Lakefront Pool, Hot Tub, Game Room + Kayaks** Welcome to Aqua Vista — a gorgeous 6-bedroom Lake Norman home with a brand-new heated pool, hot tub, outdoor kitchen, game room, kayaks, and beautiful lake-facing views.

Just beside it, the covered outdoor kitchen and lounge area gives you a shaded spot to grill, grab drinks from the mini fridge, and stay close to the action without being in the sun all day. There's even an outdoor shower and bathroom! PLEASE NOTE: a heated pool means 78-82 degrees and is not at the same temperature as a hot tub. Heating is only available April/May and September/October - normal environmental temperatures will determine the water temperature Winter and Summer. Inside, the home has the space and comfort that larger groups actually need. There are 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, sleeping up to 18 guests. Three bedrooms face the lake, including the large primary suite with a king bed, beautiful views, a spacious ensuite bathroom with walk-in shower and soaking tub, and a commercial-grade massage chair that is exactly the kind of bonus everyone will quietly hope they get a turn in after a full day of swimming, kayaking, and playing. The other main-floor bedroom has a queen bed, while upstairs includes 2 king rooms, 1 queen room, and a large bonus room with two sets of bunk beds and trundles that sleeps 8 total. Every bedroom includes a smart TV, which makes downtime easy for families and mixed-age groups. The conditioned garage game room adds another full layer of entertainment, with ping pong, shuffleboard, basketball, a TV, and more. It’s a great setup for kids, teens, and adults who want something fun to do between pool time, lake time, and meals. Outside, the extremely flat yard gives everyone even more space to play, stretch out, and enjoy the lakefront setting. For water lovers, Aqua Vista includes 2 tandem kayaks for up to 4 people and 2 single kayaks for 2 more people, giving guests an easy way to enjoy Lake Norman right from the property. When you’re ready for a quieter moment, the large screened porch off the living room is one of the best spots in the house, with comfy lounge seating and a relaxed view toward the water. Wishlist Vacations provides all linens, towels, soaps, coffee, and more so you can settle in easily and enjoy the home from the moment you arrive.

As the sky turns gold, gather around the firepit, let conversations stretch a little longer, and settle into the rhythm of lake life. With laundry on-site, blazing fast WiFi, and groceries and dining just five minutes down the peninsula, everything you need is close — but it’ll feel miles away. This isn’t just a place to stay. It’s where lake days turn into the stories you tell all year. ⚓ DOCK & LAKE FAQ • Dock and water: Typical Summer (~8+ ft depth) Winter (~4+ ft).

Set on 7 secluded, wooded acres, this home isn't just a place to sleep—it’s an experience. Whether you’re crossing your private bridge to arrive, grilling on the Blackstone under cafe lights, or hosting a tournament in the massive game room, every corner of this updated retreat was designed for connection and comfort. The magic of Wander begins the moment you cross the private bridge and pull up to the wooded 7-acre estate. Inside, you’re greeted by an open-concept layout that feels both spacious and incredibly cozy.
