Charlotte, North Carolina
Summary:
This waterfront home is nestled on the shores of Lake Wylie in Charlotte, NC. It's one of the rare properties on the lake with its’ own sprawling private beach, new sand-wrapped dock, kayaks and paddle boards. The property is ideal for young children and families to enjoy.
The Space:
The huge open-concept living room, kitchen dining room, breakfast room, and wet bar is ideal for big family groups and gatherings. With the second living room, you will NEVER feel crammed or crowded in this house. This 5100sqft SINGLE STORY family-style home boasts 6 bedrooms (4 separate bedrooms w/ King beds & 1 bedroom with 2 Full beds, each with twin trundle beds underneath them). Four of the bedrooms have their own full bathrooms. There is also a separate bedroom/den with a new queen sleeper sofa (we slept on 3 different models before deciding on this one). We also have two queen size air mattresses if needed. There is a crib room located off in the Master with a crib, Pack'n'Play, and 2 high chairs. All making it a wonderful, one-of-a-kind, get-away vacation home for a large, activity-seeking family.
Located just 20 mins from uptown Charlotte, this home is convenient to all the surrounding area has to offer (mall, restaurants, grocery, marina are all less than 5 minutes from the house). Even though you are close to retail shops and malls, you'll escape from the busy world when you drive down a gravel road that only serves 4 homes.
NEED MORE SPACE FOR A LARGER GROUP:
My family owns 2 other lakehouses in this same cove.
ON-SITE PONTOON BOAT NOW AVAILABLE FOR RENT:
This house is one of the only lake homes around Charlotte with a Pontoon Boat available to rent for the duration of your stay - No more need to pay $400/day to rent from the Marina only to stress out about getting it back before 4:00PM to avoid late fees. Boating should be a relaxing and fun experience --- Take the boat out when you want -- not when you are tethered to a reservation that may turn out to be a rainy day. This was the most common request from our renters so that's why I collaborated with a local Commercial Boat Rental company to give you the option to rent the boat at the end of our dock. My new 2018 150HP Harris Tritoon Boat holds 15 people and has a Ski Tow Bar, Dual Captain Chairs, Dual Bimini Covers with a full enclosure installed when the colder months come so you can still enjoy the lake.
It comes fully equipped with high quality neoprene life jackets of all sizes (Toddler to XXL) and all the equipment equipment and lake toys you need to have a fun and safe boating experience! Just ask me in your inquiry if you are interested :) The lake is huge -- full of beautiful houses, waterfront restaurants with boat parking (Papa Doc's!), and tons of cool Sand Bars and islands to hang out on -- EXPLORE IT!

Sadly, my family had to gather in Charlotte for a few days for my brothers funeral. So glad we chose this home over being separated by individual hotel rooms. The tranquil comfort this home provides was exactly what we needed. The house is beautiful and large but feels very homey. The lake view is spectacular and serene, especially with the fall foliage on full display during our short stay. Great beds, beautiful comfortable furnishings, amenities galore that we didn’t get a chance to use. We are looking forward to when we can come back and stay longer.
Our home for a week in the summer, this house is designed for easy living and comfort. We enjoyed dinners every night with seating for fourteen on the deck, the grounds are lovely, and while the necessary grocery and other stores (including the Charlotte airport) are relatively near, the house remains private and secluded. The interior has plenty of space; if you are traveling with very young children and /or infants there is a spacious room with a crib. The bathrooms are state of the art. A billiard room is part of the floor plan. Parking in the drive easily accommodated 6 cars with room left over for guests who may be visiting. Yes, this is a winner.
Our family had not been together in three years. The property was absolutely perfect. We had space for everybody to have their own privacy and still hang out together in the kitchen and main living areas. Activities for all ages no matter what the weather .We had a blast!
Everything was dialed in and professional. (4) seemingly separate sleeping quarters makes this great for groups.
Second time staying here, and both stays were terrific! Ample space for a large party, and the deck / waterfront is ideal. Will definitely book again.
Overall it was a great house. Ice machines did not work, we did have maids come in prior to clean. Set up was nice but the property lists as 6 bedrooms but it is only 5. We had a great time and would rent again. We had one small problem with a tub leaking and it was fixed ASAP.
We had an absolutely incredible time staying at the Sandy Cove property. The hosts were extremely accommodating and swift to respond and the house and lake front view were unmatched. The entire space was very clean and made us feel right at home! I would absolutely recommend staying here if you get the chance. I hope to come back some day!
Everything was wonderful. Loved the area and the house was amazing! Our kids hopped right in the lake and swam every single day. It was so nice having so many bathrooms and convenient multiple zones on the HVAC. The best thing for the kids was the room with the trundle beds so they could all sleep together and watch movies. Will definitely try and get everyone back soon!
Everything about this week-long stay was ideal. The literature and the photos caught our attention and prompted us early last winter to reserve the house for our summer gathering. We are three generations who travel together each year - with specific requirements for our 'summer place' . This house offered everything; we especially enjoyed the porch overlooking the lake as it accommodated all in our large party to come together for meals, the gentle sloping walk made it easy and safe for our grandparents to reach the dock (where we spent the afternoon hours (kayaks, canoes, life jackets all are on site). The landscaping is beautiful and lush; the interior of the home is open and spacious. This includes a kitchen that easily accommodated numerous 'cooks' at one time. Billiards are a must for this group who enjoyed playing late into the night. Communication with the hosts - superb.
Pill found on floor in one bedroom that made us feel it wasn’t cleaned well. When we tried to clean with stick vac it was so clogged we had to take it apart to fix it. First glass I took out of cupboard was dirty so we has to wash all glasses. Hot tub was too dirty to use. Screens of doors were broken.
All attending had a wonderful time. Some miscommunication about boats available. Otherwise, no problems.
We enjoyed a women’s retreat at this beautiful house. It was better than we expected and we all agreed we would like to rent again next year.
