About this property

Lake Gaston Waterfront - No Steps to Dock - Big Views & Family Fun

  • A FRESH LOOK FOR SUMMER 2027!

    Exciting improvements are underway at Absolutely Shore! Our planned off-season renovations include updates to the home’s exterior, outdoor living spaces, dock and boathouse. We’ve also recently installed new flooring downstairs and new carpet in the bedrooms.

    We are setting aside the construction period for this work, with summer 2027 reservations available on our calendar. Updated photos will be added as projects are completed. Current photos may show areas before renovation; please message us if you have questions about a particular feature before booking.

    WELCOME TO ABSOLUTELY SHORE

    Bring the family, settle in, and enjoy life on Lake Gaston! Located in West Winds just off the main lake, Absolutely Shore offers wide-cove and main-lake views from a gently sloping 1.8-acre property with approximately 320 feet of shoreline—and no steps along the route to the dock.

    With nearly 3,700 square feet, four bedrooms, four full bathrooms, and sleeping accommodations for up to 11 guests, there’s room to gather together and space to spread out. Starlink internet keeps you connected when you need it.

    GATHER, COOK & RELAX

    The open main level features vaulted ceilings, lake views, a gas fireplace, and direct access to the screened porch and large deck. The spacious kitchen includes stainless steel appliances, double ovens, a large island, and plenty of room to prepare family meals. Combined dining seating accommodates up to 18.

    The kitchen is stocked with dishes, utensils, cookware, bakeware, drinkware, a blender, toaster, mixer, and slow cooker. A drip coffee maker and single-serve Keurig help get your mornings started.

    Both levels offer family rooms with 70-inch TVs, sound systems or soundbars, and YouTube TV. Downstairs, a second kitchen/bar area includes a refrigerator, dishwasher, and sink, with walkout access to the covered patio.

    BEDROOMS & BATHROOMS

    • Main-level primary suite with a private bathroom and large closet.
    • Main-level queen bedroom with lake views and a walk-in closet.
    • Main-level bunk room with full-over-full bunk beds and a twin trundle.
    • Lower-level primary suite with a private bathroom, large closet, and sliding-door access to the covered patio.

    Two additional full bathrooms—one on each level—give everyone extra room to get ready. Linens and bath towels are provided, and a high-capacity washer and dryer are available on the main level.

    FUN INSIDE & OUT

    Challenge the family to ping-pong, or one of the available board games. Outside, enjoy cornhole in the spacious yard, a quiet evening around the waterside fire pit, or a relaxing seat on the screened porch.

    A Weber gas grill and Blackstone griddle are available for outdoor cooking.

    YOUR TIME ON THE LAKE

    Spend your days kayaking, fishing, lounging by the water, or exploring Lake Gaston. Two kayaks are available for guest use, and the dock offers space to tie up your boat.

    Water depth at the end of the dock is typically approximately 4–5 feet, depending on lake levels, with the bottom gradually sloping into the cove. Please assess conditions and supervise children around the water.

    Dock and boathouse improvements are part of our renovation plans. We’ll update photos and details as the work is completed so you can see the finished setup before your stay.

    Head out by boat to explore lakeside dining and marinas, or stay home and enjoy a meal with a view.

    Bring your family, your lake plans, and a little time to unwind. We look forward to welcoming you to Absolutely Shore!

    BEFORE YOU BOOK

    Please review the listing’s current house rules, payment and damage-deposit terms, and rental agreement before reserving. If you have questions about the renovations or an amenity that is especially important to your stay, please send us a message.

Wonderful vacation place with beautiful views! The only downfall was parking in the front of the house. It was pretty tight getting down the driveway with boat trailers but we made it work! We will definitely be back :)

Summer vacation

With this being our first trip to Lake Gaston we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. The home is as beautiful as the pictures show, and being in a quiet cove was so relaxing. The hosts were so accommodating and were quick to answer all my questions. Definitely a 10 out of 10!

Great location

The house is located in a quiet cove right off main lake( which you can see from the house). My family included all ages-89 years old to 2 week old. Love having the beds already made on your arrival. Owner was quick to respond to my question the day of arrival and even checked to make sure everything had gone smoothly on checkout. Would definitely recommend house to anyone looking to rent on Lake

Lake Gaston Visit

A very nice Property and a great place to relax and unwind, with easy access to the lake. There were 7 people in our party with ages ranging from 90 down to 13. All had plenty of space. The open concept living/kitchen area, makes for a wonderful family gathering place. I highly recommend Lake Gaston Summer rentals for your boat and jet ski rentals.

Large Home on a Nice Lot

We found the home to be spacious and well stocked. We used both the grill and the Blackstone grill. Owner did a nice touch point to make sure we were able to get in with no issues. We rented a pontoon boat and docked it at the homes dock. The lake is massive and deep. My kids caught a lot of catfish right off the dock. I would recommend this home.

The home was a short walk to the dock, view of the cove from the home is nice. We trailered our boat and able to leave the boat at the dock which was great.Unfortunately, when we arrived and walked in the home on the main floor, we noticed a very strong odor of must/mildew/mold and when we walked downstairs it was even stronger. We opened the sliding doors to see if this would air out but when we tried opening the sliders they were very heavy to slide, some of the locks were damaged and didn’t work but a piece of wood to leave at the bottom to lock up. The old sliding doors dragged on the ground needing to pull them over the screws in the track. The main bath shower and downstairs shower tiles were repaired with a contractors adhesive glue or something and difficult to walk on barefoot leaving sharp edges to stand on. Black mold/mildew in the main floor shower with a black/moldy area with hair from previous guests. The smell in the home never went away. The night before we were left we found one source of the mold/mildew coming from the ceiling HVAC vent (main floor BR) where it’s all black inside and around and the ceiling/sheetrock turned black The gas grill is significantly rusted and not in great condition, the igniter doesn’t work. The downstairs sheets had many stains on them. The main bathroom toilet seat was so loose it wouldn't stay, we fixed/tightened. The six of us were not happy but with family flying into town we tried to make the best of it.
