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 4900square 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 includes four bedrooms and two full baths, giving the group a flexible mix of sleeping options. The layout includes one king bedroom, two queen bedrooms, and a bunk room with two queen beds plus a queen sleeper sofa that can sleep up to six. One bedroom includes an attached bathroom, while another features French doors, adding a little extra character and privacy to the setup.

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.

    Great lace for a big family. We had 7 adults and 8 children. House was big enough for everybody to sleep in a bed and have space for alone time. The property provides hours of fun things to do. Between the pool, the fishing off the dock, the kayaking and paddleboing in the lake, everybody had a great time. They all loved the grilled meals made for lunch and dinner. Everyone agreed this was a great place to spend a week together. They liked it better than the beach and staying at a hotel. Their favored was the game room downstairs with had a bedroom, pool table,, bar, 3 tv’s, a huge couch and football table. We all hated to leave!!

    This is by far one of the best properties I’ve ever stayed at. The scenery was incredible, the hosts were amazingly hospitable, and the home itself was absolutely beautiful. The pictures truly do not do this property justice. There was more than enough space, plenty of seating, and everything was absolutely immaculate. I will definitely stay here again and again. It was clean and the pool was everything I hoped for!

    Sleeping arrangements were very good, with plenty of bedrooms and queen sized beds. Plenty of space, including bathroom facilities. An abundance of TVs. A couple of maintenance issues that should be taken care of, but nothing major. Biggest issue is this property is way over sold as “lake view” or “lake front”. The small mud inlet is not even dockable. Lake activities would be very limited from this site. Some limited closet hanging and drawer space on the lower level.

    We were disappointed by several things at this property, especially for the money we spent for the stay. Seemed poorly kept. Not very clean, spider webs and bugs in many of the rooms upon arrival. Two steps on the deck stairs with very loose boards that detached when stepped on and had exposed rusty screws. Big safety issue. Stair to basement missing a ledge, also a safety issue. No trash cans in bathrooms. Kitchen lacked kitchen towels and pot holders. Ice machine did not work. Pool was too cold to use.

    very nice, we couldn't get the ice maker to work, but that is just a minor inconvenience. The house was beautiful and worked very well with our family.

    Quiet neighborhood.Spacious house with garage and fun lounge area in the bittom level. Amazing fenced yard with pool and fire pit. We gathered to spend time with family and it was just what we needed for our large group to hang out, spread out, relax as needed.

    My family is rather large but we each have a way of making a house a home!! The owners of the house opened their home for us to enjoy and that was very important. However, the best thing about our stay was the expert helpful and timely response I got from using the Avanta company. I will seek out their properties in the future😀
