2xKing-Beds, Birkdale-Plaza-Vista, Shop-Eat-Play

Two king beds and two full bathrooms — ideal for couples traveling together, families who need their own space, or anyone who just doesn`t want to share a bathroom on vacation. Your balcony sits above the beating heart of Birkdale Village`s Plaza — the Lake Norman area`s most walkable, energetic open-air destination. Steps from 20+ shops, restaurants, a movie theater, and events ranging from morning yoga to winter ice skating. If you love being where the action is, you`ve found a home here.

The space
Step onto the balcony and you`re three floors above Birkdale Village`s main Plaza — string lights, restaurant patios, and the low hum of a neighborhood that genuinely knows how to have a good time. Look right, and about 100 feet away is the event lawn: the same green space that becomes a concert venue on summer evenings, hosts morning yoga classes in the fall, and transforms into a full ice skating rink each winter.
Inside, the layout is designed with groups in mind. The living area is anchored by a Smart TV with cable, streaming services, and a retro gaming console — good for winding down after a day of exploring. A dedicated workspace makes remote work genuinely comfortable, and the dining area seats everyone together.
Both bedrooms are private suites, each with its own full bathroom — no sharing required. The master features a 12-inch memory foam king, a walk-in closet, a ceiling fan, and a white noise machine. The second bedroom mirrors it with its own 12-inch memory foam king and full en-suite bath. Whether you`re two couples splitting the stay, a family needing separate retreats, or a work team that needs actual privacy at the end of the day, the layout delivers it.
The kitchen is fully equipped for real cooking: French press, kettle, blender, rice cooker, pots and pans, baking sheets, full knife set, and complete glassware. Community amenities include a resort-style pool with sundeck, poolside grilling stations and cabanas, a 24-hour fitness center, a resident lounge, and access to walking and biking trails.
A queen-sized air mattress with linens accommodates a fifth and sixth guest comfortably.
One thing to know: The unit sits above another residence, so we ask guests to be mindful of impact noise — running, jumping, or high-energy play indoors. It`s a great fit for adults, older kids, and calm families. If you`re traveling with very young or energetic little ones, we`d be glad to point you toward other nearby homes that are a better fit.
Extended stay discounts apply automatically — the longer you stay, the better the rate.

Guest access
Birkdale Village isn`t just a shopping center — it`s a 52-acre open-air district where restaurants spill onto patios, willow oaks line the walkways, and something is almost always going on. The Plaza at its center hosts over 100 free events per year: Friday night live music under the oaks (April through October), a Sunday Farmer`s Market (second Sundays, March through October), seasonal festivals, outdoor movie screenings, holiday celebrations, and more. The event lawn just steps from the building adds another layer — yoga at sunrise, concerts on warm evenings, and in winter, a full ice skating rink that turns the neighborhood into something genuinely festive. You`re not staying near Birkdale Village — you`re staying inside it.
Shopping: J. Crew, Kendra Scott, Williams-Sonoma, Restoration Hardware, lululemon, Sephora, Anthropologie, Barnes & Noble, Apple, and dozens of local boutiques — all within a few minutes` walk.
Dining: Fin & Fino (upscale seafood tapas, one of the area`s most-loved restaurants), Red Rocks Cafe (steaks, seafood, and a standout Sunday brunch), North Italia, Midwood Smokehouse, bartaco, Brixx Wood Fired Pizza, eeZ Fusion & Sushi, Sweetgreen, Foxcroft Wine Co., Bonefish Grill, Bad Daddy`s Burger Bar, The Cheesecake Factory, Suffolk Punch Brewing, and more.
Entertainment: Regal Birkdale 16 movie theater, live music in the Plaza, the seasonal event lawn, and a year-round event calendar worth checking before you arrive.

UNLISTED GUESTS—Your reservation details must include all overnight guests staying with you. Each additional unlisted guest will incur a $100 fee per night, and any other costs associated with remediating the situation.

NO PARTIES OR EVENTS—No parties or unapproved events are allowed in the Home or the community. Any number of friends, family, or visitors exceeding the Home’s advertised occupancy must first be approved by the hosts. Violating this policy will result in the immediate termination of your reservation, forfeiture of any opportunity for a refund, and a $200 fine in addition to any repair costs.
Hosting any guests not listed on the reservation during the community quiet hours will automatically qualify as a party/event and incur the full stated penalty.
If the police, community courtesy officer, community leasing office, or any other relevant authority is contacted as a result of any disturbance created by you or your guests, it will automatically qualify as a party/event and incur the full stated penalty.

You should NOT place trash outside during the day, or the community may levy a fine against us. All fines will be passed on to the guest.
All trash must be put in a trash bag and fit inside the trash bin with the lid closed.
Upon check-out, the housekeeper will handle up to two trash bags. If you have more than two trash bags, you are responsible for taking the additional bags to the community dumpster. Leaving behind more than two trash bags will result in a $25 fine to cover extra housekeeping costs.
