The Pearl of Lake Wylie

10/10 Excellent

"We had a ball. From the pontoon rental to just floating in the lake. Had everything we needed at the rental house. It was very clean an well kept. Loved it"

Sweetwater

10/10 Excellent

"A well equipped home in a beautiful setting. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Having a pontoon boat for our use was a plus. The home is spacious and feels like a home away from home."

Serene Lake Views • Hot Tub • BBQ • Kayaks

8/10 Good

"The house was in excellent condition. The hot tub was in excellent condition, along with the grill and kayaks."

Beautiful Escape, Mins from Carowinds & Lake Wylie

10/10 Excellent

"Incredibly clean & spacious. The place was so clean that it looked like we were the first people to ever step foot in there. The host was great at communication as well."

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

10/10 Excellent

"The rental was exactly as described on VRBO. Helena was very helpful as we were experiencing a horrible rain storm and couldn't find house. Helena was very responsive to my call.We rented the pontoon boat and it was very nice."

Family-Friendly Lakefront Home with Hot Tub, Firepit, Dock & Breathtaking Views!

10/10 Excellent

"We had such a wonderful stay! The home was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for our family. The floor plan was the perfect fit with our teenagers as well. The accommodations were perfect, and the beautiful views and inviting porches made it easy to relax and enjoy our time together.Communication with the host was excellent from start to finish, which made everything so easy. We also loved how convenient it was to rent a pontoon through the host. It was right outside off the dock waiting for us and easy to board and enjoyed the lake all afternoon. Kayaking in the evenings was one of my favorite parts of the trip! We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway. Thank you for a wonderful stay!"

Waterfront Cottage, Fiery Sunsets

10/10 Excellent

"This place was very nice. Lovely decor. Nice view of the water with tables outside to dine if you'd like. The bed was quite firm but that worked well for me. If you want to stay here, make sure that you bring sandals because there are small rocks on the walk down to the lake. If you have mobility issues, keep in mind that the bedrooms and the only bathroom are upstairs. The steps down to the lake are also uneven at points. I particularly liked that it was easy to swim under the wooden deck over the lake to keep out of the hot sun. Hosts were professional and responsive."

4-BR Lake Wylie Ollie—Private Cove—Hot Tub—Fire Pit!

10/10 Excellent

"Enjoyable stay. we had everything we needed."

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."
