We had a GREAT STAY at Firefly Cove!! It had everything we needed for our group of 12!! The view of Lake Norman was BEAUTIFUL! Many of us spent every morning and evening on the deck looking out as the sun came up and went down! We would definitely stay here again!!
We were a group of women in their 40’s looking for a relaxing weekend. We had plenty of space, enjoyed the pool and rented a boat to use while here. It was a gorgeous view to wake up to each morning and had a blast at the house. Thanks for great memories!
We had a wonderful time at Lake Norman. The house surpassed our expectations. You can’t beat the lake view and the convenience of the pool was great. And Rhonda/Jim were very helpful and responsive.

Our group of 3 families had an awesome time on our long weekend. Most of us never even left the house- we had everything we needed between the house, pool, and lake. There was plenty of room for everyone to have their space. We loved our stay and would recommend to anyone with multiple families.
We had the most wonderful relaxing week on the lake. Youngsters headed out on lake to tube, wakeboard and swim. They loved it. Basement area is a great hang out for kids, games, and time together away from parents.

First time at Lake Norman. Great house and great location on Lake Norman not to mention the pool and hot tub. Property owners were very responsive and easy to work with. They even checked in on us mid week to make sure we had everything we needed. All around great experience. Will definitely be back again.

It is absolutely our pleasure to have wonderful rentors like our last group and so many of our vacationers this summer. We love sharing our "fun" home.
We rented the home for just our family and everything was as described. The property managers were always very communicative with any questions we may have had. There was a problem with the washer that predated our visit but the manager took care of it without us having to be involved. It was a great vacation for my family and my kids loved the lake!
We enjoyed our week at this property. The pool and the house were everything we anticipated. Rhonda was great to work with and wanted to make sure we were happy. We will be back, if not next year, then th year after. Al and Denise Schweiss Farmington, Mo.

Thank you so much!! We appreciate you taking such great care of our home and look forward to having you back.
The house was the perfect set-up for our stay with friends. The boat dock accommodated two boats with deep water as well. The pool and hot tub only had propane for heating purposes, so we were unable to use either one in the event of draining all the propane.

Overall, we had an enjoyable stay at Firefly Cove. Location is superb and the views do not disappoint. Pool area was great to hang out while kids were in the house. Only disappointment was the fact that cleanliness and basic maintenance seem to get overlooked with this rental property. All issues reported to management company were addressed somewhat quickly; however, most should not have had to be reported if the home was actively upkept vs. treated as a pure-play rental.

Hi Mike,
Thank you for your good review! We're so happy to hear that your family enjoyed your time at our home. We never want our guests to experience issues at our homes, so anytime something is reported to us we make sure to take care of it as soon as possible; however, we can only fix what we are made aware of. This home has had a very busy summer, so unfortunately we do sometimes have to rely on our guests to let us know if anything comes up as we may not be able to catch everything on same day turnovers.
We hope to host you and your family again soon!
Few issues with appliances and air conditioning. Interestingly the master has a fireplace that it shares with the living room and it’s literally an open space and not very quiet when others are in the kitchen or living room. The lake is beautiful as usual but it should be a little clearer how steep the walk is from the lake to the home. Loved having the pool and hot tub. Overall a good experience.
The house and property are beautiful. The area is great, with grocery stores, gas stations and restaurants nearby. We had a few hiccups along the way. The house is located on a quiet little cove just off the main channel. The family had a wonderful time and we will definitely return. A few of the negatives we encountered, on the 1st day we went to fire up the stove and were unable to get the gas burner to light. The property manager responded quickly to our issue and the propane company was quickly dispatched to the house. Turns out the propane tank was empty. Minor inconvenience to get the trip started. Encountered 1 other issue on the 2nd to last night, the upstairs AC unit went out, again the property manger dispatched their AC guy and he came out and fixed the issue within a few hours. The response time on the property management company was very good. Sh*t does happen as any home owner would know. The AC filters in the house had not been changed in over a year as we found while trying to remedy the HVAC issue. All in all it was a great stay with a few bumps along the way.
We rented this property for our family Thanksgiving reunion. We live in Miami, 2 kids with baby in NY and 4 kids in Charlotte. This home was the perfect meeting spot right on the middle. And what an amazing week we had. The house was perfect to accommodate all of us, even though the Charlotte gang only stayed one night. The house itself is beautiful but it could use some upgrades… some furniture is falling apart, the kitchen could be better equipped, some of the appliances were not working properly, etc. We notified the management company so hopefully they will take care of it for future rentals. They were very accommodating, bringing us a baby security gate for our one-year old very curious grandson so we could block the stairs. Overall we had a great time and I would recommend this property.
