About this property
Closest to pool - A cozy spot with no steps!
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 pontoon boat, kayak, canoe, 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 updates include LVP flooring throughout, crisp whitewash paint, newer HVAC & appliances, and refreshed bathroom, making this space fresh for our guests' simple enjoyment, while still cozy and charming. Our unit is NOT luxury finishes, but set up to just feel comfortable and relaxed.
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!
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!

Beautiful area with such sweet, helpful hosts! They made sure we had everything we need. Check-in process was so easy. We had such a relaxing time! Hope to come back one day.
Overall a great stay. The condo was cozy and was close to the pool and a very short drive to the marina. Great Lake community. We had fun renting paddle boards and a boat!
This was our second time staying at this property. It is clean, well appointed and the area is so pretty and peaceful. We were in town for Family weekend at Clemson. It was an easy drive to campus. We would definitely stay here again.
We stayed here while we looked at properties in the community. The place checked all of our boxes and it made it very easy to jump on the walking trail daily. Nice updates and appliances.
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.
This was a phenomenal place to stay. The pool was right behind us. There was plenty of extra activities to do with the kids. The owner was very responsive to all my questions and that is HUGE!! I will definitely look at coming here again.
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.
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!

I'm so glad you had an enjoyable trip. Come back any time!
Sherri is quick to answer messages. Keowee Key community stay includes a lot of amenities: 2 pool, Marina, stunning fitness gym w/classes, golf, tennis, pickle ball, bocce, shuffleboard, dog park. The unit was adequate for our stay at a reasonable price right next to the smaller pool. There are neighbors above and on the side so must be mindful about noise.
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.

Area and location are great however the cleanliness left a lot to be desired. The online pictures are deceiving. Very disappointing.

I am so sorry that the condo did not live up to your expectations, but wish that you had let me know upon arrival or during your stay that there was a problem and I would have immediately remedied it. I live closeby and always try to make sure our guests have what they need and have a good stay.
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.

I am so sorry that the accommodations did not live up to expectations and we will make sure special attention is paid to the items you noted. The shower liner had been replaced a couple of weeks before your stay. In summer, it may get tiny markings on it, as we live on the edge of a temperate rain forest, or it may have water droplet marks, but I did come over and bleach and wipe it down fully for you almost immediately when you called and I hope that helped.
As for the toilet paper, I note in my info that I supply "starter" paper supplies - a roll of pt and 2 rolls of tp. This is very typical of vacation rentals supplies. I brought you another roll as soon as you called (which was right after you checked in so you couldn't have been too put out), and also gave you a refund of some of your money for your being displeased. (There were indeed tissues in the drawer in bedroom).
I tried very hard to accommodate all your needs and I'm SO sorry if I failed, as I want everyone to have a good time. I do hope you enjoyed your time in KK even if the condo wasn't quite to your expectations.
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.
