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!

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.

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

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.
