A lovely condo! Lots and lots of candles and fragrances throughout the apartment which was bright and clean as pictured. The balcony overlooks the golf course through a stand of pine trees -- beautiful with the morning sun! The property is slightly hilly and walkable with the indoor pool/ rec center a few minutes drive away. Parking was ample, right off the main road which stayed noticeably busy during business hours, quieting down at night. Safe and enjoyable stay -- thank you to the hosts!

Couple stay

My husband and I stayed here for a few nights while moving our son into Clemson. It was perfectly fine for the two of us. Overlooking the 11th hole. Tastefully decorated and well equipped. The bathroom was pretty small but otherwise it was perfectly fine for our needs.

Great location for a fun area to visit

Stayed with my family and enjoyed golf, swimming in multiple pools and the lake, as well as boat rental. Terrific location and easy to walk to a small pool. Plan on getting the food/groceries you need from the nearby town because there's only a Dollar General to run out to nearby.

Weekend Stay

Check-in and access was very easy. The condo was very clean and had what we needed for a long weekend. It had a nice deck that you could sit out on and enjoy. The bathroom is very small, but it was fine for our stay. We appreciated the guest access to the smart tv! We would stay there again.

Great Stay

I truly enjoyed my stay! Communication with the owners was easy, and the condo was very clean. The view off the deck included beautiful pines and a great view of the # 12 green. The bed was comfy, and the linens were soft and inviting. Nothing was hard to figure out-- TV, coffee, HVAC, etc. I will be back!!!

Great Place

The condo was very clean and modern. Furniture and decor are lovely. They did a great job designing. Access was seamless. The community is lovely. Unfortunately we didn’t get to take advantage of the pools or golfing around, or beautiful lakes in the area as we had rainy weather, but everything looked incredible. As mentioned in other reviews, one bedroom and the other 3 beds are on the upstairs loft open to the downstairs area of the house. Beds are on the firmer side, so soft-bed-lovers beware. Overall great stay. Would stay again

Quick Weekend Stay

This rental was as described in listing. We had two adults and two teens and it was plenty of space for us for a short stay. Only one bathroom does get tight for a longer stay. The loft sleeping was also fine for a short stay. It does get very bright up there early with it being open to the large windows so its not great for multiple nights or find a way to cover with blanket or something. Overall - great place to stay / lovely view of golf course / kitchen had everything we needed. Didnt know if we were arriving after 7 you had to call the patrol to get in and then get your access info the next day. It wasnt an issue and the response from the agent was quick and accurate.

Condo Captains Walk Circle

Our overall stay was good. The condo was clean and kitchen necessities well stocked. Beds were comfortable. Great balcony with gas grill and nice view of the golf course. A two-minute walk to one of the community pools and walking trails galore. The beach access was difficult to find and no signs. Once we found it, there was not any parking available (very limited parking). Negatives was that the security gate officer did not have our gate passes / package once we arrived. He said that he had not received any information about our stay. He gave us temporary passes until I could get in touch with our host and get the issue resolved (which was the following day, since we arrived in the evening). Also, the showerhead had very little water pressure. There were 5 of us staying so one bathroom was a bit difficult but expected.

Cozy & Comfortable Cabin in the Woods!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this bright & cozy little cabin. The decor is stylish & perfect for the setting. The beds were comfy, the recliner was perfect for curling up with a book, and the deck offered a great spot for our morning coffee & evening cocktail! Communication with the owner couldn’t have been better. Keowee Key is a great resort that offers so much you don’t need to leave but if you do there are cute restaurants & shops within 10-15 minutes. We will definitely be back!

Quiet Condo in the Pines

Nice, comfortable and clean condo with 5 different beds to sleep on, of different sizes and firmness likely to suit everyone. View of golf course and tall pine trees, parking space as close as it gets. Wifi, cable and Roku if weather keeps you indoors. Close to pool (walking distance), and if you use the club, youre on the right side of Keowee Key for that also. Note to larger families: except for master, beds are all open to the entire condo so most would need to go to bed/wake up around same time. Kind and responsive owner. Would rent again.
