Swim and Dive NCAA

The condo was perfect for our family (18+) while staying in Athens for the Women’s Swimming NCAAs. The listing online is accurate, the host is outstanding, the location is close to UGA and restaurants, there is plenty of space for everyone to spread out and the games were super fun! Hoping to stay here again!

Beyond my expectations

We stayed two nights, bedding and pillows were supremely comfortable, interesting artifacts everywhere you looked. The listing was accurate, in person the decor and comfort of the home was superior to the listing. Will stay here when we visit Athens again.

Church Condo in Athens

We rented the condo to accommodate our family and friends for my son’s wedding.. it was a perfect place to re-connect with our loved ones. The teenagers as well as the adults enjoyed all the games. Plenty of supplies, sheets, towels. We didn’t want for anything. It was a GREAT time for us all! The owner was very accommodating for all our needs.

The Church

Great living area. Interesting place. I was under the impression the futon was in an enclosed room but it is not. Two huge bedrooms and downstairs small bedroom. Worked for us except the open futon room. I would highly recommend for 3 couples and extras who don’t mind sleeping in open areas. Would stay there again! Thank you Carl.

Lovely, beautifully appointed condo near downtown Athens

This townhome, in a converted church, is simply lovely. Quiet, idyllic setting. Beautifully appointed (as my 11 year old described it), with wonderful owner and property manager. One of, if not the best, VRBO I have stayed in. Five stars!

UGA visit

We were 2 families visiting our daughters at UGA and the property was perfect for us! The house was clean and beautiful, there was plenty of room to spread out and everything we could have possibly needed for our stay. The owner, Carl, was easy to communicate with and the entire process was seamless. Will definitely be back!
