Barefoot Bay

This is the 2nd time we stayed at this lakefront property - also stayed here 2 years ago. We love the 4 separate bedroom areas to give adults some private time. Also, great location on the Lake. The grille was dirty and we didn't use it, and there was a strong storm on Saturday 10/21/23 that knocked over the grille. We set it upright, but not sure if there are loose parts laying in wrong places. overall a great week!

What a stay!We had a wonderful week at this beautiful lakefront home with 8 adults, 2 kids, and 2 very happy boxers. Nestled in what felt like our own private cove, the property had everything we needed to fully enjoy lake life. The kayaks were a great bonus, and we also rented a pontoon for the week while family brought paddleboards—everything came together to make it feel like the perfect getaway.The house was spacious and well laid out, giving everyone plenty of room to relax and unwind. The game room was a big hit with both the kids and the “big kids,” and the kitchen was large and well-equipped for cooking meals together. We loved gathering at the big dining table, both inside and out on the screened-in porch.Daily walks around the area were a great way to get some fresh air and exercise—the hilly roads made for a good workout! Throughout the week, we enjoyed card games, puzzles, and Legos—there truly was something for everyone.If we had any small critiques, it would be that the ceiling fans in the queen and king bedrooms on the ground level are controlled by a single switch, which made it tricky for each room to adjust their fan independently. Also, the smoke alarms went off twice unexpectedly—once in the middle of the night and once early in the morning. Thankfully, the property manager was responsive and replaced them during our stay.Overall, it was a peaceful and memory-filled vacation—we’d absolutely return!
Jump off the dock easily!
Provided kayaks for adults and kids!
Must use fireplace (with provided fire wood)!
A flat top grill for amazing dinners!

fun in the sun on the lake!!!!

WOW! This property exceeded our expectations! Thanks for sharing! There were no surprises and the listing actually didn't do it justice. The location was perfect for us to play in the lake, use the rented boat (That process was smooth as well) and enjoy the home inside and out! We loved the games downstairs, thoroughly enjoyed the fire pit and had everything we needed! Note: The home provided smores supplies but no sticks for roasting marshmallows _ That would have been helpful! There needs to be a trash container downstairs in the rec room. The downstairs king bed on the side of the house that is opposite of the arcade - celing fan is controlled by the next door bedroom light switch. That was not discovered until the last day after we were sleeping without a fan :( Those are my only suggestions! LOVED Every second there!!!! Thanks again!

Beautiful lake house!

Lovely house, beautifully decorated with amazing views of Lake Norman. The family enjoyed the "toys" inside and out. We used the kayaks daily along with the corn hole boards, pinball machines, air hockey, etc. Fished off the spacious dock. The beach area provided just enough sand for the little ones to play with their toys. We rented a pontoon which was super fun too. The description of the house should be corrected. It is listed as "4 bathrooms - Shower only". There are actually bathtubs in the 2 lower level bathrooms.We almost didn't book this house because we thought there were no bathtubs. With 4 small children, having a house with tubs was mandatory for us. Fortunately we noticed in the pictures that there were bathtubs in the house. The "cons" should also be mentioned. There is an electrical wiring issue that needs to be corrected. The 3 lower level bedrooms have ceiling fans/lights with crossed wires. Flipping a switch in one bedroom turned on the fan (or light) in another bedroom. This was quite frustrating for the family members staying in those bedrooms. The other "con" was with the tankless water heater. On several occasions, a family member would be taking a shower when, suddenly, the water turned ice cold. Overall, my family would recommend this lovely vacation house especially when these issues are corrected.

Very nice property, spacious, great location and views

Nicer than I expected, 3 bedrooms up and 3 bedrooms down, with the bedrooms on opposite sides of home on each level so feels private even with a full house. Big adequately stocked kitchen and nice living room with entry to a screened in porch that is comfy with a great view. The downstairs game room is big also with a pool table, pac man game, and sectional with a big TV. The dock is lovely with a nice sitting area. We fished off the dock and used the kayaks. Would like to return sometime again and also rent the pontoon boat that is parked at the dock. The driveway has plenty of parking for vehicles and the location is great with stores nearby.

Hermance, Lake front property

Spacious, comfortable home on a quiet cove with quick access to main channel of Lake Norman. Our four couples, gathered for a family reunion, enjoyed the four king / queen BR’s with private bathrooms. Screened porch was great for morning coffee and conversations. Kitchen was functional and well-stocked with cooking utensils. Large screen tv’s upstairs and down; watched a Sunday night NFL game without disturbing the card players upstairs. Rented the tri-hull pontoon boat with 150 Hp motor for the full week—it ran great. We received a prompt response from the nearby marina management team when we inadvertently left a power switch on overnight, and drained the battery. Maintenance arrived within minutes to jump start the battery and get us back on the water. Plenty of paved parking out front for our three vehicles.

Great Lake-front home close to everything!

We were thrilled with this house! So close off of the highway and to grocery stores, restaurants, gas, and more! But with all that nearby the house is nestled on a quiet and peaceful back road. The kids loved the downstairs and swimming off of our own private dock! The kitchen was stocked with more than enough silverware, plates and cups. Plenty of cabinet space too. A little scant on cookie sheets/ baking pans, though. The beds and couches were comfortable and plenty of seating for our party of 15! However, we had some slight issues working the keypad to lock and unlock the door. Other than that, no other complaints about the house. Would highly recommend this house!

This worked perfectly for us!

We enjoyed our stay with a total of 5 couples in this house and our friend’s family home next door hosting another 4 couples from coastal NC. The location was fabulous and the common spaces worked very well for a group brunch, games of bridge, coffee time on the screened on porch, cocktail hour, games of pool, etc. We also loved the ease of check in and spot on communication with the property management company - they were just a text away if we needed anything. The house was clean and the bedding was very cozy too. It was a wonderful trip.

Family vacation

Great location, house, and water for the young kids to ski & tube. I will rent one more time with hopes of some improvements as the owner needs to reinvest in their property, if not the value will go down. A floor plan to help understand the rooms lay out would be great. Drew, property manager, was a BIG helped with a lot of questions before arriving. Found screen porch had not been sweep as leaves were on the porch. Was sad to note the screen had not been repaired as we looked at the house 1st of May and was told it would be repaired. Beside the house there are old floats that need to be put in the trash. Yard clean-up would be good. Screen porch you need to sunshade for sun set as it is so bright & hot during this time of day you cannot enjoy the view. This house is for 14 people, but the kitchen does not have the needed cooking equipment (pot & pans) for that size group. There is not a flat griddle for pancakes. Great location and great lay out of the house. If you enjoy the water, this is the right location with good waterfront, boat ramp only 1.4 miles away.

Amazing Sunsets

Waterfront relaxation and gorgeous sunsets!! This is a great place for families. The beds were so comfortable and bedrooms had separate wings on both sides of house to provide more privacy. The cove was shallow which we liked for the little ones swimming, and it was a very private. House also had inflatable swimming pad that the kids used all day, everyday. We used the kayaks provided and would fish in the evenings. We took daily walks around the neighborhood and everyone was so friendly and would say hello. Highly recommend Apps&Taps restaurant, 3 minute drive away from house!

Perfect Family Getaway

Everything about this property and location was perfect for our family. Plenty of rooms spread out for everyone to have their own space, 2 dining tables and an island for ample seating at meals, arcade game, pool table and poker. This house gets an A+ for cleanliness. Spacious screened in porch overlooking the water and a great dock located in a small area that is immediately off of a big part of the lake. Best of both worlds...quiet and secluded while still being able to see the open water. Area by the dock was perfect for kayaks, paddle board, fishing and swimming.
