Best property we have rented so far

We loved the water slide and location of the property. Didn’t notice a lot of bugs down at the dock. The house has clean and tidy upon arrival. We will definitely be back

Family Vacation

We loved our stay and hated to leave! The house was wonderful and offered lots of space. We went as a family with teens, they were able to enjoy the downstairs and adults upstairs. The dock and waterslide were a huge hit! Will definitely book again!

Multi family vacay

We really enjoyed our stay here! We loved everything this home had to offer. The location to the boat ramp and stores was great! The only thing that was mentioned was it would be nice to have an additional dock cleat. There was one side that only had one and we were docking boats to both sides. We look forward to vacationing at your home in the future. Thank you for sharing your home.

Kick off to Summer!

We came for a week after the kids finished school and had a blast! The kids loved the water slide and jumping off into deeper water! The area in front of the dock is surprisingly quiet with little boat traffic. The kids and some adults either swam or canoed to the island. That was a highlight of the trip for them! Bring a float and enjoy!

Wonderful vacation rental

The house is equipped with everything one needs. Lovely deck looking out at the lake. Flat screen TV's in every room. The only drawback - and only because two of us were seniors with some mobility issues - was that there was no bathroom downstairs. We had almost perfect weather and the water temperature was great. Bring a couple of noodles and soak! The kids loved the water slide, but I don't recommend it for seniors. Ron was quick to respond with any minor issues we had. Once I figured out the WI-FI password- small "S", it worked with all our devices. Highly recommend this vacation home. I would suggest that Ron offers a linen service and we would have gladly paid for it.

Great experience

Everything was easy. Owner very easy to get along with. Views are amazing and the house is very well set up for a mix of ages. My older kids had the downstairs while the adults were upstairs so everyone had their privacy but we were still able to have game night together upstairs on a rainy night. This is definitely our first choice at lake gaston.

Everything & more

Our visit was perfect. The owner was extremely responsive. He checked on us at check in & mid stay. Every question was answers quickly, although we only had one! The forst impression for us walking through the door was ITS SO CLEAN! The photos do not do the space justice. The screened in porch os quite a gem. The kayaks and canoes were so easy to launch beside the boathouse. The kitchen was fully stocked. All appliances worked. The bathrooms were clean. The deck is so spacious! The cove is a nice quiet cove. Perfect for our family getaway with children under 10. The water slide was a great hit! The directions, do’s/dont’s were very clear and easy to follow. The exterior has been updated and the wrap around deck was gorgeous. We will return!!

Hated to leave Paradise Point!

August 2021. We loved the view, kayaking, hanging on the dock, the slide, fire pit, close proximity of boat launch and the extra dock for our boat. Things to note.. the coffee pot also had an option for k-cup. The 2 full baths are upstairs with no bathroom downstairs (2 bedrooms downstairs).. you can’t beat the view, we had a great time! Plenty of room. We had 7 adult age people (2 couples).

Quintessential Lake House

Awesome property, this is the quintessential lake house. Great location to all Lake Gaston has to offer. The bathroom situation is a little wonky, 2 full baths in one room on main floor with shared sinks. No big deal for us, spent a ton of time outside jumping off dock, fishing, and enjoying the lake. Run don’t walk to book this place!

Beautiful Views & Great Location

We stayed at this house for a week in May and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The owner Ron is very organized and communicated very well with us. The house is set up well for both adults and young kids (we had our grandkids with us for a few days). The views are amazing and we had alot of fun swimming off the dock. There are a few docks so the guys could fish from the other two while we enjoyed the bigger dock with the water slide. Love this property and hope to stay again next year!

Wonderful Stay!

We enjoyed our vacation and appreciate how well-stocked the kitchen is, the cleanliness of the house, and the availability of the kayaks and canoe. Check-in was easy and Ron was quick to respond to my questions. My only critique would be to clarify the bathroom situation on the main description of the home. Thank you for everything!

Fun for kids

Overall we had a nice time. The lake is beautiful. September was a good time to go if you want less crowds on the water. Our kids had a great time with the dock and the slide. We enjoyed using the kayaks however both of the paddle boats listed in the amenities were broken and unusable. The house was clean except that the heating and air filters looked like they hadn't been changed in some time which I felt should be kept up with considering I was assuming extra cleaning measures would be taken because of covid-19. There are two things to know before renting this house that I would have liked to know before I booked it with no option for a refund. One is that the owner only allows two dogs. We searched for a house that allows pets since many in my family have dogs that we like to bring on vacation. Other listings state in the description how many pets are allowed but this one just said pets welcomed. Three families ended up having to kennel their dogs for the weekend which almost doubled the cost of our stay. The other thing I would have liked to know is that there are not really two bathrooms. There is one bathroom that has two toilets and two showers with a shared sink area.

Final Getaway for the Season

This property was just what the doctor ordered. There was plenty of room for everyone (5 Adults, 2 Teens & 2 Children). It was clean and comfortable. Felt like home away from home. Finally there was plenty of entertainment for everyone from Kayaks & Canoes to the Waterslide and simply relaxing on the dock which by the way there were 3 docks. One we used to swim from, one we used to dock our boats & one on the channel we used to fish from. It was wonderful!

Paradise Point is truly a paradise vacation

Our family had not taken a family vacation since our youngest was born. She is 9. Our oldest picked this vacation as her graduation present from us. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to relax!! The home was so beautiful and had everything we needed and more!! The lake was a great place to swim and kayaking to the island was so much fun!! The pier with the slide was a big hit, for the kiddos as well as the big kids (mom and dad) 😉! The waterfront view from every room was an added plus! Beautifully located, I would recommend Paradise Point to anyone and we look forward to returning again. Thanks for allowing us to create some never to forget family memories!!

We fell in love with the location when we rented it a few years ago. Plans are to rent for a few years until we retire here. I hope you will enjoy our "Little Piece of Heaven" and will come back year after year.
