had an absolute blast with our five kids and created memories we’ll cherish. Highly, highly recommended!

Donna was quite proactive in reaching out to us before and during our stay. She is personable and kind.

Great place to stay. The lake was still not back up and running due to a natural disaster but that did not stop us from enjoying the pools and outdoor activities!

This was a fabulous space - clean, comfortable, spacious, GORGEOUS lake view! I can highly recommend this experience.

Jonathan was a great host, very responsive and helpful throughout. His instructions were very clear and he was always friendly. The place is lovely. The neighborhood is peaceful, the lake is beautiful, the view is great. The house was immaculate, super clean and nicely decorated without having too many things. The mattresses were the best we've slept on in any airBnB, by far! The private dock is wonderful, with chairs and water toys, it was such a joy to spend time there at all times of day.

Awesome place!! Perfect location in the middle of Lake Keowee. Owners were so fun to meet! Will definitely stay again!

Stayed for about 3 weeks for work and enjoyed the area. Very peaceful location right on the water. Felt right at home the whole time

What a wonderful trip for a reunion with my friends. Leon was very responsive and everything at the house was accurately advertised. My group would definitely book here again. Thanks Leon!

Host, Marianne, was so welcoming and texted us before and after our stay to make sure we had everything that we needed! This cabin seems very new, was very clean, and has all the amenities you need for a secluded getaway. It was the perfect size and setup for our family of three and even with rain most of our days, the screened-in porch offered a great way to be outside and listening to the rain on the tin roof was amazing! Note that there is no wifi, but that almost made the vacation better for us.

Staying at Melinda and Andy’s at Lake Lure is our family’s favorite summer tradition. This is our fifth summer and we look forward to it all year. Kayaking, floating, and swimming on the lake; family games and meals on the porch; seeing turtles, swimming with ducks, and catching lizards; outings to Chimney Rock, Asheville, and Black Mountain; hiking, lying or reading on the daybed porch swing; making a fire for s’mores lakeside. This is a special place and we are grateful to have made so many family memories here.

Great location in proximity to Southern Oaks wedding venue. House was as described in pics with a wonderful porch to sit and enjoy the beautiful view of the lake. No issues other than water pressure. Would stay there again and again.
