The Overlook

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great time and loved our vacation. Great communication & clean place. The beach was great for the dogs to go in & out of the water with ease. Our one dog would have just stayed in the water the entire time if we let him. Something to want to note are: 1. The beach has a TON of shells on the beach for my old feet, I had to wear water shoes, it is crazy how many shells were there. We didnt expect that at all. Our kids loved looking and going through them; 2. the beach is not 100% private, it is a shared beach with next door and there were no paddleboards like in the ad. However there were more than enough water toys for everyone. 3. There is only 1 TV and it's in the living room so we had to figure out different sleeping arrangements 4. The curtains in the master room do not completely cover the windows. If you like it completely dark, you might want to bring a sleep mask. These are not nessarily bad things, nor would stop us from coming back, but if I would have known, we could have prepare better."

Perfect Winter Lake Getaway Villa on Lake Wylie - Family Friendly + Lovers Dream

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic lake views. Kids loved pool, decks and lake. Decks and pools were sparkling clean. Amazingly, for a lakeside property with decks on, and above lake, there are no mosquitos and really no insect problems at all. We had a minor issue with disposal, host responded promptly and resolved problem quickly. Highly recommend."

Serene Getaway with Hot Tub, Sauna, Firepit, Kayaks, Pontoon & Jet Ski Rentals!

10/10 Excellent

"The house was exactly as shown in the photos. It was well appointed. Kitchen utensils, plates, and appliances were all in good condition. The dock/ floating dock was in good shape. We rented a pontoon boat that the host pulled up to the dock. That was so easy. The house was only about 20 minutes from a grocery store. The neighbors on both sides were very quiet. House was very clean."

Charlotte Glamping Dome- Fawn and Fern Hideaway

10/10 Excellent

"It was a great place. Everything I hoped it would be. It was clean, welcoming, relaxing, easy to find and host was great communicator. I LOVE that it was so close to the city yet far enough away to be out of the city craziness. We got to watch thunderstorms which was so tranquil. What my daughter and I both loved the most was that there was a book to make art in. My daughter that that was the greatest things ever."

Luxury Lake House, Pool, Hot tub, Dock, Beach, Game room ,Boat Rental available

10/10 Excellent

"This space is perfect for a large family - so much to do just on property - so well stocked with almost anything you can imagine and perfect for relaxing, swimming, watching sunsets - created a wonderful environment to enjoy time together!"

Serene Lake Views • Hot Tub • BBQ • Kayaks

10/10 Excellent

"Family had a great time. Only one issue and it was caused by mother nature. A tree came down over night during a storm. Host promptly took care of the problem. Being 80 years old and not very good with computers caused some issue with check-in."
