Ballantyne Retreat
Carmen’s place was centrally located, spotless and she helped accommodate some requests which made our stay easy. Thank you. Highly recommended.

Fox Farms Little House
My stay at Lauren's farm was just what I needed...a peaceful place to get away to as I prepare for a job change. The farm is beautiful. The trails throughout the property were great for an afternoon run. And the close proximity to downtown Waxhaw allowed for great dining options. I'll definitely be back!

Dilworth, Walk To Atrium/Freedom Park, Park View!
This place is a real gem. This beauty is located in a quaint neighborhood in charlotte. Beautifully decorated, stained glass ceiling blew my mind and clean house. Highly recommend.

POOL, ROOFTOP, SKYLINE VIEW in Downtown Charlotte
Outstanding location and quality apartment. Josh was so helpful both before arrival and during stay.

Keswick Retreat; a quiet & zen modern flat
An amazing space! An amazing human being! Very attentive, friendly and helpful. Space beautiful designed! Would definitely stay again!

3-BDR Direct Waterfront Cottage
We really enjoyed our stay. Was a very welcoming home. Great atmosphere! All the beds were very comfortable. Bathrooms were clean. I will say for 5 people there wasn’t enough towels for everyone. All furnishings are really nice. Comfy couch and enough seats for all of us to relax together and watch tv. The fire pit was wonderful at night with a great view. Was in a wonderful location to downtown Charlotte. Went to the Bank of America Stadium and was like 15 minutes away. There are kayaks but we didn’t use them. We were hoping to fish from the dock or the bank. We had brought all of our fishing stuff to fish. So, I will say if you do want to fish you would need to use them. The dock isn’t there. It’s across the water channel on a sand bar island hence you need to use the kayaks to fish open water. Overall, I highly recommend staying here. If we come back to this area. I would definitely stay here again.

Spacious & Modern Condo in Uptown
The location was perfect!! We booked this weekend so we’d be walking distance to the Bank of America Stadium for the Metallica concert! Not only did we feel right at home, but we felt safe and the location was fantastic! We visited the Uptown Farmer’s Market Saturday morning, also conveniently walkable. The apartment was exceptionally clean, furnished with all necessities and we would definitely stay here again! Perk, bed was super comfy!!

Private Oasis Uptown | Pool, Hot Tub, Pet Friendly
Great place in amazing location - thank you Kristi and team!

Modern, Remodeled & Cozy house Silva
Great house and stay! We loved the main floor bedroom for my senior family members. The entire house was really well stocked in terms of kitchen, bathrooms and games. The back yard was private and sooo peaceful. it was great spending time out there. Convenient to downtown and food. A grocery store and fitness gym are all very close. Paula was a great host. She was very responsive and helpful when we had questions. The neighborhood was okay. There were lots of cars in driveways and on the street. There were some late night/early a.m. noise disturbances like music and people in nearby homes. If you are sensitive to light, bring a sleep mask. It does the trick! We enjoyed our stay and highly recommend!

Private Beautiful Getaway on the Greenway!
A great stay. House was updated and nicely furnished. Weather didn't allow us to take advantage of the covered backyard area and firepit, but it was a great space. Quiet neighborhood, but close enough to primary roads.

The most cozy house is here! Book now!
Clean cozy place that has everything travelers need- coffee, tea, pots, fry pans, fridge… the best sleeping king bed with nice clean sheets, plenty of room for big families. Ricardo and Karla were so sweet to let my family with kids to check in later than 10 pm. We were so tired and happy to have a shower and just rest until morning. When host sets list of rules- it means they value their cleanliness as much as guests should. And it’s a great sign! You should look no further ! Pricing is totally fair without cleaning fees! 🙏🏻 I highly recommend this place in Charlotte! Right in the heart of the city, close to everything and very easy to find!!! Thank you!

Trendy Condo in the Heart of Plaza Midwood
Kristen was incredibly helpful and responsive, her place was in a perfect location to surrounding restaurants and breweries. We really enjoyed being able to walk around the area!

One bedroom condo near Ballantyne, South Charlotte
We were in Charlotte for the PGA Championship and found a perfect stay at Edward’s condo. It was convenient to South Park, Quail Hallow and many delicious restaurants. The unit was wonderful with many amenities to make the stay feel like home. With a full kitchen and appliances, we were able to enjoy home cooked meals and the washer and dryer allowed us to do laundry during our week long stay. Edward was a great host and we will stay there again if we are in the Charlotte area.

Hey Ya'll ~ Free Parking | Pets Welcome
We are regular visitors to Tree Top Loft and love it every time! Latest stay was for one month and it was wonderful. Kristin takes such care with the property: beautifully decorated, well stocked, so clean. And the unit is very quiet. Can’t wait for our next visit! Thank you Kristin!

Eclectic in the Very Heart of NoDa-hop on Lynx
Great place for seeing a show at the Evening Muse with my wife, only about a block away. Right in the heart of NoDa. Several great places to dine and late night activities just a block or two away. Overall Katie's space was very clean, the bed was comfy and the unit was so industrial, maybe a bit? No complaints there! We loved it and only wish we could have stayed longer. Would definitely stay here again.

Uptown Lights &Stylish Nights |Free Parking |Clean
Great stay. Host was super responsive. Only a twenty minute walk from Bank of America Stadium. The place had everything a person or couple would need for a great weekend in Charlotte.

Eclectic South End Condo
Great location. Easy walkability to restaurants, coffee shops, shopping,etc. Krielow shares recommendations of places to go. Lovely porch for relaxing. Very clean and spacious. Will stay there again.

Chic and Relaxing 1BR in the Heart of Myers Park!
Beautiful place and great location. My only comment would be they should upgrade the coffee maker to something with single serve cup instead of a drip with a full pot. Walls are thin but understandable. I could hear every move the guests above made. Overall a good experience

Your guide to Charlotte
Welcome to Charlotte
Cosmopolitan Charlotte is North Carolina’s largest city, with towering Uptown skyscrapers, unique museums, and a plethora of lively neighborhoods steeped in history. The municipality rose to prominence in the early 19th century during Carolina’s gold rush, and later prospered thanks to thriving cotton, textile, and banking industries. If you hear someone call it the Queen City, that’s because Charlotte is named after the wife of King George III.
The weather is suitable for adventuring in nature year-round, and the number of indoor and outdoor attractions is staggering; in the morning you can hike the trails in Little Sugar Creek Greenway or spike your adrenaline at the U.S. National Whitewater Center — the world’s largest manmade whitewater river. Later on you can marvel at the NASCAR Hall of Fame or wander the Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden. Finally, you can finish the day strong by sampling craft beers or catching a show at the Blumenthal Performing Arts Center. These are only a few of the many reasons this place regularly makes lists of the best U.S. cities to live in.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Charlotte
The optimal time to visit Charlotte is in the fall or the spring, when the weather is most temperate, crowds aren’t too bad, and parks and gardens tend to look their best. Summer sees a sharp increase in visitors, but it’s also a fantastic time to experience the U.S. National Whitewater Center and then swap adventure tales over al fresco craft brews in one of the city’s numerous beer gardens. Winter does bring colder climes, but the city’s used to it, and businesses remain open throughout the year. Events you may want to plan a visit around include the Taste of Charlotte food festival in early June and Charlotte Pride in mid-August. Motorsports season at the Charlotte Motor Speedway runs from April to November.
