Making Waves by AvantStay | Sleeps 20 + Pool

It's all about family, and there is no better place suited to enjoy your next reunion than Making Waves vacation home. Making Waves is a beautiful, luxurious, modern, and well-maintained waterfront home in a neighborhood located on the shore of Lake Norman, NC. You will enjoy your scenic drive through the golf course as you start your vacation. Central to many major golf courses with 3 nearby and NASCAR motor speedway.

Let's take a tour of your escape:

Making Waves is over 4900 square feet and offers everything you'd expect in a lakeside vacation rental. Plenty of sleeping space! This property can accommodate a very large family. It is located on 1 acre of landscaped gardens. Everyone will enjoy the pool and floating dock, where you can swim or fish for hours.

The main level features an open-concept living room, dining room, and kitchen. All rooms are easily accessible from one another. The kitchen is fully stocked for the chef of your party to prep meals for the whole group; in the morning, coffee is readily available from the drip coffee maker or the Keurig. The kitchen offers an eat-in area with a table for four and counter seats for three. The living room has a cozy sectional to enjoy views of the deck or watch a show on the TV, complete with lake views! The modern dining room features a large glass table seating 8 with a new chandelier. There is a quiet study off the kitchen with a sofa and TV for the early risers to watch while not disturbing the rest of the group. This room offers a queen sleeper sofa as well. The primary bedroom is on the main level with a king bed, attached bath with soaking tub, separate walk-in shower, and dual vanities.

The upper level, with 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths, is perfect for many sleeping options. Upon entering the top of the stairs, to the left is a queen bedroom with a new attached bathroom. As you make your way down the hall, there is a queen bedroom with French doors, a bunk room featuring 2 queens and a pull-out queen sleeper sofa to sleep 6, and another queen guest room.

Adults can enjoy the lake-level lounge. Just relax, sip a beer at the bar while gazing at the pool while the children, within eye view, watch their favorite movie on the 108" home theater screen. Don't forget the games in the bar area: a pool table with ping pong topper and foosball for your whole group to enjoy. Or step out from the lounge, relax by the pool, and take a dip. The pool is a saltwater pool, 3 to 8 feet deep, and open year round. The pool is not heated and maintains a temperature about 7 degrees below the outside temp.

Outside at Making Waves is where the majority of your time will be spent. Whether splashing in the pool, making s'more by the newly built fire pit, or enjoying your lakeside toys, there is plenty of fun to be had by all. For backyard games, Making Waves provides corn hole and adult-size Connect 4! The house features two levels of outside entertainment. The upper level will have a new Polywood table to seat 6, along with a grill, the perfect place to watch the kiddos swim or entertain the resident chef while grilling dinner. The lower level features another new Polywood table for six, amongst other seating, and an outdoor shower to rinse off after a long day on the lake.

AvantStay provides an upscale experience with services that elevate your stay and save time so you can enjoy every moment. Guests have access to a 24/7 support team and a tech-enabled concierge to book services, such as fridge stocking, mid-stay cleanings, and private chefs. For anything you need (or never knew you needed), we’re at your service!

Discover the allure of Lake Norman, a haven nestled in the heart of North Carolina. With its idyllic atmosphere, this destination offers the perfect blend of tranquility and excitement. Whether you're here for a laid-back escape or outdoor adventures, you'll have dozens of options to keep you relaxed and entertained. Spend lazy days by the shimmering waters, or venture into the charming lakeside towns, where quaint boutiques and local eateries are waiting with unique finds and new experiences. For the outdoor enthusiast, there's an array of water activities, from paddleboarding under the vast sky to exhilarating boat rides against the backdrop of scenic hills. Whether you seek relaxation or adventure, Lake Norman promises an unforgettable retreat, making your stay here truly exceptional.

Running into 40
My family of 11 adults and a newborn stayed for a running event in the area. Plenty of room and quiet for adults who wake at different hours. Never heard anyone in the morning. Outdoor amenities were amazing, counted 5 fireplaces/fire pits. Well appointed and very clean. Great place to stay. Would definitely stay again. 👍👍

Perfect Lake House!
We had the BEST time staying at Making Waves. The pictures really don’t do this property justice. It’s so well maintained and no detail is over looked. The pool is so nice, the game room and bar is amazing and all the bathrooms are so clean. We loved staying here and had great communication with management company.

This is an amazing home. Beds are super comfy and kitchen well stocked. Only missing a full set of measuring cups (only had the full cup). The pool proved to be the highlight of the trip. Close to places we wanted to visit. Very quiet location. Perfect amount of space for all 18 of us which included 7 children.

Family Vacation
My 4 children, their spouses, and children joined my husband and I for a family vacation. We came from all different directions. The house was lovely and we had plenty of space for everyone to spread out. The house was well stocked with dishes, towels, and supplies. The couch in the lower level was ripped on the back but still usable. The beds were very comfortable. The pool area was fantastic and we used it all the time. It was clean and well maintained. However, the grassy area in the back yard was a muddy mess. If you walked on the grass, your feet were sucked into mud. This was not due to rain as we had one rainy night the entire stay and it was muddy the whole time. Not a good situation with kids. The front yard was dry, we just didn't use it. However, there were several hiccups that affected our stay. The house was not available at 4, Cleaners needed until 5:45. The sewer broke and overflowed. Toilet paper and fecal matter were all over the lower deck, by the outdoor shower and stairs from upper deck. This took 2 days, Sunday and Monday all day, to fix properly,resulting in many, many hours without any running water each day. The next morning, the upper level A/C malfunctioned, creating a pocket of water in the ceiling which dripped onto the couch in the living room, soaking part of the couch, making it unusable. HVAC tech came that morning and fixed it in about 2 hours. These hiccups caused the adults a great deal of stress.

Great for Multigeneration Family Event
This VRBO was more stocked than any we have ever stayed at. SO clean. Pack and Plays, fans, spices, Instapots, blenders, etc. They just had all the little extras that make it sooo much easier to stay. We brought 2 Instapots and did not need them!!!! Kids loved the pool and the lake. We rented a boat with a tube locally. So much fun. Do NOT hesitate to book. Pool was super cold due to the cloudy weather and trees around it. Just a note if you have littles, there is only one bath tub in the house. AMAZING spa tub but all the kids had to bathe in the master. We really did not need to leave but if we did everything was close to buy groceries etc. Pool table, ping pong, and foosball were so much fun!!!

A Great Experience
This property is lovely and well appointed from the top to the bottom. It was everything we hoped for! The appliances were amazing. The teens enjoyed the kayaks and paddle board. The pool and game room were big hits. The home is just so well suited for family groups with teenagers. We cannot say enough about the host! So helpful and responsive. We would definitely stay again. Highly recommend!
