About this property

Lake Keowee, golf, hike, mountains, waterfalls, pool, vacation wonderland 2 bdrm

•This villa is a comfortable, upper unit, 1000 (approx) square-foot lofted condo located in a boating, golf & fitness minded location in a Lake Keowee shoreline community in the SC foothills of the mountains. The lake can be accessed quickly as its only 5 minutes away within community. Keowee Key is a gated community with walking trails & is rated in the top 10 of like communities across the nation. I want you to feel like you have your very own vacation home to return to year after year! It’s located approximately 10 miles from Clemson, Seneca & Walhalla. and the lovely quaint towns of Cashiers and Highlands, NC are approx 30 mins away. Greenville and Asheville are an hour drive. Atlanta is a 1.5 hour drive away. GSP airport is an hour drive. Lake Jocassee, Tablerock state park and numerous waterfalls are minutes away.
•The community has 2 outdoor saltwater pools, one is within view and a one minute walk from my condo. The two outdoor swimming pools ARE NOW OPEN for the season! The community fitness center has a large indoor heated pool for use as well. You can have access to all the fitness center has to offer. I can help with court reservations

•You’ll have contactless entry with a key lock box at the door.

•On entry through the front door on the main floor you'll find a bedroom, laundry, bath, kitchen and large open living area flooded with light from the rear wall of windows.

•Upstairs, consist of a large carpeted loft bedroom overlooking the living area and the most comfortable bed! If you lay in bed and look out the loft to the wall of windows you feel like you’re in a tree house with all the nature in view.

•Though the rear door is a large deck with a nice view of the wooded scenery and the south side community pool, which is located just walking distance from the condo. Just grab one of the beach towels provided and walk over!

•The pool is complete with a covered cabana, sun loungers, shade umbrellas, bathrooms, tables & chairs and free WiFi. Our building is the closest to this pool! There is a larger pool located in the north side of our community at the north marina you may use. It has a fantastic view of the lake and offers gradual entry.
The heated indoor pool at the fitness center is open year round for use. In the locker rooms there is a hot tub available as well.

•Beach towels ARE provided and are visibly located in a large basket. Pool noodles are located in downstairs bedroom corner for your use as well.


•Directly in front of our building, steps away, is the South Flagship walking trail, which is paved and spans from the south entrance of the community to the club entrance, approximately 2+ miles in length. Great for early morning or evening strolls. There is another walking trail called the Leisure trail, alongside the lake on the north side of our community. Which your gate pass allows entry to as well. Just drive through the member side of gate with your pass. Everyone is so friendly, be sure to say hi or strike up a conversation!

In Seneca, 10 miles away, you can find grocery stores, tho right outside of our east gate there is a gas station, convenience store, spirits & wine store and a Dollar General for supplies not supplied. And a Subway restaurant is located outside that maintenance rd gate. Down the road near the dollar general is Mexican food truck restaurant.


•Do you play pickle-ball, bocce ball or shuffleboard? I can help reserve a court. (4) Pickle-ball rackets are available for your use in my unit.

• At the north marina you’ll find the larger outdoor pool along with a boating store where paddle boards and kayaks can be rented. If you’re at the North pool, various ice cream bars can be purchased inside the boating office to enjoy. (Credit card) pick up a pizza at the bistro and bring it with you to the pool!
The beginning of the north side walking trail around the lake is there too. It’s a lovely paved lakeside stroll. The leisure trail allows bikes if you choose to bring. Its 2+ miles long. Bicycles permitted on leisure trail.

•At the community fitness center you can use the fitness machines, play racquet ball, or use the indoor pool and hot tubs. There ‘may’ be a small fee for guests.

•This condo building has a small four spot parking lot. ONE spot for each unit in the building. (Please only use one. Parking for your second vehicle is just a short walk across the side road, in the other lot.)

Note: There is an added administration fee of $46, it covers the electronic gate pass issued by the community and their administrative services. (NOTE: If you will be bringing in two vehicles I will have to add an additional $26 to your total for the additional electronic gate pass for that additional vehicle.
Driver's license info, address and vehicle info will be requested from renter on each vehicle for the gate pass/passes processing. THE PASS CAN BE SAVED & REPROGRAMMED FOR FUTURE VISITS - so you'll want to hold on to it. Don’t toss it out.

Fantastic Memorial Day weekend getaway
We had such a wonderful time at Donna’s condo! The condo itself is beautiful and has everything you need. There were even a few games and coloring books/crayons for the kids. Donna has really thought of everything; supplying pool noodles, floats and beach towels! The quick walk to the pool is so nice, especially with young children. The 2 beach areas that we visited were clean and very child friendly. Everyone we met was friendly and nice to chat with. Donna is very easy to get in touch when you have questions and supplies a full list of area activities and restaurants. We can’t wait to come back!

Great experience, condo and trip
We had a wonderful stay! There's so much to do without ever leaving the stunning grounds and amenities of Keowee Key, and everyone we met was so friendly. We're looking forward to returning in warmer weather to explore the lake and surrounding area. The condo was in a great location next to a pool, and Donna went above and beyond with communications that introduced us to the community. Grandkids visited from Greenville and thoroughly enjoyed the sandy beach and playground near the North Marina. Great trip and experience.

Wedding weekend
I rented the condo or my son and his new bride for their wedding weekend. They were married at the Club at Keowee Key. The condo was very nice and well equipped and the host was responsive and easy to work with. She even left presents for the new couple! Would highly recommend the condo for any travels that bring you to Keowee Key or the surrounding area.

Great condo and location!
Great condo in area with lots to do - pool within walking distance, walking trails, very scenic near lake! We stayed the weekend while visiting daughter at Clemson and it was a short drive while offering us a chance to be out of the crazy expensive hotel setting near campus. Donna was very communicative and helpful and her condo was very welcoming. Great stay and we look forward to hopefully returning next time we are in town!

Relaxing Retreat
We had a lovely stay at the condo. Everything was clean and tastefully decorated. The space was very comfortable for two people and the location was fantastic. We wanted something kind of quiet and tucked away but not completely secluded. This fit perfectly. We knew there wouldn't be a lot of restaurants really close by so we brought groceries to cook a few meals there. The kitchen was well stocked with everything needed. Donna even had an impressive spice selection. But our favorite spot was the back deck. Even though other condos are located nearby, the deck had a very secluded and relaxing vibe. The community pool and walking trail were conveniently located to the condo. And Donna had lots of extras stocked at the condo such as pool towels and pickle ball equipment. We only wish we could have stayed long enough to try even more of the amenities at Keowee Key. Donna was a great host and she communicated with us before we arrived and sent a few ideas for things to do and also instructions for check in. She has definitely put a lot of thought into every detail. We really enjoyed our stay and are already planning another visit.

About the host

Hosted by Donna

Host profile image
Hi,
A few years ago I decided to downsize. So I sold my home, bought this cute villa condo so I could travel more. You also can enjoy it and all this location has to offer in my absence.

Why they chose this property

Location location location! Let it be your home base while you go have fun!
It’s situated right in the middle of so many outdoor activities. Hiking, waterfalls, tubing, boating/lake, mountains, Clemson! Not to forget there’s Asheville, the Biltmore Estate and the beautiful Georgia mountain region too. Quaint towns and wineries. Plus you can just walk right over to the pool from this condo. You can see it from my deck!
