Beachfront vacation rentals in Western North Carolina

Absolutely phenomenal stay at Lance and Karin’s home in Lake Wylie, South Carolina! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the modern old-day charm of the house — a perfect blend of cozy warmth and tasteful design. But what truly sets this place apart is the breathtaking view of the lake right in the backyard. Whether you’re into swimming, canoeing, or just lounging in the beach chairs by the water, there’s something incredibly calming about being so close to nature. And if that’s not enough, the large deck off the back of the house is ideal for sitting back, relaxing, and taking it all in. As someone who uses Airbnb regularly, I can honestly say this home is a 10 out of 10. My children and wife enjoyed every single minute — from the water activities to just spending quality time together in such a peaceful setting. If you’re looking for a place to recharge, relax, and escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life, do yourself a favor and spend a day or two here. Lance an

We all enjoyed our visit it was the perfect spot to visit our daughter who works at a summer camp nearby! We will definitely stay here again!

Sweetwater cottage was such a cozy and relaxing spot. It is also close to local restaurants and shops. We came to the area to watch the Coca Cola 600 race. Georgia was extremely helpful and quick to respond to any questions I had.

My family and I stayed at Austin’s home for a Father’s Day getaway and it did not disappoint. Austin’s house was exactly as pictured. Super clean, had all the things I needed away from home, and was so peaceful. My kids did not want to leave as his house provided them with all things outdoors that we don’t typically do. They enjoyed fishing, campfires, paddle boarding, jumping off the dock onto this floating island mat, touring Lake Norman on his beautiful boat and best of all having a BLAST on the water tube. My husband and I appreciated the relaxing hot tub while taking in all the beauty of the lake. Austin was so quick to respond to my questions and was just a joy!! We shared some special bonding time together as a family because Austin’s house provided the perfect space to do so. We would absolutely come back and stay at his place in the future.

Everything was awesome. Very quick to respond. Would definitely stay again.

Rick met us as we arrived, was very friendly, and showed us around the cabin and grounds. We'd stay there again.

This was my second time staying in the beautiful cabin right on the Toccoa river. Immediately upon entry, I feel cozy and peaceful. Opening the glass doors to hear the constant rush of the river sues my soul. The cabin looks exactly as in the pictures. The beds are super comfortable. The kitchen is fully stocked. The drive into Blue Ridge and the grocery store is about 20 to 25 minutes and that was fine. I brought all the food made ahead of time so we would not have to venture out for food much. The Toccoa swinging bridge is about 10 minutes away. Fall branch Falls is about 20 minutes away, Toccoa River restaurant about 12 minutes. Amicalola falls and Elijay about 40 minutes away. Hope to return often.

We stayed for our 15th wedding anniversary and all I can say is WOW! We had the best time! Beautiful surroundings, super comfy bed, and plenty of room! Loved our stay and Rob was super responsive! Can’t wait to go back!

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful house! The breathtaking mountain view was unbelievable, and the house itself was so cozy and comfortable, with comfy furniture and beds. The kitchen had everything we needed, even for our large group. Having access to Rumbling Bald was a fantastic bonus – we really enjoyed the indoor pool and mini-golf. Communication with the host was excellent, and check-in was smooth. We highly recommend this house for a peaceful family retreat. The only downside? Our kid was so sad when it was time to leave!!! Thank you, Kathleen, we will definitely come back.

We enjoyed our stay at Kim's place. It was very convenient to our son's wedding venue on Lake Fairfield. The area is so beautiful and Kim's place was very clean, well appointed and updated. It was easy to find and easy to access per the directions. Kim was always responsive to any questions I had and the clear communication was appreciated. We would definitely book again.

We had a great time! My kids loved going on the canoe in the pond. We also loved going to the pool after a day out apple picking and hiking. The mornings are also peaceful sitting on the porch with a cup of coffee listening to the waterfall.

This was a great house to stay at. Very comfortable and home like. Loved the view and the large deck. Had everything we needed including toys for kids. Good area, near lots of stuff to do including using the resort amenities, restaurants, waterfalls and shopping. Would stay again.

Loved staying in this well appointed condo with lovely finishes and amenities. We would absolutely stay here again.

Our family of 5 really enjoyed our stay. The view was breathtaking and exactly as pictured in the listing. Cody was easy to communicate with and responsive when we had a small issue with the hot tub. We had intended to use the kayaks but found the walk to the lake much farther and steeper than we had expected and ultimately decided to pass, which was disappointing. Aside from that, our stay was great. The house was exceptionally clean and had many thoughtful touches that contributed to a positive experience. We especially loved spending mornings and evenings on the screened-in porch. The house is very close to other properties but we never felt our privacy was compromised and were not disturbed by any noise from anyone else. Overall, a great stay with a kind host. Would definitely recommend!

I can’t say enough wonderful comments about the Sapphire Jewel. The condo is quiet, well appointed, with beautiful, comfortable furniture and everything you need. It was a perfect home away from home for us for our almost 3 week stay. The beds are extremely comfortable, WiFi is fast, and the community is very friendly. When you sit out in the screened in porch, it feels like you are floating in the trees. Our family was able to work, relax and use the condo as a peaceful home base. The amenities were great, we loved taking advantage of the gym and fishing daily in the private lake. Elizabeth is very responsive and makes sure you have everything you need. If you want to explore this beautiful area, you will be very happy if you choose to stay at the Sapphire Jewel.

Donna was quite proactive in reaching out to us before and during our stay. She is personable and kind.

Loved every bit of our stay! Thank you for having us!

Awesome place!! Perfect location in the middle of Lake Keowee. Owners were so fun to meet! Will definitely stay again!

We visited the cabin the week between Christmas and New Year’s. Cynthia’s home was friendly, cozy and beautifully decorated for Christmas. The interior was furnished and accessorized with a very homey Ralph Lauren vibe. The property was well stocked and squeaky clean. Located directly on the Toccoa River the personality of the River was fascinating. There is an abundance of hiking in the Aska Trail System and many great restaurants and shops in Blueridge. We loved The Pasta Market and Ferrari’s and of course the obligatory Toccoa Riverside Restaurant. Cynthia was lovely to work with and very responsive to our questions. Overall our stay was wonderful and we look forward to visiting again.

Shannon was incredibly helpful, communicative, and flexible. Her place was epic, as advertised. 10/10 recommend!

Host, Marianne, was so welcoming and texted us before and after our stay to make sure we had everything that we needed! This cabin seems very new, was very clean, and has all the amenities you need for a secluded getaway. It was the perfect size and setup for our family of three and even with rain most of our days, the screened-in porch offered a great way to be outside and listening to the rain on the tin roof was amazing! Note that there is no wifi, but that almost made the vacation better for us.

Jeff’s place was beyond beautiful! The space was just as described and perfect for a weekend getaway! The kitchen was well equipped with everything needed to cook brunch and dinner. The sunset over the water is breathtaking! Jeff was so responsive to messages, and provided food and grocery recommendations! I would be honored to stay again!

Staying at Melinda and Andy’s at Lake Lure is our family’s favorite summer tradition. This is our fifth summer and we look forward to it all year. Kayaking, floating, and swimming on the lake; family games and meals on the porch; seeing turtles, swimming with ducks, and catching lizards; outings to Chimney Rock, Asheville, and Black Mountain; hiking, lying or reading on the daybed porch swing; making a fire for s’mores lakeside. This is a special place and we are grateful to have made so many family memories here.

I highly recommend a stay at the Creek House! It was wonderful. I loved sitting on the porch listening to the creek. Other family members enjoyed a dip in it! The hot tub was great after a long hike on the AT. Beds were super comfy too. The house had all the amenities we needed for a nice Easter brunch. We made some great memories and would love to come back. Thanks for hosting!
