Nice get away

We had a great time on the 4th of July . Nice house and it had everything we needed. Just a suggestion, make sure the lawn is mowed and looks as nice as home when renting out. The dock was awesome!

About the host

Hosted by Douglas Properties

Host profile image
We are a family in DFW who wanted to spend more time in nature, especially close to the water. We were looking for a waterfront house and discovered the blue house on this lake that we hadn't even heard of. While renovating it and falling in love with the area, the yellow house (which wasn't yellow yet) came up for sale so we decided to go all in and share these homes as vacation rentals. Especially since the pandemic, we realize how important it is to have special spaces to go to and we think this house is exactly that!

Why they chose this property

When we discovered Lake Tawakoni, we saw that some sides of it were built up with mini-towns on the lake. Our houses are in such a special location because they're so private and our guests get an enormous beach to themselves! We added a dock which has been a game-changer as it allows guests to sit directly over the water and watch amazing sunsets every evening. It's also highly appreciated by our guests with boats or those who like to fish off the dock.

What makes this property unique

Location! Location! Location! You can't get better than being on a beautiful beach.

Design! We think that the master bedroom and bath is a masterpiece. It's romantic, comfortable and decadent. The private balcony off of the master gives a bird's eye view of the lake and is the most relaxing and romantic space. The gorgeous tub is surrounded by windows with lake views while being extremely private. The double shower is out of this world. And we think the rest of the house is pretty beautiful too.
