Laid Back Lake Life by AvantStay | Waterfront View
Welcome to **Laid Back Lake Life**, the ultimate vacation destination where you can unwind, relax, and leave your everyday worries behind. This charming home exudes southern elegance with its full-brick design and stunning waterfront views of Lake Norman, visible from nearly every room in the house.
With six spacious bedrooms, each furnished with new furniture, mattresses, and bedding, there's plenty of room for everyone. The deck off the eat-in kitchen is the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee or sip sunset drinks while taking in the breathtaking views. The home's unique charm and serene atmosphere make it a place your family and friends will truly cherish.
As you step through the custom front door, you'll be greeted by a large foyer that leads into the first of two game rooms, complete with a pool table for some friendly competition. Adjacent to the game room is a formal dining area with seating for eight, featuring elegant sawgrass wallpaper and judges paneling.
Moving further into the home, you'll find an open-concept living space that includes a gourmet kitchen with a large island, two cozy sitting areas, a bar, and an office nook. The recently renovated kitchen boasts sleek stainless steel appliances, a stunning marble island, and lit cabinets, creating an inviting space for guests to gather. A breakfast bar with seating for four allows guests to chat with the chef while meals are being prepared. All areas flow seamlessly to the back deck, where you'll enjoy spectacular lake views while dining al fresco.
On the main level, there’s a cozy bedroom with a queen bed, along with a newly renovated full bathroom featuring a glass shower and marble sink.
Heading upstairs, you'll find five more bedrooms and three full baths, including a primary suite with an ensuite bath. The home can accommodate up to 13 guests, with plenty of options for everyone. There's a bunk room with two twin beds and a trundle, perfect for the kids. Down the hall, you’ll find additional bedrooms, including a queen and king room. At the end of the hall, two more bedrooms offer luxurious ensuite bathrooms — both with glass showers, and the primary bath featuring a soaking tub.
The game rooms are where the fun really begins, with a variety of activities such as ping pong, foosball, and pool to keep everyone entertained. The converted garage is now an additional game room, complete with an air hockey table, foosball, a 50” TV, and a mini-fridge stocked with drinks for both kids and adults. The laundry room even features a mini kitchen with a fridge and microwave for added convenience.
Outdoors, the expansive deck is a perfect place to gather, while the newly constructed outdoor kitchen and dining area with seating for 10 will quickly become a favorite spot. The built-in grill and mini fridge make outdoor meals a breeze, and the fire pit with built-in seating is ideal for cozy evenings by the water. The brand-new dock and large beach area offer direct access to the lake, with kayaks, a paddleboard, and life jackets ready for fun on the water.
Every detail, from the renovations and new décor to the luxurious bedding and ample entertainment options, ensures that **Laid Back Lake Life** will be an unforgettable retreat for any group.

The house was just as advertised, very clean with nice amenities and activities. Service was excellent when we accidentally locked ourselves out!

We had a blast. The home was gorgeous and had everything we needed. It was modern and beautiful but cozy at the same time. We spent the entire Saturday on the kayaks and lounging on the private beach area. 10/10 would go back again for sure!

The fantastic lake view, beach access, and high-end furnishings must have made it a perfect spot for your family to relax and enjoy. With so much space for everyone to spread out and entertain themselves, it seems like an ideal getaway for a family vacation.
Our family and friends stayed at the beautiful house for two nights. It has everything we needed! The children enjoyed the game room and outdoor equipment for water fun!! The house is very beautiful and spacious. I will definitely return to this beautiful property.

It's wonderful that the house met all your needs and provided ample space. We look forward to welcoming you back to this beautiful property!
Loved everything here. The location, the calmness of the lake and perfection of the property. Well equipped and plenty of space to spread out as needed when in town for a large family event as we were. Highly recommend!
The property was perfect for our family while our daughter was getting married. The beach and deck were awesome. It was big enough evohad their own space,
The property was absolutely beautiful!! My family and I were there for a graduation dinner for my daughter and it was the perfect house and location. Nothing for us to do but bring the food, everything else was supplied. The lake and fire pit were great especially at night. It was clean and all the appliances were up to date. I highly recommend this property.

Thank you, Ed, for your feedback. We’re so glad to hear this property was one of the best you’ve rented and that your experience this time met your expectations. We appreciate you choosing to stay with us again and hope to host you in the future.
Great stay! We had a lot of fun on the lake and the beach/dock were a dream. If you’re bringing your boat like we did, just note the closest public boat ramp is only 2 miles away (inland sea marina). We paid $5 to put it in the water and tied it up to the dock outside. We were not able to use the boat lift.

Property was beautiful home was very large and modern. They could use better housekeepers. Being on the lake was awesome. Enjoyed the kayaks and bbq area. Too many things not working so I doubt I would rent that place again. Also too expensive
We had a great experience at the property! When we arrived we found it to be a beautiful home, just as advertised. Clean and ready inside. On the back it needed a quick cleanup so we contacted the company that manages the property and they were quick and efficient. Great managing company by the way! Always reachable and ready to help. The house has many amenities to enjoy, and the kayaks and lake were a treat for citiy people.

The home is simply beautiful. The property details on the listing accurately aligned with the actual property logistics and floor plan and the house was equipped and stocked with more than what we needed and used. The management team was proactive with an arrival day text to advise of contact methods in case we needed assistance with anything during our stay. The home entry details were very easy and Avant was gracious and even allowed us to gain entry an hour before scheduled. We have nothing but praise and gratitude.

Interesting stay
The property is beautiful. The location is wonderful. They need to hire a new cleaning service. There is an inch of dust on all baseboards, dirty pots and pans, crumbs all over the knife block, spiders and cobwebs everywhere. Don’t get me started on the glitter left over from holiday vacationers. The king bed in the master bedroom is actually two twin beds pushed together…very odd! Then there were the raccoons in the attic. The management office was responsive to the issue but it required staff to visit twice daily. One raccoon was caught and the other was trapped on our check out date.
We had a wonderful time. The house was very welcoming and really had all the input that we needed. The bedrooms were very comfortable and the main floor had everything that we could want. The kitchen had all the utensils and anything that we could ask for...We thank you for having the hose work correctly; it was so practical to have the hose available for us to take the sand off our feet. Also thank you bringing someone to take care of the koi in adding a water flow; we would have liked to have a ladder installed but I can understand that perhaps there wasn't any room for a ladder- also it was good of you to remove the rusted detached ladder. We enjoyed the kayaks and the paddle board. Also the multiple cooking area outside was terrific! We also enjoyed the the "play" room; we enjoyed all the games. I thought the deck was a little rough...some of the capitals were missing on the posts; found some of the wood planks to be a bit rough; also there were many areas where there was dust-like accumulations and threads on the window sills and the table on the porch including ants;

Thank you for the detailed feedback, Rita! We're so glad you and your group had a wonderful time and that the home, kitchen, outdoor cooking area, and water activities all added to the experience. We appreciate your kind words about the updates we made during your stay and your helpful notes about the deck, window sills, and minor maintenance items—those have been shared with our team for attention. We'd love to welcome you back for another great visit!
We had a memorable time. The place was functional and clean except for the outside stairs and equipment that had some webs and dirt. It did not really hamper our vacation. Initially, we had to request extra knives which was delivered quickly. Thanks.
