- Why is the Camden side preferred? For the amazing sunsets, of course! 



- Why are lake's coves desirable? Way less noise, less boats, easier swimming, better fishing, more birdlife and quieter, calmer waters. A savvy renters looks for a cove!

- 5 mins to Wateree Recreational Area & Dollar General (a very good one) that will have what you forgot;



- 4 miles to Wateree Marina (largest area marina);



- 10 mins to Bear's Den (waterfront bar) & Dock 97 (upscale lakefront dining);



- 15 mins to Carolina Cup, Colonial Cup Horse Races & Springdale Race Course;

The location is amazing. It's right on the water, quiet, has great views (yes the sunset really is amazing). It can be a little confusing to find if you're looking for house numbers, but the directions given by the host made it very simple, and Google Maps took us right to the house either wayThe house needs some updating, but nothing major. The towel bar in the bathroom is not secured to the wall and falls off as soon as you try to use it. There is not a lot of space in the bathroom, and not having a towel rack accentuated that. One of the lamps in the master bedroom needs the switch replaced, as it just spins freely when you try to turn it on. The covered porch provides great views of the cove, and the rest of the house served exactly what we were looking for to have a relaxing weekend.Our biggest surprise was that the boat ramp and dock were most definitely not private. It's possible nobody else SHOULD have been using it, but multiple other houses in the cove were using both during our stay. Everybody was plenty polite so no issues there, but if you're expecting an actual private dock/boat ramp, you may want to confirm that prior to booking.

Nice Place

If 2 beds/1 bath is a fit for your group and both pet & boat friendly are important to you, this home is one of the better options at Lake Wateree. Privacy is lacking but it's a trade off we were willing to make for the many positive amenities the property has.
