Thank you! We’re so glad you enjoyed the backyard and dock—those are definitely some of the most special features of the property. We’d love to host you again anytime!
We loved our stay! The house is incredibly clean, has a well stocked kitchen, plenty of linens (there were only 7 of us), and lots of different areas to hang out. We were a small group so we didn't need to spread out but for a larger group or multiple age ranges, this house would be especially convenient. The pool and jacuzzi were great, as was the outdoor room and water toys. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wouid love to return.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear you loved your stay and enjoyed the cleanliness, well-stocked kitchen, and all the different spaces to relax. It’s great to know the pool, jacuzzi, and outdoor areas were highlights as well.
We really appreciate your thoughtful insight about the home being ideal for larger or multi-generational groups. That’s exactly what it’s designed for. We’d absolutely love to host you again anytime!
The house truly is amazing, and I would definitely recommend staying here! We absolutely loved spending time in the hot tub and pool, both of which offer beautiful views overlooking the lake. The home was also fully stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay.The only hiccup was with the bedroom layout: between the time we booked and our stay, the home had been updated and one of the beds shown in the online pictures was removed without prior notice. While the host was receptive and listened to our concerns when we brought it up, nothing could be done to change the setup once we arrived.Despite that surprise, it’s a wonderful property and we overall really enjoyed our time here!

Soaking in the hot tub and pool with those lake views sounds like the perfect way to unwind, and we love that the home had everything you needed to settle in comfortably. Thank you as well for flagging the bedroom setup. We understand how a change from what you expected can be frustrating, and we've passed your feedback along to the team to make sure listing details stay accurate. It means a lot that you'd recommend the home despite that surprise, and we'd love to welcome you back for another lakeside getaway!
Thank you, Joshua! We're so glad to hear everything was excellent during your stay. We truly appreciate the recommendation and hope to welcome you back again soon.
The house was wonderful....very spacious....kitchen was very well-stocked. Two favorite features of the house were the hot tub ( enjoyed by the teens) and the ping pong table ( enjoyed by all!). We had a very enjoyable weekend!

Thank you, Nancy! We're so happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay and that the house was spacious and well-stocked. It's great to know that the hot tub and ping pong table were highlights for your group! We hope you had a fantastic weekend, and we’d love to host you again!
This property was perfect for our large family. Plenty of room to spread out. We loved the pool, the outdoor kitchen, the screened in porch, the location on the lake. The kids were able to fish off the dock and kayak and paddleboard. Nice sized pool. We have already booked for next year!

Thanks, Noah! We are so glad you were so happy with your stay! We can't wait to have you back!
The house both inside and out was fantastic. The online listing is a very accurate representation of what you will experience while staying there. I would recommend this house to anyone looking to have a lakefront trip of any sort.

Thanks Scott! We are so glad you all had a great time! We hope you will be back soon!
This home was wonderful. We had a party of 10 and there was more than enough space for everyone. The house is very well kept and feels very cozy. Pool, hot tub and grill were great. We rented a pontoon boat which was dropped off to the dock. The lake itself is pristine and within distance to multiple restaurants by boat.
Overall we had a great experience at this property. Our only suggestion is to have some sort of hand rail from the driveway down to the dock, as it was steep for our older family members.

Thank you Manisha for your feedback! We are so glad you and your guests had a great time. We hope you will be back to stay with us again!
We had the best time at this property for my husband’s 40th birthday! We had a total of 4 families (adults and small children) staying and we all had room to spread out and had plenty to do. We loved the pool and dock as well as the outdoor kitchen and big screened-in porch with comfy furniture and TV. Everything was just like the pictures but somehow even better when you’re in the space. It really is a large property with a lot of lake frontage and great amenities. There were lots of supplies (bath towels, beach towels, plates, good selection of spices, lots of different kitchen equipment and storage containers, etc.). The management company was also very responsive when we had questions. If you can splurge, I’d highly recommend renting a boat during your stay. Lake Effects dropped off and picked up a pontoon boat and having that was really the icing on the cake. Highly recommend!!

Thank you, Emily for the amazing feedback! We are so glad you and your guests had an amazing time! We hope you husband had an amazing birthday and you will get to come back to Oasis at Ballycastle again soon!
Our stay was very nice…
Lots of room for everyone and very spacious.
The view was amazing… we rented a tritoon boat that was brought to our dock.
The pool and jacuzzi were put to good use.
The outside kitchen area was well equipped and we enjoyed a fire pit down by the lake.
The Weber grill igniter was not working properly but we lit it ourselves.We couldn’t get in the front door at first but were able to get help immediately due to the wrong code that was given to us. The outdoor screen porch area was lovely with the fireplace but needed to be cleaned under the couch.
Overall our stay and the communication with the property management company was great. One observation…for larger parties a larger couch in the main TV area would be nice.
Thank you for helping to make our family weekend a memorable experience.

Thank you so much for your detailed feedback, Andrea! We’re so happy to hear that you had a great time and made the most of the wonderful amenities, from the boat and pool to the outdoor kitchen and fire pit by the lake. It sounds like you had a memorable family weekend! We appreciate you letting us know about the Weber grill igniter and the front door code issue—sorry for the inconvenience, but we’re glad we could help quickly. We also appreciate your suggestion regarding the outdoor screen porch and the couch in the main TV area. We’ll look into these details to make the space even more comfortable for larger groups.
Thanks again for your kind words about the communication with our team and for sharing your experience. We’d love to welcome you back for another stay!
A great spot for all of our family to connect and enjoy all the house has to offer.

Would have been amazing
We booked this trip for extended family to meet from across the country to celebrate my in-laws' 50th anniversary. The property itself is beautiful and the outdoor spaces are just as impressive as pictured. We spent much of our time in the pool, paddleboarding, kayaking, and relaxing in the outdoor lounge areas.
There were small amenities like extra sunscreen, games, pickleball paddles, and kitchen items that were thoughtful and helpful during the week. I would suggest getting some window treatments for the upstairs loft and downstairs bunkroom, as we had kids in both of those rooms and the light came through very early with no blinds or curtains.
Truly, our only issues during the week were with the property management company. While quick to respond, our property manager was not particularly helpful in fixing items that we mentioned during the week. We had some housekeeping items that were not addressed and were told "Oh, that fan is too ornate to clean properly and the spider webs on the porch are the exterminator's problem." Six of our guests were missing bath towels the first night and we had to personally handle the receipt of a new refrigerator delivery because the downstairs one was broken when we arrived. While each small on its own, the combination of these issues complicated our relaxing vacation week.
As a side note, we had a boat and jet ski rental delivered from Lake Effects during the week and it was a seamless and efficient process. Highly recommend.
Our family enjoyed this home immensely! We had all the amenities we needed for a family get together. Proximity to the airport was a plus. Property Management was super responsive to questions, everything was perfect!
Wonderful home for a large family vacation. Only had a couple minor issues with the property that management was very quick to respond to and resolve. Would certainly book again in the future.

Thanks Matt, glad you all had a great time at Oasis at Ballycastle!
Wonderful vacation home, especially for a large group!
My entire family had the privilege of staying in this beautiful home for almost a week. 12 of us celebrated Thanksgiving there together. Even though it was cold, we enjoyed the outdoor hot tub every day, and a few of us used the kayaks and paddle board. The house was beautiful, comfortable, we had plenty of room to spread out in the house and on the property, everyone had their own bed and space, no one felt crammed ever. The drive out to the property is beautiful, the neighborhood is nice, quiet and felt very safe. We saw deer walking through the neighborhood daily and took several walks. The house was very well stocked with kitchen supplies, laundry supplies, toiletries, and even tons of lake and pool toys. We all enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this home to others!!

Thank you Kim! We are so happy to hear you all enjoyed your time at Flip Flop Therapy!
This was our first time at this location, but our sixth time staying on Lake Norman. The house was very well stocked and nicely updated. We really enjoyed the pool and out door kitchen. We would definitely consider vacationing here again.

Thanks Perry, glad you enjoyed this house! Please keep Lakecations in mind for your next trip to Lake Norman!
The Oasis at Ballycastle was our beautiful home fir a week for eight adults and seven children. There was plenty of room for everyone. Having the pool was great and we rented a boat from Lake Effects for the week. It was a dream vacation come true!

Thanks, Edward! Glad you got to enjoy all the great spaces at Oasis!
Lake Norman is absolutely amazing!! And to be able to rent this beautiful house in a quiet cove was unbelievable! This house had plenty of room for our group of 10 with 5 beds to spare. Bedding was comfortable & clean, bathrooms were plentiful which meant no waiting, kitchen was spacious but lacked pots & pans (which were brought over by the management company & more arrived from the owner), the loft area was perfect for the teen girls to hang out in & the boys loved the Foosball table & large TV in the basement. The outside areas just complimented the house...from the pool to the outside kitchen to the outside TV which movies were watched almost every night to the amazing sunsets!! Would definitely rent a boat especially in the summer months because that heat can be killer. We all had an amazing trip to Lake Norman & a great stay & Oasis at Ballycastle!! We all highly recommend this place!
The outdoor space was amazing and great breeze in the pavilion. We like to do puzzles and having a second dining table to do those at was great. And we were able to dock our boat. Family of 10 adults with plenty of room to stretch out around the property.
