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.
85” Samsung smart HDTV in basement (11 total TV’s throughout property)

About the host
Hosted by Vicki Daltorio
The Daltorio's built this home as a family of 7 who have enjoyed making memories at the lake over the years. Today we're a family of 14 now as 7 grand children have doubled the size of our family. 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 our five kids. 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+ foot 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 approximately mid-May to mid-September depending on the weather. -Location - Best location on the lake just minutes from restaurants, bars, marinas etc. by boat or by land.
What makes this property unique
When you take a vacation at a lake, it is very different from a typical beach vacation. We have owned 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!
