Keowee Key is a friendly 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 1.5-2 hour drive away. GSP airport is an hour drive. Lake Jocassee, Tablerock state park and numerous waterfalls are minutes away.
•The two OUTDOOR swimming POOLS in the community are now OPEN! The outdoor pools are saltwater & one is just steps away from the condo, grab a beach towel out of the basket and walk over! 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

Cozy condo

The cozy condo and quiet location was just what we needed. The pool was close but it never got noisy. Great neighborhood with a nice walking tail right out the front door. Donna responded very quickly to our questions and provided extensive information about the community. Ample kitchen basics and some special touches- she asked what we liked in our coffee and made it available. Overall, a very nice stay.

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.

Host profile image
Hi,
A few years ago I decided to downsize. So I sold my home, bought this cute villa 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. Virtually a vacation wonderland. Plus you can just walk right over to the pool from this condo. You can see it from my deck!

What makes this property unique

It has personality! Centrally located among numerous areas of enchantment and fun things to do, not to mention the community amenities you have access to use.
