Island Point by AvantStay | Sleeps 18 | Dock
Nestled in a quiet cove just off the main channel of Lake Norman, with 100+ feet of shoreline, is a magical place where you and your family can go to make special memories. Island Point is a quaint home with unique features that will wow you! Just to name a few: The captain's window (an observatory from inside the house that overlooks the exquisite lake) and the boat house that leads down to the dock, which holds your very own sandy beach area! You won't want to pass on this exceptional home!
Island Point is a custom-built home with large double glass doors. Upon entry via the portico, you are greeted with a formal living room and columned dining area with gleaming hardwoods and an inviting table to seat 8. Through the beautifully arched doorway, you will be led to an open area with a fully stocked kitchen, an eat-in area, and a comfortable family room with a large TV. This is a great place to hang out as a group while family meals are being prepared. Sliders from the eat-in area take you directly out to the deck, furnished with seating and tables to hang out while grilling (propane provided).
The main level boasts a large primary suite with heated flooring and a large en-suite bathroom! The primary suite also has sliders to the main-level deck, so grab your favorite book and a cup of coffee for some early morning lakefront solitude.
The main level has another room with a king bed using the full bathroom in the hall. A laundry room is conveniently located off the main level kitchen.
The upper level has a quaint reading nook at the top of the stairs stocked with bean bags, as well as two bedrooms and a Jack and Jill full bath. A bunk room hosting two sets of bunk beds (one twin-over-twin, the other twin-over-full, sleeping five total) is perfect for a giant kid's sleepover!
The other bedroom has two queens with beautiful new furnishings & bedding.
The lower level is where all the fun and games will take place. Designed with fabulous architectural flair made for entertaining, there is just so much to do here: play pool, foosball, & everyone's favorite - air hockey! There are two seating areas, each with new, large, comfortable couches and TVs. There is a full bar on the lower level with bar seating for 10. The bar area can serve as a second kitchen with an oven/ range, microwave, beverage cooler, ice maker, mini fridge, sink, and dishwasher. A table has been thoughtfully placed on the lower level for cards, puzzles, or eating!
The lower level has two different sleeping options: a bedroom with 2 queen beds or a queen sleeper sofa near the air hockey table.
For lake entertaining, you will enjoy the impressive screened Boat House with its new sectional sofa. Head down to the dock, where you'll find a boat slip and your very own sandy beach area! Inquire about pontoon rentals. Conveniently located on the dock are all of the fun lake toys, which include a kayak, a paddle board, and an assortment of life jackets.
AvantStay provides an upscale experience with services that elevate your stay and save time so you can enjoy every moment. Guests have access to a 24/7 support team and a tech-enabled concierge to book services, such as fridge stocking, mid-stay cleanings, and private chefs.

Cute home but in bad shape
We booked this for our wedding party to stay at during our wedding weekend and the experience was very sub par. The floors, countertops and bathrooms were very obviously not cleaned beforehand- dried up contacts still stuck to nightstands, beer dried and sticky on floors, mold covering shower ceilings, and paint ripped from walls everywhere. Doors were missing chunks and there were cobwebs and bugs everywhere inside the house. We contacted the property manager multiple times only to receive an automated message when we notified them of their mold issue. They eventually responded and they admitted they knew of the damage and tried to say it was just previous guests that had been “a little rougher” on the house. It looked like a house that was once nice and had been taken over by a group of frat brothers. The fact they new it wasn’t clean and was damaged and did not give us any notice is just rude.
The only reason we have it a 2 star rating is due to the actual layout of the house and lake location. The outdoor amenities were also damaged and in disarray. The backyard had beer cans and tobacco products littered around it that we had to clean up upon arrival. The boat house was missing doors and had beer tabs scattered around the floor.
The owners of this house need to be notified of the poor property management and the state of their home. If this was my house I would be appalled and irate at its condition. This house needs a full renovation and deep clean.

Draft Weekend with the Boys
The house was great! Large living areas, nice bedrooms, and the basement w/ bar, lounge area, and game room made for an awesome hang out area.
Short walk down to the dock and quiet place to Stand-up paddle or just float around. Dock made for an easy water pick-up for a Pontoon cruise on Lake Norman.
Also located close to several restaurants, grocery store and ABC store, and a unique hang-out place - The Bohemian Cattle Co.
Over all - a great house and decent location!

Location was great. The house had all the amenities for a wonderful vacation. Biggest issue was the smell and cleanliness of the house. Even after we communicated the need to ensure a deep cleaning due to allergies, 3 of the family members broke out in hives. Would still do a lake vacation again.

Spacious house & convenient location
Our stay consisted of four families coming together to celebrate my son’s graduation. We brought two boats with us. Our entire group enjoyed the spacious property that was convenient to grocery stores & local entertainment. All inquiries were promptly answered. The only thing we found odd was that they showed up unannounced to cut the grass, wash the windows and take the garbage cans to the road. Overall the property was clean and well kept. One sliding glass door to the patio was difficult to close but we reported this issue & feel confident they will resolve it for the next guest as they seemed to be on top of everything. I would suggest some detail cleaning, carpet cleaning and cob web removal more frequently as there were some cobwebs, stains on carpets & dirty corners in rooms and bathrooms. But again, I feel confident they will resolve this as they operated like a well oiled machine.

Amazing Lakefront House
I rented this house to host a few out of town friends for a milestone birthday. We had other local friends join us throughout the day Saturday, and everyone raved about the house! plenty of space, the bottom level alone is perfect for hosting. Check in and checkout were simple, communication was great. Only point i’d call out for other reviewers is getting an Uber was near impossible (both at night and mid morning). That is not a knock to the property or owners at all- just something to be aware of and plan accordingly! Many guests mentioned they plan to book the property for their own gatherings.

End of Summer Getaway
We had an amazing time! There was plenty of fun things to do! We relaxed on the beach around the firepit, swam, fished (caught 8 fish from the dock). We had fun on the kayak and paddleboard and enjoyed brunch on the deck each morning and hanging out in the screened in porch in the evenings. Overall great time with family and friends.
There was great communication from the property management every step of the way, which made for a very easy check in and check out process. Would absolutely rent this property again.
