Another amazing stay!

This is our second summer vacationing at Pirate’s retreat! It’s definitely a home away from home with everything you could possibly need. Everything is well kept down to even the fluffy bath towels. No detail has been overlooked at this rental and once again we had an amazing time! The extra fridge and extra deep freezer are such a bonus for us, the rooms are spacious, beds are cozy, the kitchen has it all, and the lake is the most pristine! We are once again so pleased with our stay here and can’t wait for next summer to do it again!

Another fantastic year at Pirate's Retreat!

Really a perfect location in so many ways: quiet, private cove, close to supermarkets, close to Keowee Marina for boat rental and east-facing for beautiful sunrises and afternoon shade. The hosts are awesome and the property is super-clean, full of toys and just perfect for a week or two at the lake!

Great stay

We stayed at the Pirates Retreat with friends for a long weekend with a Clemson football game. The location on the lake is awesome and the house was super clean and well equipped. There was always some kind of competition going on between the teenagers and adults ;) We would love to come back and hope to take advantage of the kayaks next time. Definitely a 5 star stay !

Relaxing weekend

We spent a wonderful, relaxing weekend while celebrating our Clemson daughter’s ring ceremony. The house was exactly as described. So clean and bright with a wonderful wall of windows facing the lake. The family room was larger than we expected and very comfortable. Communication with Susan was easy, and she was quick to respond to some questions I had. We really enjoyed the kayaks and the lift/rack you have made it so easy to use and stow them versus lugging them to the lake from a garage. I highly recommend this property.

Over the Top

We take a lake vacation every year with our adult children and this was, by far, the best vacation and setting we’ve visited thus far. It was idyllic. The house sits on a wide cove with a tree covered campground across the cove( so nice not to be looking at other docks and houses.) The lake was clear and the yard gently sloping down to the dock. We swam from the dock, kayaked ( owner supplied) and paddle boarded all over the place. We had delicious meals from the grill and enjoyed the fans on the covered porch. The game room was a blast. We played foos ball, basketball and Tripoli. There is even an extra refrigerator in the game room. The house was clean, comfortable and well appointed. Communication with the owner was prompt and courteous. This will not be our only trip to Pirates Retreat! Thank you for a great vacation!

Doesn’t get better than this!

Property was so clean, updated, and had all the comforts of home. We had an amazing weekend! The water was so clear and clean, off the front of the dock is about 10ft deep so it’s deep enough for a good diving contest without scooping up the bottom! We rented a boat from the Keowee Marina conveniently located nearby. Adults and teens had a blast and we left our high score of 450 on the double shot hoop! So much fun and we will for sure be back!

Perfect Vacation

The home was exactly as photographed and described. Our kids absolutely loved the game room and the big living room. We spent tons of time fishing off the dock, floating around the dock, playing cornhole and roasting marshmallows. The home is everything a mom with two young kids could want. Clean, comfortable, convenient and entertaining! We plan to go again next year:)

Susan, the lake house was perfect! My friend brought his boat and we launched it with ease at South Cove Park. The doc was perfect. The birthday party was great. We had about 21 come visit during the day. We enjoyed the fire pit at night and the house was great. Plenty of room. Loved the lake house decor. We will definitely keep you in mind for future lake trips. You have been a great host! Take care

Family celebration getaway

We absolutely loved our stay at Pirate’s Cove. The location on the lake is great for children because it’s tucked away in a quiet cove. The house was clean and well stocked. The kids also loved the game room. Another plus was how close it is to south cove park, which we enjoyed the tennis & pickle ball courts. (Which they also have racquets at the house!) over all ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Memories on Memorial Day!

Pirate's Retreat was the perfect property for our vacation. A quiet cove, but not isolated from all the fun. Two adults and an 8 year old. Swimming and fishing off the dock, and riding around in the kayaks kept our son completely entertained for our trip. The home's theme and decorations were great. The house was very clean, and well stocked (in case you forgot something). The gameroom and boardgames at the house made for some fun times when the weather wasn't great. The host was awsome. She quickly responded to all of my questions and helped to make our visit very relaxing. We took lots of pictures, but we will be back to make more memories.
