Great location right on the water

We were visiting for a fishing tournament. Location to green pond was so convenient. House accommodated our two families perfectly. Easy boat parking and the water was beautiful. Kids loved the kayaks, paddle boards and canoes. If we are lucky enough to make it back to the national championship next year… we would definitly stay here again.

Southern Charm

This rental property was exactly what I hoped it would be!! It was located, not far from where I grew up in South Carolina and easily accessible. VRBO properties that I have rented in the past have not exactly lived up to what the pictures portray as far as cleanliness and being well maintained. THIS PROPERTY WAS EXACTLY WHAT THE OWNERS DESCRIBED! This property was clean inside and had all the necessities anyone could possibly need. The outside property was well maintained. The boating dock served well for fishing everyday even though no fish were caught, the thrill of fishing was all that was needed. I would certainly recommend this property to anyone looking for comfort, cleanliness, and affordability! A BIG THANK YOU TO RENEE!!

Beautiful lake view. Beds were very comfortable. Had a hard time finding the water heater (in the 2nd bathroom above toilet in a small cabinet), but the owner was very prompt in answering my voicemail.

Nice location. There is a resturant called "The Local" right around the corner on the Lake.

Nice Lake front property. Lots of room and easy access to the boat dock. Owners were always very helpful and quick to reply. Would recommend the "Making Waves" property for your family fun.

Fun times

Property is located on a quiet cove on a quiet street. We enjoyed the kayak, canoe and wish we had rented the pontoon boat. The fire pit was a hit! Owner has made many updates to the home including bathrooms and kitchen. New paint throughout the home was very cheerful. We enjoyed dinner at The Local Pub and Eatery located very close to property. Owner was very accommodating and we enjoyed our short stay.

Cute and Quiet Lakefront Beauty

We loved this house and would definitely stay again. The owners were amazingly responsive to all of our needs and went out of their way to make sure our stay was enjoyable. The location is on a quiet inlet of the lake, but we had great access when using the pontoon boat we rented from the owners. We enjoyed fishing from the dock and exploring the area. The house was clean and well stocked with everything we needed for our stay. We would absolutely rent this house again.

Vacation!!!

We really enjoyed our stay at Making Waves! The house was very clean and comfortable. We did have an issue with the kitchen sink, but we contacted the home owner and he came and repaired it within a couple of hours! My husband and 4yr grandson caught some nice fish off the dock!! We did rent the Pontoon boat from the owners and that was awesome!! We had a Great Week!!

Great time at the lake

This was a perfect lake vacation for our family. We rented the pontoon and had great time exploring Lake Hartwell. The house provided just as much fun swimming in the cove and endless foosball tournaments with the boys. The owners are very nice and easy to communicate with.

Beautiful Location on Lake Hartwell

This is a cute home with lake access and a dock in a quiet area. It has a large yard leading down to the lake. We rented the pontoon boat from Troy and Renee and also made use of the brand new paddle boards. The home had everything needed for a great time on the lake! Anderson, SC is close by and offers many options for eating out for dinner. We look forward to staying again! Troy and Renee went well above and beyond as hosts!

Waterfront charm

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cute waterfront home. Highly recommend renting the pontoon boat during your stay. We were on the lake all 3 days of our stay. We were able to make our lunch and enjoy it at one of the private island beaches located around the lake. The evenings were spent relaxing. We had dinner out one night and the town is a short distance away. There are also several marinas in the area that were fun to visit. The house was clean and had everything we needed. We'd stay here again.

Excellent

This home is nicely appointed with everything needed to stay comfortably and to enjoy the beautiful lake. The home was exceptionally clean upon arrival. The beds are comfortable with ample linens for the bath. The kitchen has nothing missing as well. There’s a gas grill and a charcoal grill for your needs. It’s a short walk to the dock and beautiful views from the very quiet slough. The air conditioning worked perfectly for our stay. I would recommend this home for your stay, and I will return if the opportunity arises. The renter was very responsive prior to check in. There were no issues during our 4 day stay, so thankfully we did not find it necessary to have problems resolved. I give my recommendation that this is a GREAT property to stay in during a trip to Lake Hartwell.
