Great Lake Norman Location
Our family celebrated 4th July reunion at Shore-to-Please and had a great time accommodating everyone. The kitchen layout helped facilitate feeding our large family and the back yard with the view of the lake is amazing. The master bedroom is downstairs with great views and master bathroom.

Family Vacation
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home on the lake. The property was spotless, well-appointed, and exactly as described. From the comfortable beds to the fully stocked kitchen, every detail was thoughtfully considered. The views of the lake were breathtaking, and we especially enjoyed mornings on the deck with coffee and evenings by the water.Communication with the host was prompt and courteous, and check-in was seamless. This home made for a peaceful and memorable getaway, and we would absolutely stay again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing escape with all the comforts of home!

Nice views, big house!
Overall this was a great vacation. There are a few things that should be done around the property for safety. Like repairs to the plank boards on the upper water deck (outdoor bar), repairs to the underside of the roof on the upper water dock, repair to back steps and repairs needed to the upper bedroom patio. Outside could use a good power washing and landscaping needs some work. A couple of dead trees need to come down before they fall. Overall it was ok

Everything we needed and more
We had a large extended family trip. This was our first time in Lake Norman and many of our family’s first time in a VRBO. My mom said it was the best equipped vacation house we’ve ever stayed in. Everyone had a comfy spot to sleep, even my 4 month old and my sister’s 13 year old dog. The dock was amazing, we rented a boat and it was so easy to get in and out of the cove. Kids and adults enjoyed kayaking and paddle boarding, and just plain swimming off the dock. Quiet cove and neighborhood and nice to take walks and jogs in the nearby housing development. We would definitely stay here again if we return to Lake Norman.
