Delightful weekend at the lake

This is a lovely, well equipped, cheerful lake-front house. My family had a wonderful weekend enjoying the water. The plentiful, well-spaced bedrooms and bathrooms were what we needed.

5th family vacation

Stellar communication with the home owners and their manager. Super easy to unload and load thru the garage. Lots of space to be close together or get alone time too. Perfect little inlet for us to be able to play from the dock with floats and the water was plenty deep to jump off the dock and easy for our friends to bring their boat over. The home stayed cool with lots of ceiling fans, plenty of blankets for those that don't enjoy the bit of chill after some sunshine.Love the way the sheets and towels are basketed to get what you need. Laundry and all appliances worked great and a bonus of the second fridge. All kids loved the paddle boards and the fire pit too!Of all the houses we have rented for our time at Lake Gaston this one is for sure a contender for next year if we are welcomed back.Thanks a bunch for sharing your home away from home.

Enjoyed our shortened stay

We arrived on Saturday to thunderstorms and power outages, however the home generator ran for over 24 hours, keeping us comfortable. Unfortunately, due to Hurricane/Storm Debbie and impending poor weather, we left for home on Tuesday evening/Wednesday morning. We enjoyed a pontoon boat on Monday, and would have loved to enjoy more of the beautiful home and location, especially the lake-maybe next time! The house was beautiful-

Great stay

The house was very nice. From the moment we pulled into the driveway the property met our expectations. My family and friends stayed during spring break and we had a fantastic experience. The home was clean with great common areas and kid friendly game room. The office came in very handy for me as I still had work to do on vacation. We had fires every night at the fire pit and made full use of the boat house for dock fishing and parking our boat. We would stay again and I would recommend this to others.

We Love Sunrise Cove!

This was our second year, and despite mother nature trying to ruin it with rain and cooler temps, we still had an amazing time. The house is beautiful, comfortable and offers numerous fun activities. But the highlight to me is always the boathouse and dock. Perfect waters for swimming, paddle boarding, kayaking and fishing. I found myself many times just sitting on the dock completely relaxed and enjoying the amazing water view. We plan to be back next year. Thanks for sharing your home with us again!

Beautiful Spot!

We loved the house and property! It was very comfortable for our group. We appreciated being able to dock our boat and use the kayaks. Our only criticism is that the pantry and refrigerator had crumbs and spills that were not cleaned up prior to our arrival. A quick wipe down took care of that. If you plan on cooking a lot, you may want to bring sharp knives and serving platters. Very nice! Beautiful sunrises.

All in the Family

This is a huge and beautiful property. It accommodated 14 persons comfortably. The family loved the openness of the house and the view. The only thing that caused a little snip was the weather but we turned it around and made it our pajama day. There were enough bathrooms so that no one was late for our 9:00am take off for our homegoing service. Everyone said that they loved the property. There were a couple of minor nicks but the property manager assured me that they would be taken care of. Property manager was very responsive and nice.

Beautiful cove with main lake views

Beautiful well equipped home. We really enjoyed the deep water cove with main lake views from the dock. We got a lot of use out of stand up paddle board. The fire pit was great and fire wood was provided which was very convenient and appreciated. Little welcome gift was a great touch and we loved the little packet which changed the color of the fire. My only complaint was the construction next door Monday thru Friday which we were not aware of and the garbage pail not being large enough for a weeks stay. I needed to take my additional garbage with me upon check out. Still a great property and would definitely rent again. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us.

Another Amazing Weekend!!!

We always love our weekend stay at Sunrise Cove. The home is beautiful. The lake views, especially sunrises, are spectacular! And there's so much to do during the stay. We had an issue with finding the kayak seats, left a message on VRBO, and instantly received a response from the property manager who helped us find them. That's excellent service! We had a friend catch his first fish...a large channel catfish. And my son caught his first bass. But best of all is just relaxing on the dock sharing time with good friends and family. Thank you Greg & Karen for sharing your home once again.

Family fun

Our multi-generation extended family gathered at Sunrise Cove for a week of fun. The house was perfect for us. The dock and cove are great for swimming, kayaking and paddle boarding. The boards and kayak were provided by the owners and were appreciated. We rented a boat and tied up to the dock - worked well. The refrigerator on the dock was nice and allowed us to keep beverages and snacks handy. The house was spacious and the long table allowed family game nights. We especially enjoyed the screened porch for morning coffee. The kitchen was well stocked. The owners were great to work with and the property manager was helpful. We felt at home and welcomed! Thank you Karen and Greg.

Fabulous home! I get like I was in my own home. Owners have everything you need.

Our family’s first get together with Al of our children and grandchildren. It was perfect for everyone. Plenty of rooms and beds. We cooked the entire time we were there and owners had everything you needed. Dock and boat house were great to jump off of dock into deep water and tie up our floats and kayaks. Nice lift for my husbands kayak and space for the pontoon boat. We will definitely return! Thank you Karen and Greg for sharing your home. The Musicks

Amazing Weekend

The house is gorgeous and in a great location. Convenient to the main lake but sheltered from most of the boat traffic. The house was perfect for what we were looking for to have a fun relaxing weekend getaway. Boathouse and dock were awesome. Caught several bass, catfish and other fish from the dock. And many cannonballs into the deep water off the end of the dock. House was clean and appointed with just about everything we needed. And the welcome gift basket was a very nice touch. We definitely plan to be back at Sunrise Cove next year!

Beautiful house and lake view!

We all (ages 30 to 84) enjoyed our time at Sunrise Cove! The house is beautiful and you can tell the owners spent a lot of time on the "extras" that turn a good VRBO rental into a great one! Little things like a charging station downstairs for your electronics, speakers to play music down on the boat dock, a fully stocked kitchen, and more. We fished off the dock, kayaked in the cove, and spent a few evenings enjoying the fire pit. If you are looking for a nice place at the lake, this is it! Owners and Property Manager were great to deal with. Highly recommend!

Christmas in October

We chose to celebrate Christmas early this year because schedules and weather often mess us up. None of my family had ever stayed at the lake. They fell in love! This home is beautiful and fully equipped. It was spotless. The quiet cove is perfect for floating and kayaking. We hope to go again next year.

Great spot on the lake

The home is in a great spot on the lake, It's in a wide cove, but not to long, so you have short run to the main lake. But, at the same time a prefect place of lounging in the water or swimming because not many boats go into this cove. The home is beautiful, and you'll love reading all the signs throughout the house.

About the host

Hosted by Karen P Kern

Host profile image
We are a military family with Greg's service of 20 years in the Air Force. We retired in Virginia and always look forward to the time we spend in North Carolina at our Lake Gaston Home. It is truly a wonderful place to relax as a couple or to reconnect with our extended family and friends.

Why they chose this property

Before you find the perfect house at the lake, you have to find the perfect lot with the perfect water. We found all of them in one. Deep water with room to swim at the dock without main lake boat traffic or constant waves. But also not down in a narrow cove. We have a wide open area around our dock with main lake views and deep water. We have high speed internet even at the dock so you can stream your favorite tunes or work on that spreadsheet if you have to. This house is great for families with kids. There is a separate upstairs bonus room for the kids to watch tv or play games. There is also plenty of outdoor play space in the front yard as well as the backyard with dock close by. House is located in a quiet & safe neighborhood with very little street traffic, which is great for walking or going for a jog.

What makes this property unique

Boathouse & dock just steps away from the house, so you don't have to take a long walk to get to the water. Very convenient.
