When hunger calls, head into the fully equipped kitchen, where culinary convenience meets style.
Modern appliances, a handy dishwasher, a drip and Keurig coffeemaker, and gleaming Corian countertops provide everything you need to create a delicious breakfast. Once your meal is ready, gather around the elegant dining table and enjoy your breakfast while gazing through the large
windows, watching the world awaken to a fresh new day.

Lovely home with host who thought of everything

Keowee Key has it all and Tarah made our stay even better. We brought our pups with us and were greeted with dog biscuits and an immaculate condo, perfectly appointed. There was so much room to spread out, everything we needed, and just a cozy lake living vibe. We enjoyed time in the lake, on the porch(es), and winding down on the sofa at night. Couldnt ask for anything more. Thanks, Tarah we loved it!

Simply put...This place is amazing! We traveled from Michigan to use our boat on Lake Keowee and Lake Jocassee and cannot recommend it enough due to the location to both lakes, all the facilities at Keowee Key, proximity to hiking trails, the home itself and the host. We are a family of five which includes three teenagers and the home had all we needed and the host is very attentive. It was perfect for our active family!The lake is amazing to get on with a boat. Plenty of places with little to no traffic for all you watersport interests. There are waterfalls to visit and rocks to jump off for some adventures as well as some great views to simply see while cruising and restaurants to pull up to. The lake water is clean and plenty deep to not worry about where you go and the potential of damaging your boat. Staying at this home in particular has some great advantages over other areas at Keowee Key. You are in walking distance to the dry storage area to keep you boat overnight if you plan to launch it each day as opposed to using a slip. Since the facility is all keyed access, you can feel safe leaving your boat and trailer in storage. You are also close to the south marina to drop it in easily. The marina launch is not busy. It has a very nice launch set up and great dock to use and there is temporary parking for your car and trailer during the day. If you go here, I would definitely recommend visiting Lake Jocassee for at least a day as well.

We had a great stay at this Lake Keowee home. The home was beautiful and clean. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay with a family of six. The kids enjoyed the on site amenities such as ping pong, darts and poker games. The property amenities (including a pool, tennis courts and fishing dock) are a 10 minute walk using the walking trail that is located nearby. The location was great - under 30 minutes to Clemson University for my daughter's move-in. Under 20 minutes to shopping and food options.

Had a wonderful stay at this property. Only 15 minutes from Lake Jocassee. Check I process was a little confusing. Directions had 2 different ways in accessing South Entrance. Of course I took the wrong entrance for members. Directions said if you had Waze to enter Keowee Key South so I did. I should have taken Rochester Hwy. Tarah was awesome and responded to my call and led me to the correct entrance. If you access member gate will not open. Bedrooms were good size and the kids liked the treadle beds. AC was great and a tad bit cold on the lower level. We kept door open which helped. Kitchen was well stocked but a little small. We had access to 2 pools. Wish we knew kayak closed at 4p but we will for next time. Alway love having a washer and dryer. We brought our dog and he even had a good time. I wish we had a map of where different areas were. I think it would be good to have this by the tourist information. We had to ask around and Julie from Keowee administration was very helpful. Tarah’s communication was excellent. She usually responded right away. Thank you Tarah for your hospitality. Also have to mention that the game room downstairs was great adults and kids really enjoyed.

Lake Keowee Vacation

We had a great time in this condo - 3 levels of living so everyone had their own space and the main and lower level are great gathering places as well. Work area on the top floor too. Right across from a dog walking area that was great for our dog. Highly recommend.

Fantastic Family Vacation Spot

If I could give this 6 ⭐️, I would. Overall it’s a great setup for a family of four. Three level condo with each level having a bedroom and en-suite. The Keowee Key complex is easy going with pools, golf course, and a restaurant. Proximity to the lake was a bonus for “boat day”. The host was super with communication and as hard as I tried, we couldn’t find anything that was over looked. The place was stocked to hilt. Literally, bring some groceries and get started with vacay! We would definitely return. This is a VRBO keeper!
