About this property
New Dock & Custom Home | Dock Holiday by AvantStay
Dock Holiday is an immaculate waterfront custom build with a spectacular sunset view on .65 acres at the south end of Lake Norman. Just minutes from shopping and dining in Birkdale, you'll enjoy an easy commute to CLT and the airport.
Custom everything! Hardwood floors can be found throughout the main level, with two staircases, 8' solid wood doors, and a masonry fireplace. An entertainer's kitchen is nestled between the dining room and the great room, both with soaring ceilings. Thermador appliances, a walk-in pantry, a prep island, and tons of cabinet space complete your fully equipped kitchen. An office with French doors on the main level is available for guests to use.
The main level also offers a vast owners' suite boasting a full-size lounge with a fireplace in the sitting area, a sleeper sofa, and professionally organized closets. The owners' bathroom features a walk-in shower, soaking tub, his-and-hers sinks, and heated floors.
Upstairs features three large bedrooms with king beds, TVs, and two bathrooms. Two of the king bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom. The bonus room has been converted to a bunk room with a twin-over-full bunk and TV for a private children's escape.
The large backyard is a great place for games of cornhole and s'mores by the fire pit. Or you can chill on the stone patio while cooking meals on the propane grill. A new large dock was added in 2022 with a lift and seating area to enjoy the amazing sunsets. Conveniently located on the dock are all of the fun lake toys, which include a kayak and an assortment of life jackets.
Dock Holiday is truly a vacationer's dream. Remember, Lake Norman has no restrictions, so it is perfect for extreme water sports like water skis and wakeboards! Your private dock is large enough to accommodate several watercrafts, so you can take advantage and keep your toys close at hand.

Home Truths: - Please be aware that because of Lake Norman's inconsistent drought conditions at certain times of the year, and/or Duke Power Company's management of the lake level, boat access to the dock may be limited to outboard style motors only, due to undesirably low water levels. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but unfortunately, it is out of our control. We thank you for your cooperation and understanding - Unfortunately, pets are not allowed in this home. If undisclosed pets are brought into the home without AvantStay's approval there is a fine of $500 per pet. - Indoor fireplaces are not available for guest use. - This rental also features a kayak and a blow-up paddle. - No events, group gatherings, or parties are allowed at any AvantStay property under any circumstances. - Due to natural fluctuations, we’re unable to provide specific water depth information at any given time. The majority of docks in this area are generally suitable for most average-sized pontoons and ski boats. However, since boat drafts can vary, guests are encouraged to refer to Lake Norman nautical charts, GPS systems, and depth maps—and rely on their own knowledge of their vessel’s specifications—to ensure safe navigation.
Parking Details: Maximum of 4 cars is allowed onsite. No parking on grass or street.

Our group had a great time. The home was clean, spacious, and had everything we needed. The location is quiet with a beautiful view of the lake. Check-in and check-out were smooth, and the host was quick to respond to my request for an early check-in.
Great house for groups. Extra clean, luxury linens, comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen with an abundance of dishes for 12. Located very near grocery stores and restaurants. Will definitely be going back.
We just stayed a few days. everything about this property was perfect. Beds all comfortable. Sitting on dock very delightful. Morning coffee on porch - very peaceful and quiet. Would definitely return!
Thank you.
I told my husband that I’m never leaving! Gorgeous home on beautiful property. The sunsets were 🔥🔥🔥 The dock was a peaceful oasis for coffee. The tree swing was a “hit” with everyone. Would love to have occasion to use this home again!
This is our second Dock Holiday Vacation. This home is strategically positioned in one of the many picturesque coves of Lake Norman, North Carolina. The holiday decorations were a perfect touch for our family of 10 to spend Christmas together under one roof. The home created an environment of peace while the lake ushered in calm and well-being giving rise to happy thoughts, a time of much needed bonding in sharing of blessings in life I would like to thank Lakecation and AvantStay for this experience, Again, Thank you from Kim and Dan.
We had a great trip to Huntersville at this beautiful property. It’s very peaceful and at the end of the road. Beautiful water front views. Plenty of room for our entire family. It doesn’t seem like the neighbors like that it is a rental property. Be careful with noise. We had a small Bluetooth speaker and we’re sitting out at the fire pit, but there’s a noise sensor on the house that picked up our speaker that was sitting right underneath it. We got a message to be quiet, even though we were not being loud at all. I contacted the property manager and she said all is well. The property manager was very attentive and kind. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of room for everyone in our party. The kitchen was well equipped and I had everything I needed for a beautiful Thanksgiving dinner. I would definitely stay here again.
This home is fantastic, and in a quiet community. The communication of the property management team was responsive and helpful. I plan to stay here again very soon.
Spacious, clean and beautiful house! Excellent service and communication by your company. The location was not ideal since the water was so shallow by our pier. Neighbor’s dog was annoying with the barking.
We had a wonderful time. The neighbors do not seem happy with the fact this home is vacation rental. The dock needs handrails but is clearly new and likely a work in progress. The kitchen was well-stocked.
Great vacation rental!
This house is nestled in one of the coves of Lake Norman and was perfect for our family getaway. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils, pots, pans, etc. however, you will need to bring or buy any seasonings, cooking oil, etc. if you want to cook while you’re there. We rented a boat and they delivered it to the dock in the backyard, which was fantastic. The house has a ton of space and is very comfortable. Quick drive to Birkdale Village. The week went by way too fast.
No garage remotes
No dish drying rack
No live TV, no streaming in living room
Two smoke detectors needed batteries
But the biggest problem was the inadequate HVAC system. Master bedroom thermostat set at 74 -- never got below 79. Main set at 78 -- never got above 74.
Heat and cool air did flow through register; just not enough.
We had an Outstanding time with the family. The home was decorated for Christmas was just the right touch. All cell phone down, looking at the view and playing games. Great memories and we would do it again. We provided you with an survey via text with much more detail.
Thank you.
Kim & Dan
