The space
Relax in the spacious, brightly lit great room, prepare meals in the fully stocked gourmet kitchen, and dine with family and friends in the dining area with seating for 14 inside and 6 outside on the deck. Grill your favorite foods on our Weber grill (which features a built-in propane line so no tank is required), then head down to the lower level for more space to relax and entertain, including a pool table, a bar area with an icemaker and beverage fridge, a smart TV with a PlayStation 4, and a closet full of puzzles, books, and games.
Next, head to the screen porch just off the kitchen to get away from the action and savor a cup of coffee or a good book while you enjoy the summer breeze. Then enjoy a relaxing soak in the hot tub with spectacular views of the lake.
Looking for more to do? Head to the garage game room where you will find ping pong, foosball, basketball pop-a-shot, arcade games, cornhole, plus a second full size refrigerator and freezer for extra storage and convenient access to food, drinks, and snacks.
Of course, the main attraction is beautiful Lake Gaston only a few steps away from the house. We have lake toys galore including 4 kayaks, 2 stand-up paddle boards, a floating swim mat, and other various inflatables. We have a variety of life jackets in child, youth, and adult sizes, as well as a vacant boat slip, a PWC lift, and cleats on the dock that guests are welcome to use. If you would like to rent our pontoon during your stay, please let us know!
Head up to the upper level of the dock to soak up some rays on the sun deck, complete with lounge chairs, tables, plenty of seating. If shade is more your style, our lot is oriented so that there is both shade and sun even in the middle of the day! Enjoy swimming in the deep water (8-10 feet off the end of the dock), or use our jump gates to take the plunge off the top deck (if you’re brave enough!). Try your luck fishing, or take a kayak or paddle board to explore Hawtree Creek just a short distance down the shore. For guests bringing a boat, a public boat ramp is located just 3 minutes from our home.
After a long day on the lake, enjoy smores at our firepit and watch the spectacular sunsets from the sundeck. As the evening light fades, relish the magic of summer at the lake as the fireflies make their appearance. Another perfect day at Firefly Bay!

Imagine a getaway or vacation at this beautiful lakeside home on the clear, beautiful waters in the highly desired NE Quad of Lake Gaston. Just minutes from shopping, restaurants, and other amenities! Or by water, enjoy the short 15 min trip over to the Eaton Ferry bridge area with several fun places to visit, including restaurants or marinas. Stop in and grab a bite or enjoy a beverage.
The views from the home are spectacular and hence the name: Awesome Sunsets .The home boasts 5 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, which include: 1 king, 3 queens, and a bunkroom. On the main level, the updated kitchen, sunroom with office area, dining area, and family room give you ample areas to get together or to stretch out. As you wander outside, the home features a full home length new deck with lighting for your family enjoyment. There is also a grill area and covered seating area to enjoy the breeze but get out of the sun. As you migrate downstairs, you find a second kitchen area, a family room, and a new game room with a pool table and classic full-size arcade game. I sense a late night Ms. Pacman tournament in your future!
Whether you’re walking the steps from the deck, or leaving from the walkout lower level, the path to the lake and boathouse features night lighting and multiple sitting areas/ swings as well as two separate fire pit areas to make s’mores and memories.
This property boasts a private oversized boathouse that includes a wet bar area with a refrigerator and TV, a large sundeck, multiple covered sitting areas, and a packed storage area full of water inflatables, life jackets, paddles, fishing equipment and much more- all that the owner leaves available for use. Not to mention the kayaks and paddle board just sitting here waiting to get wet. Just remind us so we make sure they are empty for you. If you’re bringing a pontoon boat or additional items, the boathouse has integrated cleats and a nice area to the side to easily tie off your items. Don’t worry about water depth either as the shoreline drops pretty quickly to 6+ feet at the deep edge of the boathouse! A great area for tons of family water fun.
This house is always one of the most popular on Lake Gaston.
