About this property

Swim, kayak or paddle board from our Beach!!!

Most people call our place Paradise and it truly is! We do live on the property but travel frequently so we may or may not be home when you visit. You will have complete privacy.

We have a beautifully furnished 1280 sq. ft. two bedroom, one bath garage apartment ready for your enjoyment.; MAXIMUM OF 6 PEOPLE. Our kitchen is fully equipped for your cooking needs. The kitchen-living area is a large, open space where you can still enjoy family time while cooking. The living area has a flat screen TV for your enjoyment. Both bedrooms have queen beds. The master bedroom has a TV with a DVD player. The living area also has a queen size sleeper sofa. This apartment is situated directly behind our house (about 150' from the lake). Our property is located at the end of the street so we're secluded with lots of trees. We have a large dock with two boat slips and ladder (for swimming) plus a large seating area (no splinters-we used all recycled composite boards)! Enjoy our sandy beach area where kids can walk out into the lake to swim or sit and play in the sand (our grand kids love it)! Also enjoy our nice fire-pit area that overlooks the lake. It's a great place to roast marshmallows or hot dogs over an open fire in the evenings as you watch the moon come up over the main channel.

Bring your own boat or jet skis, there is boat launching nearby. Or, rent a boat by the day or week from What's Up Watersports, CS Rentals of LN, Lake Norman Marine and others that specialize in Jet Ski and pontoon rentals.

While our home is close to many good restaurants and other attractions you will feel that you have entered your own private retreat. We are about 10 miles from Mooresville, NC....also known as Race City USA. We supply your initial start up of toilet paper and paper towels. Enjoy all the comforts of home as you relax and build precious memories at our “Private Point” resort!! So.... come and enjoy!!! YOU'LL BE GLAD YOU CAME!!!

**Linens and bath towels are provided.**

We supply a start up of toilet tissue and paper towels.

Toiletry items are NOT provided, such as bath soap, shampoo, toothpaste, etc.

**BEACH TOWELS ARE NOT PROVIDED - PLEASE BRING THOSE.**

**This is a SMOKE FREE and PET FREE rental. Absolutely NO pets are allowed at the home.**

Across street is Hardee's, Taco Bell, Duncan Donuts, McDonald's, Cookout, etc.

Great vacation place
We stayed at Sandra's place at end of June. We liked the sandy beach on the property, which is quite unique. Kids loved it, and we stayed a lot of time in the water and on the beach. The location is fairly quiet, far from the touristy places like Huntersville. This is great for lower water traffic if you rent a boat from the nearby marina. The owners are very nice people. Will definitely recommend.

Excellent Experience
My family and I had an great stay. Everything was as advertised. The private beach and beachfront area was spectacular. We had so much fun with the kayaks and paddle board. The apartment is warm and invited and decorated like a lived in space and not like a hotel. This property is in a very quiet area away from anything touristy. We would stay again!

Amazing Property!
Our stay here was fantastic! The rental was extremely clean and well appointed. We had everything we needed our entire stay. The beach and dock area are great! Our two boys enjoyed many hours there fishing, swimming and paddle boarding. Sandra and Rex were great hosts, and checked on us to make sure everything was as expected. I would highly recommend this rental and look forward to returning in the future.

Fun Family Getaway
We had an amazing stay! Our hosts were the definition of Hospitable. The apartment was so clean and had everything we could possibly need. And the Beach and Boat Dock made for hours of water fun. Swimming, kayaking, Paddle boarding and some great fishing. We enjoyed our time by the fire pit making s'mores and talking. This was the getaway we needed and the accomodations met all our needs and then some. Great affordable getaway.

Lake Norman Retreat
The rental was beautiful and just as pictured. The lake was inviting and we enjoyed swimming and watching the boating activity. The area was quiet and relaxing. We would go back in a heartbeat! We stayed in the rental under the owners and it was quiet, nicely furnished and very comfortable with beautiful views!

Beautiful and Relaxing
We absolutely loved staying here in the lower level! It was spotlessly clean and very private. Our seven year old twins loved kayaking and swimming. The lake view was beautiful. It was also very close to the boat launch and marina. We enjoyed meeting Rex and hope to return again.

Nice accommodations!
My son and I were travelling to visit relatives and we stopped at Lake Norman, primarily so he could fish and I could hike, shop, etc. Rex and Sandy's garage apartment suited us just great and is very nice inside. Plan on about 15 minutes to the nearest grocery (we used the Publix) for your grocery needs. We also enjoyed the nearby State Park, which is about 20 minutes away. Hope to visit again!

Perfect getaway
I don't think I have ever stayed in a cleaner rental. We stayed in the 2-bdrm garage apartment, and the space was perfect for our family. The kitchen was well stocked, and beds and linens were comfy and cozy. The lake beach was shaded by trees most of the day, which helped keep us cool and sunburn-free. We loved the fire pit and all the beautiful trees. The hosts were friendly and accommodating. We will be back!

Relaxing vacation on the lake
We were so comfortable in the over-the-garage apartment on Rex and Sandra's lot. It's well-appointed and roomy. Our guests were comfortable, too. I rented a paddle board and enjoyed distance boarding on the incredible lake -- so many quiet coves to explore! We also explored the surrounding towns daily and enjoyed "discovering" the air park and local airplanes. We spent three weeks on the property and already it's embedded in our experiences as a wonderful respite.

Quick summer getaway
Very enjoyable stay. Apartment was very clean and the property is neat as a pin. Loved swimming, boating, and kayaking on the lake. There is alot to do in the area if you want to venture out or avoid the traffic and enjoy the lake. We have stayed at hotels all around the United States. This is the first time renting a home and must say it was very relaxing. Nice to be able to cook if you wanted. Sweet owner. We will book again.

We stayed a week with Rex and Sandra. Beautiful lake front home. We were able to put our boat in and use Rex and Sandra's dock. Loved the beach and kayaks. Rex and Sandra answered all questions promptly and were very accommodating. The apartment was immaculate and included every amenity needed. I recommend staying on Lake Norman with Rex and Sandra.

Perfect long weekend at the lake
We had 2 separate spaces (both ideal, clean and well-equipped) which enabled our immediate family to stay in the 2-bdr apartment over the garage while grandparents stayed in the main first level space. This was key during Covid-19; we hadn't felt comfortable sharing one space. Aside from that, the property itself was ideal with a great beach area with complimentary kayaks.

We loved staying at Rex and Sandra's apartment over their large garage! It has everything you need. It is very clean and nicely decorated. Very up to date! Seems brand new. The bathroom is huge! The property is perfect! Right on the lake...My kids loved the beach area which stays nice and shaded during the day. We rented jet skis close by and had such a good time! We can't wait to go back!!

About the host

Hosted by Rex and Sandra Wood

Host profile image
Rex has lived here for 35 plus years. We've been married for 25 years and have enjoyed living here at Private Point all these years. We have made many renovations over the years which I'm sure you will enjoy! Rex grew up in Yadkinville, NC and Sandra grew up in Hiddenite, NC. We enjoy meeting new people plus we love to travel ourselves!

Why they chose this property

It is beautiful, peaceful and secluded here. We have our own private beach which is definitely a plus if you have children. Lots of guests also enjoy our fire pit area at night. It's the perfect place to make s'mores and reminisce about the fun times. Most guests are not ready to leave when it's time to pack up and go. However; the majority of our guests are repeat customers. We built the garage apartment in 2012.

What makes this property unique

Absolutely gorgeous lake views, summer breezes and seclusion make this the perfect retreat. Our neighborhood is great for walking or riding bikes. Our house is situated at the end of a dead end street making it a quiet place to relax.
