About this property

Closest to pool - and free use of our canoe!

DISCOVER BEAUTIFUL AND AFFORDABLE KEOWEE KEY! A great private getaway or wonderful quiet vacation spot - with 3 pools (2 outdoor, 1 heated indoor), 14 lighted tennis courts, 4 lighted pickle ball courts, 2.7 mile lakeside leisure trail, 2.5 mile wooded walking trail, lakeside beaches, shuffleboard, marinas (with boat, kayak, paddleboard rentals), and more! Keowee Key, located in South Carolina's "Golden Corner" in the foothills, has been called "the hidden gem of the South." Ideal-living editors chose Keowee Key Golf and Country Club as one of the BEST LAKE COMMUNITIES, BEST BOATING COMMUNITY AND BEST COLLEGE TOWN COMMUNITY in 2016.

This charming 2BR/1BA condo unit in the popular Captain's Walk section of Keowee Key has just been refurbished and is the closest condo to any pool in the entire resort community. The "Southside" pool, adjacent to this unit, has been recently renovated with brand new pool deck, cabana, & bathrooms. The all new South Flagship Walking Trail, which stretches from the South Gate to the Club Gate,(about 2 miles) is literally steps from this front door.

This ground floor end unit has easy access with no stairs, and convenient parking at the end of the sidewalk. Our building has only 4 units and is situated off to itself near the pool, so it feels very private and not too clustered in with other buildings. A patio shade on one end of the deck adds even more privacy.

You will be nestled between the pines in a comfortable and refreshed interior. Our renovations include all new flooring throughout, fresh paint throughout, new HVAC, new appliances, and updated bathroom, making this space fresh for our guests' enjoyment, while still cozy and charming. You will have a lovely shaded outdoor deck (approx 20'x5'), where we have finished off the "ceiling" so that you'll have covered enjoyment and a little protection from rain -- what a great way to start your day!

We live in the community (about 300 yards away) and also use this for our family & friends, so we've putting a lot of TLC into it to make it comfortable and inviting, like part of our home. (Our other properties are Vrbo 723258 and Vrbo 1043239 if you want to read our reviews there - or if you also want to consider a trip to Asheville).

We are happy to let you use our canoe, which is on a rack at one of the neighborhood picnic/marina areas. We also have life vests in the condo. We want your stay to be as fun filled and relaxed as possible, and getting out on the lake in the canoe is wonderful for that. For that, we our decor is relaxed and comfortable - a place where you can put your feet up without worrying!

This retreat is only 2 hours from Atlanta or Charlotte, 1-1/2 hour from Asheville, NC or less than 1 hour from Greenville, SC. Many fantastic waterfalls are within a short drive, as well as the Chattooga River with world class whitewater where there are professional guides that will take you down the river! A short drive will take you to the lovely mountain towns of Cashiers and Highlands for hiking, antique shopping, dining and mountain fun. For your everyday needs such as grocery, Seneca or Walhalla are each an easy 11+/_ miles away. The charming college town of Clemson, SC - and the beautiful Clemson University campus are 14 miles away, also an easy, no-traffic drive. PERFECT FOR TIGER TAILGATING!

We didn't get to enjoy any of the pools or anything around because we were there for a celebration of life that was at another place. It was a good place for us to stay because it was close to where we had to go.

Great Stay!

This property was perfect for our stay. We stayed here while looking at properties around the Lakes. Everything is exactly as described in a beautiful location. Sherri was great in communicating with us as needed, she went out of her way in communicating with our friends/family back home to set up a care package for us. I would definitely recommend this property.

Perfect location!

This property has a great location next to the pool. We enjoyed going to the pool with our 3 YO on our visit. The owners are amazing to work with, especially since our stay ended up being way more complicated than we had planned. Added plus, the deposit refund happened within just a few days of our visit. Thanks!

1st time at this location-Buck and Pam Stevens

All was excellent!! Special kudos to Sherri-she was responsive and helpful each time I called during the booking and stay. The setting was relaxing and neighbors very friendly. No complaints, but it is a long drive (9-10 hrs.). We were fortunate to have reasonable traffic and no construction delays. All a great experience.

Okay for the price

Basic Condo with all the necessary items to enjoy your stay. Sherri was very accommodating but the cleanliness of the condo was subpar. Needs a thorough cleaning, especially floors/baseboards and a new shower liner. Also, toilet paper is given out one roll at a time which is from the pandemic, but honestly, I don't want to call every day to get a new roll. We had 4 people and there weren't any tissues, so the TP went fast. We bought our own. Like I said, Sherri was very nice and accommodating but too many things we didn't want to deal with on vacation.

Lacking

The back porch was so thick with leaves I thought I was going to be snake bit. Coffee table is glass & serious trip hazard. No wash cloths provided. Contact stated she was not providing such as they get stained by makeup. No trash bags provided. Fridge was terribly dirty. Back bedroom is freezing while rest is comfortable. Was confirmed to stay another day but was then asked to leave asap as new tenants were on their way.

Cozy condo ideal for two

This condo was the perfect size for my husband and myself. We almost invited another couple but I’m glad we didn’t because it would have been tight and there wouldn’t have been much privacy. The 2nd bedroom would work best for a child. The kitchen was well stocked and we had no problem cooking our meals there. While the condo isn’t new, it has charm and is cozy. We enjoyed the electric fireplace. It was our first stay at Lake Keeowee community and we fell in love with it. People are so friendly and welcoming! We joined the fitness center for our month stay. I liked the yogipalates class and enjoyed the hot tub and sauna. There is so much to do within the area. We hiked almost every day to waterfalls, lakes and mountain summits. There are numerous wineries, distilleries and breweries in the area. Also you’re about a 1/2 hr to Georgia and North Carolina so close enough for day trips. I highly recommend Lake Keeowee. Be sure to take the canoe out and also walk the 2 1/2 mile trail by the lake, especially at night with the lights.

About the host

Hosted by Sherri

Host profile image
We are Bill and Sherri. We purchased our "forever home" in Keowee Key in 2017 and are now full time residents, in a house closeby to the condo. After our first visit to this casual resort style community, we knew we wanted to be here. This condo purchase came in 2018 and we have enjoyed hosting many guest as well as family there.

Why they chose this property

Our home is only about 300 yards away from this condo. With 5 grown children between us (blended "modern family"), we thought this place could be great for our overflow family and friends, knowing that they too would want to spend time in this great hidden gem of a community.

What makes this property unique

Closest to pool! This is great if you have children, or if you just want to be able to pop back to the condo to refresh your beverage or snacks. We have tried to make it a "home-away-from-home" that is stylish, yet not too fancy to put your feet up and relax in.

Being on the ground level and not on a step hill, with parking at the end of the sidewalk is also a convenience, especially when carrying groceries, etc. This lower level also offers a covered deck and front porch - and we have take the extra step of finishing the ceilings so that there is protection from rain. It makes for a wonderful calm space to sit and listen to the rain drops fall -- or have some shade in the hot days of summer. These lower level condos also have 2 distinct bedrooms with doors, rather than an open loft for second bedroom, if more privacy is desired.
