About this property

Minutes from UNCC, this pristine, single-level home is perfect for family fun!

Escape to our charming 3-bedroom vacation home in Charlotte, North Carolina. Nestled just a 5-minute drive from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, 10 minutes from the thrilling Charlotte Motor Speedway, and 15 minutes from downtown Charlotte and the vibrant Spectrum Center. This property offers the perfect home base for your getaway.

Unwind in the communal pool, connect with free WiFi, and refresh your wardrobe with the in-unit washer and dryer. Cozy up by the fireplace and enjoy a movie night on the large smart TV. Unleash your competitive spirit with a game of pool or ping pong in the game room, relax with a good book on the back patio, or stay up-to-date with work in the private study area.

The fully stocked kitchen is ready for you to whip up delicious meals, complete with a stove, oven, refrigerator, grill, and all the essential appliances and cookware. Savor your culinary creations at the dining table that seats 4-10, or step outside and dine al fresco on the front porch. As the day winds down, gather around the fire pit or let the little ones run and play freely in the lighted and secured backyard area.

With three bedrooms and two bathrooms, air conditioning, heating, and all the essentials provided, this vacation home offers the perfect blend of comfort and convenience for your Charlotte getaway.

Now that the professionals described the home amazingly, we want to add our heartfelt sentiments.

"This is Us" is a premiere vacation rental in the University area. This property was designed with you and your family in mind. We provide what we look for when traveling away from home: a safe, clean, peaceful, relaxing getaway retreat. Though not at home, it has everything needed for "jam-packed" family fun during your stay.

Each bedroom has its own entertainment system. Details: 1) Our 1st-class "Director's Suite" features a Cali-King bed and sitting areas; 2) The classic "Front & Center" room provides a comfortable, private sleeping quarter; while 3) The "Spotlight" room's natural sunlight shines onto the spacious double-decker space that accommodates four. The "Great Expectations" area promotes family time and activities with a "Back Stage" view of Carolina's natural landscapes and furry, feathered friends.

The equipped Galley promotes gatherings of 4-10 guests in one setting. An added perk is the "Entertainment Tonight" space, where active and quiet play for children and adults frequently occurs.

It's within walking distance or a 5-minute drive to UNCC's 49er statue and minutes from Charlotte Motor Speedway, PNC Music Pavilion, Concord Mills, and the NoDa district. It's only a fifteen-minute drive to Queen City nightlife and the Charlotte Convention Center. Enjoy plentiful free on-site parking as well. Book your getaway today and prepare to write a fantastic review!

Weekend at “This is us”

We had the best stay at this property over the weekend. We came to the area to attend the drag races at Z Max Dragway. The comfort, peace, amenities, and close proximity of this property to our destination was awesome! Thank you to the host Lisa for helping us have an amazing experience during our stay. We would definitely stay here again in the future!

Great place for a stay in Charlotte

This was a super nice place to stay. Pretty much in the middle of everything to do around the Charlotte area. Comfortable furniture, great bed, and the game room in the garage was cool. We will definitely try and stay here again.

Will 100% stay again!

We rented this property and traveled with kids age 3-13 and my husband and I. The neighborhood was very safe and quiet. The property came fully equipped with everything we would need. What few needs we had, the manager was very quick to respond. The house was clean and the sweet touches made it so much better. The game room kept all of our family entertained for hours. We are in Charlotte often visiting and we will definitely be staging again!

Cozy and Clean for a Family Getaway

This was a wonderful property that made for a great stay for our family of 4. Close to everything in the Charlotte area but also set back into a nice quiet neighborhood. Our host Lisa made sure everything was ready to go for us and was responsive during the check in process. The house is clean, nicely furnished, and the bedrooms are spacious and comfortable. We would not hesitate to stay at this property again!

Perfect!!

Myself, my husband, my coach and my 14 year old son drove down from NY for an event in Downtown Charlotte. This home was literally like stepping into a home away from home! Nice neighborhood, quiet, cul-de-sac. Everything was spotless, set up just like home. The living room furniture is amazing, the beds are so comfortable (we actually slept better here than home). The garage with the pool table, popcorn machine, speaker, high top tables and comfy couch made for a great family pizza night! I could keep going because this was by far THE BEST home we've stayed in and of we ever have to come back we know right where to go! The host Lisa, gets all the stars, 110% & A++++ from all of us. If you're looking, book it because you will not be disappointed.

This was our second year in a row staying at this house. Lisa, the host is by far the absolute best there is! This home is just stunning, cozy, fun and relaxing. It is meticulous, everything is new, linens are always fresh, the whole home smells of beautiful freshners throughout. The matress is so comfortable we checked this time so we can buy one for home! The garage fun room brought the family together every night of our stay for games and laughs. We highly recommend this home and host if you're looking for a place to call home during your stay in or around Charlotte.

Overall lots of place to spread out for 5 people. Full size appliances and used everything but the oven, so can’t comment on that but otherwise everything worked perfectly. Nice games surprise in garage, kids loved the pool and ping pong table.
