Fantastic property

Our group stayed at this property for a small company retreat. The photos were very accurate, the property was well maintained, and the kitchen had everything we needed for food preparation and serving. The gathering areas worked perfectly for our needs, including comfortable furniture, and the views were beautiful. Would absolutely stay here again.

Lake stay long weekend

Spacious property for a large group. We’ll stocked kitchens and warm and welcoming living spaces and bedrooms. Dock and kayaks and paddle boards were a blast. Better connectivity to the outside from the main living space, such as an exterior stair way off of the patio would have been really nice.

Amazing Dock

The stay at Port Royale was excellent. Everything from check in, to cleanliness, to the house set up was just as listed and perfect for our stay of 22 people. The dock really takes the cake. With 12 kids staying at the place, they had plenty of lake time right there at the dock. They loved jumping off the diving board, swinging on the rope swing. And fishing right there. Our host was very responsive and easy to communicate and connect with. Lake Norman is beautiful and the house was wonderful.

A Birthday Celebration

I selected this property for a very special birthday celebration and it was everything I could have hoped for and more. The amenities of the house provided everyone fun filled activities that appealed to all ages and a spectacular view for those not as sporty or competitive. We loved our evenings around the fire pit. Kayla our Evoke concierge, addressed any hiccups we encountered quickly and efficiently. I would highly recommend this property and hope that you have Kayla to ensure that your visit is wonderful.

Exceeded Expectations

We had a large family reunion and Port Royale accommodated all of us perfectly. The layout of the bedrooms and the living areas allowed young and old to have a good time and be able to retreat to their room when desired. The kitchens were perfect, we fully utilized both and the outside grill. Everyone enjoyed the game room and theatre. The favorite amenity was the Dock, the swim area, diving board and rope swing were used extensively. Evoke Properties provided a designated contact that was fabulous, Kayla was responsive, helpful and really made our reunion spectacular.

Wonderful week at Lake Norman

The property is outstanding. Very high quality in all respects with a beautiful panoramic view of Lake Norman. We had a group of 22 and there was plenty of room. The house is beautifully appointed and supplied with everything renters would need. We all spent a great deal of time at the fantastic dock area swimming, diving off the diving board, and making use of the paddleboards and kayaks. Fishing poles and associated equipment were also provided(!) that the kids used to haul in several big catfish and dozens of sunfish. The movie theater and game room were also huge favorites with everyone. The AC unit for the main level malfunctioned and the issue was attentively dealt with the same day.

Would Go Again for Sure

Excellent location. Awesome house for large party. Best dock on the lake, I imagine. Game room area is fun and there are lots of options for people to pick from. Theater room looked incredible and TV worked well, but no one in our party could get surround sound to work. TV speakers were adequate though. Overall, one of our favorite houses after several years of family vacations at various lakes and beaches. Very nice! Only complaint would be the way the property was managed. The lady handling for the owner was nice, but did not seem to be in sync with VRBO at all. To the point that I was double billed several thousand dollars. I paid through VRBO and then a few weeks later received a bill for an even larger amount from the property management. Because the amounts were different, and you pay for these things on a preset installment schedule, had I not been paying attention, I would have paid a lot of money twice. Not cool. I think the owner needs to go through VRBO, or through property management. One or the other. Both, in a world full of scammers, is confusing and off putting for your customers. Everyone making purchases in, and giving their information in, cyberworld has to be playing defense. Having multiple sources coming at you for personal information and money is not helping anyone.

Great home, accommodated three generations of family members for reunion. On suites are best feature so accessibility is good on main floor. Lots of fun things to do. Plenty of dining seating for 20 plus people. Only concern was outside grill only one burner (left) of three working properly and needs work, needs good cleaning.
