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 4900 square 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.

Overall the house was clean and the host was quick to respond. LAke view was limited being that it's in a cove. Had a great time and made lots of memories as a family. Would come back again. PS. Kitchen needs more teaspoons and couple of the upstairs beds were creaky. Also the outdoor giant game along with the stand up paddle board (as stated in the listing) were missing. Thank you for letting us stay.

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!

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!!

Overall, the house is beautiful with plenty of room for our large family to move around. Plenty of beds to sleep but most of the mattresses need to be replaced. The pool was nice however needed service after the storm. The service team had somebody come out, but they did not return for follow up service and the pool was green for the entirety of our stay. The kitchen is relatively well appointed however the pantry is locked and the only place to store non perishable items is the laundry room shelf. The lake view is minimal with the house being at the very end of the cove. The water is mucky and shallow so no swimming there and docking a boat challenging. The kayaks for use are nice for a paddle. The service team is very responsive. Thank you for a nice week at Lake Norman.

This property was perfect for a family gathering of 14, with ages ranging from 7 to 73. The home has 4 bedrooms and 2 large bathrooms upstairs, one master bedroom and large bath on the main floor, and another bedroom and bath on the lower floor. A very large couch downstairs converts to a bed as well! Everyone had their own space, which was wonderful.The lovely pool was a favorite of the children; many hours per day were spent swimming and playing games. There are two kayaks on the property, which were used a couple times by children and adults. The dock/cove area is a bit small, but we were able to easily dock a pontoon we rented for several days. The kids loved tubing on the Lake Norman!The kitchen was well-stocked, TVs were in every bedroom and living area, and the game room downstairs was great. I can say that our family made use of all this home and area had to offer. We highly recommend this great house for a family or group stay.

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.

Perfect Lake House!
We had the BEST time staying at Making Waves. The pictures really don’t do this property justice. It’s so well maintained and no detail is over looked. The pool is so nice, the game room and bar is amazing and all the bathrooms are so clean. We loved staying here and had great communication with management company.

Making Waves
This is an amazing home. Beds are super comfy and kitchen well stocked. Only missing a full set of measuring cups (only had the full cup). The pool proved to be the highlight of the trip. Close to places we wanted to visit. Very quiet location. Perfect amount of space for all 18 of us which included 7 children.

Running into 40
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. 👍👍

Home away from home!!
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😀

Annual golf trip
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.

This property is lovely and well appointed from the top to the bottom. It was everything we hoped for! The appliances were amazing. The teens enjoyed the kayaks and paddle board. The pool and game room were big hits. The home is just so well suited for family groups with teenagers. We cannot say enough about the host! So helpful and responsive. We would definitely stay again.

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.
