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, 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.

    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?

    Our stay was exactly what we were looking for. The sleeping accommodations were perfect. All amenities were as described. The only issue was the temperature of the pool. It was a bit cold due to an issue with a bad heating element. Otherwise, everything was great.

    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. ??
