About this property

The Emerald Den Oasis • 2BR near Ft Jackson & USC • Pet Friendly Hidden Gem

  • Veteran-owned. Two bedrooms. Built for real rest.

    Private entrance, free parking at the door, all-in-one washer/dryer inside, and verified 248 Mbps wifi. Self check-in, any hour.

    18 minutes to The Vista. 30 to Fort Jackson.

    🛋️ LIVING
    Deep sectional made for actually relaxing. Smart TV ready for your logins, plus a Nintendo Switch. Bluetooth ceiling speakers — let the room move with your vibe. Wall-mounted heat and air throughout.

    🍳 SMART KITCHEN
    Stainless GE appliances and a touchless faucet — set the handle, wave your hand, done. Induction cooktop. Dishwasher in the sink. Full cookware. Coffee station stocked.

    🧺 LAUNDRY
    All-in-one washer/dryer that dispenses its own detergent and softener. No detergent runs, no laundromat. Built for longer stays.

    🛏️ BEDROOMS & BATH
    Two private bedrooms, each with a queen bed and quality linens. Primary built for deep sleep — blackout curtains, ceiling fan. Full bath inside the primary.

    The art has a story. Ask, and you'll get it.

    Built for Fort Jackson families, travelling nurses, and contractors — anyone needing a quiet base for a week or a season. Weekly (7+ nights) and monthly (28+ nights) rates are built in.

    GOOD TO KNOW
    🚿 Bathroom location — the full bath sits inside the primary bedroom. Perfect for couples and families; worth knowing if you're booking as a group.
    👟 Urban nesting — part of a multi-unit building, so you may occasionally hear light movement from above.
    🚧 Outdoor space — exterior work in progress. Interior amenities and layout are exactly as shown; updated outdoor photos follow once it's done.
    🐾 Pets — welcome upon approval. Guests are responsible for cleaning up after them.
    👥 Guest count — 5 maximum, and all guests must be on the reservation.

    Two nights or two months — the space is yours and the privacy is real.

    Start slow. That's the Emerald way. 🌿

Our stay was excellent! The host was responsive and helpful throughout the booking and stay process. The apartment is clean and well appointed. Our son (9) appreciated the Nintendo Switch that was available for his use during our stay. The beds and couch are very soft! While the neighborhood may have been slightly sketchy in the past, it was quiet during our stay.

Great place to stay

We stopped on our way to South Carolina for the night. It was in a great location - quiet neighborhood. The host was always available when we had questions - no matter how big or small. He had recommendations for local restaurants and things to do. He thought of everything from coffee station to toiletries you may have forgotten. In a good location to the highway. This is a great place to stay for the night or for an extended stay.
