Kayak Cove was lovely and met the needs of my family. We enjoyed the cinema room, the outdoor patios, and of course, the kayaks! Karen was so thoughtful to check on us and to take care of a minor issue quickly and thoroughly.

Traveling with friends

We traveled for the PGA Championship. The area had lots to do before the tournament. Very roomy house with extra amenities for our group. Lake was low due to power company so we couldn’t use kayaks, but looked like fun. Other than a few small items for them to address the house was great for our visit. Hiking, boating and great restaurants close by.

Perfect peaceful lake retreat

We spent our July 4th holiday here and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was clean, comfortable, and had nearly everything we needed. It's so quiet here and yet just a few minutes from groceries and restaurants. Everything was well-maintained, and the whole place just felt cozy and relaxing. Host was very responsive and helpful, too. Hard to believe this place is so close to Charlotte!

Great House! Great Lake! Everything you need and more!

We stayed for 10 days and had everything we needed. Homeowners were very responsive and left a welcome basket for us. Movie room was a plus! We caught many catfish from the lake - a 40lb one too! Beds are comfortable and had plenty of linens. Friendly neighbors. Kayaks provided but we didnt have a chance to use them. Would definitely stay here again!

Water

Very nice well appointed home. Circumstance out of owner's control could have been informed earlier. We are avid fishers and had planned on doing that right from the rental property.However that was not possible due to hurricane damage and the dam needing repair which resulted in very low water levels. Fishing therefore was made inconvenient. Very pleased with location and response time when needing questions answered. Would recommend.

Absolutely Amazing!

The owners were extremely friendly and helpful. They were more than accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed. I would rent this property again and again. It is a beautiful home on a beautiful lake. The owners thought of everything towels pots. And pans coffee upstairs.Every little detail was there. The owner checked on us a few times during our stay.To make sure we had everything we needed, and that everything was okay. We would definitely rent this property again. And would definitely recommend this to other people. They also had beautiful sitting areas outside a grill that we could use a fire pit that they encouraged us to use a sitting area outside with fans. They thought of every little detail, and it made the stay so nice.

Excellent care and attention from the host. The property is well kept and they provide many extras to make the stay more enjoyable including some snacks and kayaks of various sizes. The host was very gracious about accommodating special requests and made sure to check in with us during the stay to see if we had any questions or problems. Communication before and during the trip was great. We have family in the area we were visiting and they will recommend this property to out of town guests in the future.
