On Lake Norman! Private Dock + Pool & Kayaks | Porch Paradise by AvantStay
Porch Paradise by AvantStay | Lake Norman home w/ private dock, pool, kayaks & game room. Sleeps 10.
Set on a quiet finger of Lake Norman, Porch Paradise is a classic Southern-style home built for slow mornings, long afternoons on the water, and the kind of evenings where no one wants to head inside. Nearly 1,100 square feet of wrap-around porch sets the tone the moment you arrive — rocking chairs, dining for the whole group, and shaded corners for coffee or a glass of wine from one of the nearby Lake Norman wineries.
Inside, a warm foyer opens to a spacious dining area for eight and a fully stocked kitchen finished with Italian Tigerwood cabinetry and slate counters. The kitchen flows into a bright family room with built-ins, comfortable seating, and access to a back deck that runs the full length of the home. The primary suite sits on the main level with a king bed, a quiet sitting nook, and an ensuite bath featuring a soaking tub, glass shower, and dual sinks.
Upstairs, four bedrooms give everyone room to spread out — three with king beds and a bunk room with twin-over-twin bunks for the kids. One king bedroom has its own ensuite, while the other two share a hall bath. It's a layout that works especially well for multi-generational trips and groups traveling with little ones.
Downstairs is where the trip really opens up. The lower-level game room is anchored by a large sectional, a big-screen TV, and a multi-game table with pool, air hockey, and ping pong. A bar-height table is ready for board games, cards, or a casual meal off the grill. Guests have consistently called out the game room as a highlight — far enough from the bedrooms that late-night tournaments don't wake the early risers.
Outside, the new pool is the centerpiece of warm-weather stays, surrounded by loungers and two six-top dining tables. A fire pit rounds out the yard for s'mores after sunset. The sloped lawn leads down to a private dock on a calm arm of the lake, where three kayaks are ready for guests to use. The dock is well-suited for most average-sized pontoons and ski boats, making it easy to bring your own or rent one nearby.
Mooresville sits at the heart of Lake Norman and makes a relaxed, full-service base — grocery stores, restaurants, boutique shopping, and local wineries are all a short drive away. Spend mornings on the water, afternoons by the pool, and evenings exploring the lakeside towns that ring the shoreline. Whether it's a multi-family getaway, a celebration weekend, or simply a reset by the water, Porch Paradise delivers the space and setting to make it memorable.

Thank you, Cheryl! We're glad to hear the home met your expectations and had everything you needed for a great stay. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d be happy to welcome you back anytime!
We really enjoyed our time. There were 8 of us and 2 dogs and PLENTY of space. Being able to dock up to the house was a huge bonus. Would definitely book again.
We had some renovations being done and we stayed here for more than a month. It became home. The kitchen has everything you’ll need and I heard they are getting it renovated, so it should be a brand new kitchen for summer 2025! There are plenty of clean, fluffy towels and it’s located near some great restaurants at the Langtree exit. We had a really pleasant stay.

Thank you, Kimberly! We're so glad the home provided a comfortable stay during your renovations and that it truly felt like home. It’s great to hear you found everything you needed, and we’re excited about the upcoming kitchen updates! We’d love to host you again in the future.
Our family enjoyed the spaciousness of the home. All of the adult beds are King size-big plus. The home is furnished comfortably. The cove and neighborhood are quiet. The porch is the real draw. We found ourselves gathering together on the porch at all different times of the day. The pool is a nice addition.

Thanks, Diane! So glad you had a nice time at Porch Paradise! We hope you will be back soon!
House looks as pictured. Nice size and layout. Clean, property management was always in touch and available if needed. Easy check in/out. Quiet neighborhood, close to grocery store, Costco, and restaurants. Pool is small, but enough room to hang out and cool off. I would go back for sure.
It was a good property… however the porch was somewhat untidy, patio around the pool was very unsafe…uneven… many bees and flies they made it unsafe and u. Pleasant at times to be wither around the pool or on the outside wraparound porch. Rooms were clean… kitchen had all the things we needed…plenty of towels and toilet paper… cooling worked well… neighborhood was nice. Would like to talk to someone about a home for next year.

Thanks for your feedback, Michael. We're glad to hear the home was well-equipped, clean, and comfortable inside, and that the neighborhood was a good fit. We’re sorry to hear about the condition of the porch and pool area—your comments are noted and will be shared with our team for follow-up. We'd be happy to help you find the right home for next year—someone from our team will be in touch!
Everyone loved this house. The pool is a little small. The game room was very nice. We couldn't get the air hockey table to work until the owner happened to stop by. He showed us where the cord was to plug it in, it had been hidden inside the body of the table. He also gave me permission to get another kayak out of the garage. We then had three kayaks and me, my son and grandson went out on the lake. It was my grandson's first time of paddling a kayak by himself and he was impressed. We will consider returning to this house in the future.
