The property is great - very nicely kept interior. Would benefit from an exterior clean (lots of cobwebs in the window screens and on/around the deck and entry, and some overgrown bushes on the stairs) and new towels (they smell like rotten).

We enjoyed our stay so much at your beautiful property . The owner accommodated an earlier check in for my family since we had a wedding to attend so we could get ready in the home and go . Everything was clean , property was beautiful and we had a terrific time . Thank you again

Had a wonderful trip with my boyfriend, another couple and four teen boys. We all had our own space and living area. The boat dock is beautiful and perfect for fishing, which the boys did each night. We rented a boat all weekend and parked it in the slip. Overall the whole weekend was a fun time and glad we rented this same house again for our annual Lake Norman Trip.

Stayed with our 3 adult children, their partners and our 3 month old grandbaby. Kitchen was well equipped and we were out most days but enjoyed nice brunches and some quiet times around the tv at night

Good location, (right on the lake, how much better could that be!) great house, right number of bedrooms and good set up. The 2nd bath is just outside the master so it can be easily shared with other BRs. We had a small issue during our stay that the manager took care of quickly. Highly recommend!

First off the house is beautiful. Decorated lovely, clean, in a wonderful neighborhood and plenty of space for our group of 6. But I have some complaints. I have only personally rented on VRBO twice and total on sites alike three times. Therefore maybe I’m just not aware what to check when arriving. You may want to go to the store after arrival. So they aren’t joking about minimal paper towels and toilet paper provided. I always grab a small pack of TP and paper towels. However they only provided one small roll and that would’ve been ok with my two for the 4 nights but there were no dish towels. So everything you washed including your hands you had to use a paper towel. So we ran out the last evening and had to use a bath rag to clean up some spilled Mac and cheese. Also there was no gas in the grill which I only found out after I started it, which it started, and was about to put my food on. There were supposed to be two extras on site and there were not. Now after a short freak out and some calls I went and did an exchange and the property manager did call me back pretty quickly and they did reimburse me plus some so I was much appreciative of that. They did apologize and resolve so that’s why 4 stars. Also no other basics in the pantry really but salt and pepper. Also the dish drainer is pretty but it caused a wine glass to fall and break bc it was not flat but some grass looking thing. All and all good but could’ve been great with a little more attention.

This house was perfect for multiple families with kids! The fence was reassuring to keep little ones from getting to the water unsupervised! Would love to visit again!

Awesome place for family get together
Very nice place and perfect space for our family get together. The kitchen is well equipped to cook anything you may need. The listing doesn't show, but there is a fire pit down by the lake that we enjoyed in the evening. We will definitely consider this place in the summer and bring our pontoon with us. The deck is large enough for all of us to hang out, cook on the grill and enjoy the weather. There are security cameras that are not listed in the listing. Would recommend this house.

Very easy rental experience. Did not know you had to climb stairs. Knew it was a split level, but thought the second floor was level with the parking level

Great stay!
My family really enjoyed our stay! The kayaks were a big hit (although the older gentleman scolded us for leaving them in his grass!) he was nice, but we did not know rules about where the Kayaks could be left when not in use during the day. My kids hopped on and off several times so we left them out until dark. I would suggest noting where the property line is located and where proper storage of the kayaks would be “allowed”.
The house was conveniently located and in a quiet cove. We had most everything we needed during the stay and then some! The baby gate was not in the home so we did have to buy one once we arrived. Honestly, you need two for top and bottom of stairs since it’s a split level. We had our one year old with us so he was constantly heading toward the staircase. Otherwise, we had a nice visit and would return!

Family Vacation
Overall, we enjoyed our stay at Wood Duck Retreat. This is a pretty, updated older home with a great sloping back yard to the dock. Very nice kitchen appliances and washer/dryer.
Our main disappointment was that the listing showed three queens (one with bunk above) and one king....but two of the upstairs rooms had double beds, not queens. This made for uncomfortable sleeping. When I messaged Mark regarding this, he did not respond to my message at all but the listing was changed right away to reflect double beds. I would've appreciated some response regarding this.
We took our own pontoon and jetski and enjoyed being able to use the private dock. Some attention is needed to the house, such as a vent/fan needed in upstairs bathroom and more towel hooks to hang towels in upstairs bathroom. The back sliding door areas need to be cleaned - the tracks are really dirty.

Wonderful Property!!
We stayed her from WA for a wedding. The property was beautiful, home was well kept and just as advertised. Like previous reviews stated, limited necessary items available, so plan a trip to the store. Some of the items that were supplied (salt, pepper, cooking oil) were all empty, which was disheartening. The outside trash also didn’t make its way to the street before our arrival, so we were stuck trying to find a place to put our garbage before we left. We donated our pack n play, hoping another family can get use of it! Overall, we would definitely go back, and recommend this VRBO to friends for future stays. Beautiful property!

My family stayed at this location for a month, so we obviously were able to pick up on smaller things that could be done at the property that we definitely would have missed if we were there for a short time. The location is IDEAL and being on the lake was great. However, I booked the property for the yard for my children and in a months time they only had it mowed once upon my request. It was far too high to utilize, so the price tag for lack of maintenance was ridiculous. They also state that there are to be no pets. We booked the location thinking that this was a general rule - but there are dog rugs in the entrance and near the kitchen table. We found dog hair in the beds, sheets, and towels. I would definitely not book this location if you have an allergy as we had to wash all the sheets and utilize our stored sheets due to my husband's allergy. Again - GREAT location and probably excellent for short term renters - however I would not recommend if you are a pet free family and have small children.

Very nice house!
The house was very nice;but there were only two televisions in the house. Not in every room like we have all grown accustomed to. And we had to kill a lot of bugs and spiders.

Fabulous weekend!
My husband and I booked this house for a 3 day weekend with our 2 boys (aged 4 and 7). It was everything we wanted-clean, spacious, great yard to play in, good fishing off the dock, and the added bonus of 2 kayaks to take out on the lake! We roasted marshmallows and hot dogs in the fire pit and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Had one entire day of rain but the covered patio allowed us to still be outside a bit. It’s on a small quiet cove off the main channel-a bit narrow and shallow water but zero boat traffic. Everything was great. We are thinking about renting it again come springtime!

Duck Pond Loop
This property was better than expected. the house was clean and decorated for a lake stay. We had plenty of towels and blankets but not too much. The house was close to lots of food take out places and grocery stores and yet we felt very secluded. the neighborhood was great for walking and to see views of Lake Norman. We just wish we could have stayed longer.

Nice location
Lovely view of lake inlet, close by grocery stores. Clean and nicely remodeled. Took off one star overall because there are minor repairs needed and was unable to get an Amazon package I sent to the home. Rental docs should warn that packages won’t be delivered.

Great last minute find
We just lucked into this house being open the 4 days we wanted. Great Lake access, about 45 min- 1 hour boat ride from the Lake Norman Marina which is where the property management recommended. Not bad because we could just park the boat at the dock and rent it for multiple days. House was pretty clean, the back of the couch could have been vacuumed and living room rug could have used a better vacuum. I only noticed this because I have a infant who rolled around on it. Having Kayaks were nice, no other toys/games. Bring your own dish towels and wash cloths, bed linens and some towels were provided and nice. Beds were great and stripping sheets was easy just to leave on bed. My biggest gripe was that dishes have to be clean AND put away you can’t just leave the dishwasher running when you leave. Makes it hard to enjoy last morning coffee/breakfast with 6 adults and 3 kids. Make sure you bring Extra dish detergent, some was provided. Overall, great stay and would recommend it!

We really enjoyed staying here at the lake! The house is located in a little inlet so it’s very peaceful but easy to get to the main lake. Property was fantastic and as advertised. Would definitely stay here again!

Lake house
It was a large enough house for our family. It needs some work. Kitchen faucet is broken, there were clothes in one of the dressers so I’m not sure how clean it was. There weren’t any wash clothes or hand towels for the bathrooms. There were only 2 kitchen towels & no cleaning supplies for kitchen. You are required to put up kayaks & chairs however they weren’t put up when we got there. There are video cameras on the interior that face outside however I’m sure they are recording audio on the interior as the lights were always activated. You do have to make a trip to the store for all essentials before you even get settled as there isnt much to get you going for dishes, laundry, garbage bags, salt/pepper, etc
