Making Waves is a beautiful, luxurious, modern, and well-maintained waterfront home in a neighborhood located on the shore of Lake Norman, NC. You will enjoy your scenic drive through the golf course as you start your vacation. Central to many major golf courses with 3 nearby and NASCAR motor speedway. Let's take a tour of your escape: Making Waves is over 4900 square feet and offers everything you'd expect in a lakeside vacation rental. Plenty of sleeping space! This property can accommodate a very large family. It is located on 1 acre of landscaped gardens. Everyone will enjoy the pool and floating dock, where you can swim or fish for hours. The main level features an open-concept living room, dining room, and kitchen. All rooms are easily accessible from one another. The kitchen is fully stocked for the chef of your party to prep meals for the whole group; in the morning, coffee is readily available from the drip coffee maker or the Keurig. The kitchen offers an eat-in area with a table for four and counter seats for three. The living room has a cozy sectional to enjoy views of the deck or watch a show on the TV, complete with lake views!

Don't forget the games in the bar area: a pool table with ping pong topper and foosball for your whole group to enjoy. Or step out from the lounge, relax by the pool, and take a dip. The pool is a saltwater pool, 3 to 8 feet deep, and open year round. The pool is not heated and maintains a temperature about 7 degrees below the outside temp. Outside at Making Waves is where the majority of your time will be spent.
