Waterfront apartment accommodation

Tranquility Cove - Beautiful Lakefront Apartment
Wow, what a location right by the lake! We absolutely loved this accommodation. its tastefully decorated, calm, peaceful and private. the living space is sociable and the front porch allows you to enjoy the view of the lake, the birds and just the wonderful peaceful atmosphere. there are kyaks and paddle boards and a beautiful dining area on the jetty. Comfortable beds, pretty linen, great bathrooms and a well equipped kitchen make it feel top end. Clearly this place is loved by the owner and we recommend it to anyone looking for a tranquil stay. we came to Charlotte for the Speedway but we're so happy we got out of town to explore the countryside and enjoy Lake Norman. Downtown Moorseville is about 20 mins away and was a lovely place for a bit if shopping and some nice coffee ☕️ Thank you Patricia. we highly recommend your beautiful place at Tranquility Cove x

City View Studio Uptown
Very convenient location and the pictures matched the description given on the app.

Sail Away Suite
Karen was helpful in sending recommendations and communication regarding the impact of Helene on the area. Always answered questions and put us at ease. The suite was beautiful and the amenities were nice and the views were great. Instructions were helpful. I would highly recommend this suite

LakeLife Retreat featuring Hot Tub & King Bed
Sherry was an amazing host and the Lake Life Retreat was even better than what the pictures showed. This is the perfect location for a nice relaxing getaway. Added bonus was having 2 amazingly friendly dogs on site in Luna and Sandy 😁 We would definitely stay here again!

Lakefront Family Fun, New Gazebo, Toys Included!
Rick and Judy's place is an amazing find! They thought of everything you might need and is such a great location. They are very friendly and all the lake amenities are top notch! We plan to stay here again next year!

Waterfront apartment near dt Davidson
I generally forget to leave reviews, but I felt compelled to share our experience here. We fortunately left the sub-par hotel we had just checked in, and found this spot. It exceeded our expectations. The apartment smelled fresh, looked new and had lots of space. The owner was very prompt answering a question and filling a need. The icing on the cake was sipping coffee by the lake on the morning of our departure. You will have fond memories staying here.

Waterfront Penthouse | Fun for Families&Long Stays
My family and I really enjoyed our stay! The unit had anything you could possibly need. Was great not having to run to the store to get this or that as they already had everything available. Very clean!

Ruth's Quiet Creekside Getaway
If you’re looking for a nice private getaway, this is where you belong! This place has the most comforting feeling we’ve ever felt while traveling for work. My husband and I were huge fans of the lovely hosts as they were super nice and always making sure we were accommodated for anything we needed, if needed. If we ever come back to Shelby, this is definitely the place we’ll be choosing! Thank you Jody & Ruth!!
Waterfront house rentals

The Pond House, near Hickory
We loved this location, the setup of the entire property and peacefulness. Our dogs were super chilled here, too. Highly recommend this spot!

Private Beach Waterfront Home- Hot Tub-Kayaks-SUP
Great 4 bedroom home on the lake with 7 beds. The dock and beach were perfect for a lake getaway and close to most things to do on lake Norman. Only 30 mins from the charlotte airport, highly recommend staying here.

Game Room, 2 King Suites, Huge Porch, Kayaks, Lake
Overall, it was a good stay. The location is great, the view is amazing, and the back porch is as good as the pictures show. There was an issue with the wifi, that eventually the owner of the property management company came out himself to fix, it took a little bit, but was sorted out. I expect things to pop up, so I think having an owner/management company that responds as well as this group does, really makes a difference. The communication from start to finish was great. The living space is one living room and the kitchen, so just keep in mind for larger families. It worked fine for us, as the space opened up to the porch. It is a very nice dock, we fished a good bit from there and had a boat pick us up for the day. We would consider staying again. It is not the largest house, but the location on the lake is great, it is not in a channel, it is at the mouth of one facing the large portion of the lake.

Log Cabin Lake Living
This beautiful home was perfect for our wedding guests for a busy wedding weekend. We loved sitting out on the spacious deck overlooking the water and visiting with everyone. Just a short distance from Chickadee Hill Farms if you’re looking for a good place for your out of town guests.

Lakefront Home on Beautiful Lake James!
Such a great house! We loved it. The place was extremely clean upon arrival. It was well stocked with everything we needed for the weekend and not at all cluttered. Great location. We hiked Grandfather mountain, Shortoff mountain, and Hawksbill. All great hikes and easy to get to. We also spent an afternoon kayaking on Lake James. It was very peaceful with large, calm coves. Great place to stay and I hope to be back.

Shoreside Oasis | Amazing Views & Spacious 5BR 4BA
Great house in a nice location! The house is well accommodated and the back porch is very relaxing! We spent only a few days at the house but loved every minute of it!

Gorgeous Lakefront Home | Mountain AND Lake Views!
Beautiful home and a stunning location. My family and I had a wonderful stay and I have already started planning a return trip with my girlfriends. We loved our mornings and evenings enjoying the outdoor spaces. The upper deck was especially a great spot to watch the sunset.

3BR-Quiet Cove-Private Slip/Boat Ramp-Pet-Friendly
This place was absolutely perfect! Great fishing, friendly neighbors, and we felt right at home! It had everything we needed. We hope to be back. We had a wonderful time. Would definitely recommend this place, it’s a favorite of ours for sure!!
Waterfront condo accommodation

Lake Norman Waterfront Condo Retreat Dog Friendly
Pleasant stay with great views, great weather, and plenty of activities!

Mountain Getaway | Pools, Trails & More!
It was a great peaceful Escape for the weekend. The hosts were very communicative and the place was very clean.

Lakefront Condo on Lake Norman!
This condo was probably the most organized and comprehensive Airbnb expereinces I have had. The condo is very well stocked with everything you need. It opens right up to the pool and you have a nice view of the Marina. Great for a small family. Very easy location - right off the highway. Kim was incredibly responsive. Checking out was easy - there's a checklist to review right on the counter.

Cozy Davidson Lake Norman escape
One of the best decisions we made on a recent trip to NC was staying for 3 nights at Desiree’s lakefront condo in Davidson. Located on an inlet of beautiful Lake Norman this 2-bedroom rental exceeded our expectations. Curbside parking and ground-level access made entering and exiting the property quick and easy. And the 2-bedroom arrangement allowed us to put our 4-year old granddaughter to bed early while we stayed up to take in the view of the harbor or watch our favorite shows on the large-screen TV in our bedroom. We also enjoyed eating breakfast on the back porch and cooling off in the nearby pool. We did not have the time to enjoy all of the amenities the rental offered, but we made good use of the kitchen (with dishwasher and utensils) and the washer-dryer. Desiree’s lakefront property was a wise investment and contributed significantly to our enjoyment during our stay. I would highly recommend this rental to anyone seeking a quiet, private, and relaxing retreat!

Stormin Normans Nest by SoCharm | 3rd Floor Condo
Lovely and easy home, with a great layout and views that everyone - especially our 3 year old - enjoyed. The beds and couch were also comfortable!

Lake Norman Waterfront 1st Fl Condo, 3 Bed, Pool
This beautiful condo is at the top of my list of beautiful places to stay! We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, great location and waterfront view of the lake! Truly everything it advertises and more!! Would love to go back for a longer stay!
