If you’re looking for a marina and neighborhood that go above and beyond, Keowee Key is it!
Was nice. Beach area clean comfortable. I didn't like how murky and slimy bottom was though. Guess past storms created this. Pool was amazing Restaurants were expensive but tasty. Our Airbnb was gorgeous, spacious and kept up very nice. We had everything and more needed.
Great place to rent a boat. The pool is nice, but often crowded. Wish they had a third pool.
What a beautiful, relaxing place to spend a few days! Easy access to the lake, with a couple islands within kayaking distance from the shore. The pool is convenient and provides scenic views of the lake.
This is a private members only Marina. You gotta be a member to buy gas. I coasted in there one morning running on fumes, not knowing this and they were nice enough to sell me a couple gallons of gas to get me to the next marina. The gentleman working in the office was very pleasant and helpful. Five stars for being a good human being.
