About our home....

With the exception of the famous 10-bedroom "MacDaddy" home, (also our property vrbo.com/294173) this home (Summer Place) is the #1 ranked vacation property on all of Lake Gaston according to the comprehensive survey from Lake Gaston Rental Homes, LLC. (It was also #1 for 6-bedrooms and below category)


All the 'typical' information is listed below, however, the reason that this home was recently ranked (by far) as a top ranked vacation home is because of the spectacular combination of main lake location, views, quality, and many, many touches throughout the entire house.

The owners spend an average of 70 nights+ per year at the home with their family and are constantly monitoring the home and adding upgrades each and every year.

Recent 'extras' that have been added:
Underwater fishing lights that allow you to see the water come to life with huge fish once the sun goes down. Our kids have caught over 1,000 fish right off the boat dock over the years. From small pan fish to trophy catches. 10-year-old Zack has the longest fish (40' gar) and 12-year-old Jake has the heaviest catch with a 40 lb catfish caught right off of our dock.

Sonos music system on the boathouse and in the main house. Control your own music from your iPhone/droid with a free app.

82' Samsung smart HDTV in basement (11 total TV’s throughout property)

Even better... 3 outdoor TV’s. Watch your favorite game or Netflix from the hot tub, fire 🔥 pit or boathouse.

Square footage – 4,400
Bedrooms- 6 bedrooms, 5 include full baths with main lake views & 1 with private balcony
Sleeps: 20 max
Bed Count: 3 Kings, 5 Queens, 2 sets of twin bunks = 20 in beds
Bathrooms – 5 full, 1 half
Double Boat House with Trex decking and Party Deck on top. Great outdoor furniture & 5' yeti cooler for guest use. New & Amazing...TV and shaded sitting area on lower level of the boathouse.

Commercial ice machine

Wi-Fi: yes (with boosters for boathouse coverage)

What makes Summer Place different than the other rental homes on Lake Gaston?

For several years we owned & managed several beautiful homes on Lake Gaston. We successfully sold that business, because it was simply too frustrating to have homeowners not invest in their own homes for the satisfaction of our guests. We now only own and operate the "MacDaddy" home on Lake Gaston and rent out Summer Place on a limited basis.

Need more space? Check out our other property, the MacDaddy (VRBO 294173)!

Good times…
This property was a lot of fun and well care for. The bedrooms/baths were nice, kitchen had all the essentials, the outdoor activities and amenities were amazing and fun! Owner had the cooler on the deck filled with ice ready for our arrival. The only negative I can think of was the dog hair on the living room furniture. All in all it was a lovely and welcoming home.

About the host

Hosted by Vicki Daltorio

Host profile image
The Daltorio's are a family of 7 who enjoy making memories at the lake. We originally built our home just for our family. Then, we started offering our home for rent when we weren't able to use it due the activities of five kids. Our family continues to grow with one daughter-in-law, one son-in-law, three grandsons, and two granddaughters added to the family! We're glad others have the chance to enjoy our home when we cannot!

Why they chose this property

-Not a rental! - You'll quickly see this is a second home with quality throughout, we just happen to rent on a limited basis.
-Sunsets - Top of the boathouse allows not only 10+ jumps into the lake but also best views of sunsets
-Fishing - No need to travel...fish right of the dock and catch over 10 different species of fish
-Swimming - great location and deep clean water with very little boat traffic close to home.
-Fun X5 - The new Aqua Trampoline with slide & log are best on the lake and anchored just 50 feet of our dock. Seasonal mid-May to mid-September.
-Location - Best location on the lake just minutes from restaurants, bars, marinas etc. by boat or by land.

Optional - Best boat available on Lake Gaston. Contact us for details.

What makes this property unique

When you take a vacation at a lake, it is very different from a typical beach vacation. We own investment properties at the beach, but our best memories and vacations have all been at Lake Gaston. A few helpful hints to remember: On the ocean, all homes have beautiful views. On the lake, not all views are created equally. The south side of the lake has tremendous sunset views. The Main Lake views are a must on vacation vs. being tucked away in a small or shallow water cove. Fortunately for us, our home offers the best of all of these options, and our previous renters whole-heartedly agree!
