About this property

Spacious Waterfront Home -- 9 bedrooms, large patio. On Richland Chambers Lake

Welcome to Sunrise Cove RC, LLC ("Sunrise"), your Texas-sized private getaway. Imagine unwinding at a lakefront home with plenty of space for everyone to spread out, indoors and outdoors. Plus, it's conveniently located between Dallas and Houston. This gem is the perfect blend of relaxation, comfort, and convenience for families or friends seeking a memorable hideaway.
Located on the dam side of Richland-Chambers Reservoir, this retreat offers direct access to the water's edge, allowing guests to enjoy the lake outside their doorstep. Guests can relax by the rock firepit, play basketball on the private court, or enjoy a game of volleyball. Spectators can watch the games from the covered patio while enjoying a view of the lake.

The large great room features two giant windows with an extensive lake view. Guests can also unwind on the oversized partially covered patio with 250 feet of shoreline, play pool in the game room, read a book from the corner library, or enjoy a board game at the game table. Additionally, guests can watch television together in the great room or separately have private time in their bedroom. Fishing off the deck at the boathouse, watching sunrises, bird watching, and stargazing are among the charms offered at Sunrise.

This spacious waterfront home features 9 bedrooms, 7 are on one level, and 5 ½ bathrooms. It is situated in a cove on almost 5 acres of land.

Sunrise spans approximately 5,100 square feet, comprising a main house and two attached guest quarters. The 3,011 square foot main house includes a full kitchen, a large dining room table, and a second kitchen table. There are two full-sized refrigerators – one in the kitchen and one in the bar. The kitchen is equipped with a full-sized oven, and the bar features a portable oven. The great room boasts a large-screen television, a game table, and a bar complete with a separate ice maker. Additionally, there are three spacious bedrooms – two upstairs, and the master bedroom on the main level.

The master bedroom's bathroom has a shower, a separate bathtub, and his and hers sinks. The two upstairs bedrooms share a bathroom equipped with two sinks and a large shower with a bench. A half bath is situated downstairs close to the kitchen.

Moreover, there are two attached guest quarters. The 1,024 square foot Richland guest quarters comprise four bedrooms and two bathrooms – one with a shower and the other with a shower and tub combination. The 1,065 square foot Chambers guest quarters feature two bedrooms and one bathroom with a large sink and shower. The game room, located in the Chambers guest quarters, sports a pool table, card table, and a large-screen television.

The backyard patio is roughly 40 x 60 feet and is the perfect spot for kids to skate, hoverboard, or ride small toys. A propane barbecue and a smoker are embedded in a large curvy rock counter with plenty of space to put food. A large table on the patio is centered under several overhead fans.

Come and enjoy a weekend at the lake in this quiet neighborhood. Parties or special events are permitted with permission and additional consideration and will require written permission from management.

Perfect for large groups
Enough indoor space to gather for meals and talking but individual rooms to "get away" to for reading or relaxing. Great outdoor space, large patio for everyone to sit, plentry of yard for games, and of course fishing from dock or shore. Great property.

Family Reunion
Excellent accommodations for our family of 12 adults and 1 baby! Great room and dining area accommodated all of us comfortably. Everyone remarked on how comfortable the beds were. The outside patio area included enough seating for all and the large uncovered patio was perfect for the corn hole game that we brought with us. Property manager's response was immediate and effective to any texts that we sent with questions or needs. The nearby Harbor Restaurant was excellent in food quality and friendliness of the wait staff.

Family vacation
This is our annual Family Vacation. We had adults and children and grandparents which is us. Ages 15 to 5 for the children. I can't even express how perfect our experience has been and this is our second year in a row to enjoy this wonderful place. Perfectly maintained and set up. Perfect for a big family with children. Lots of areas to hang out and lots of space to roam. The grandchildren ate every meal outside on the back porch together and told the adults we could just stay inside. I hesitate to say much more nice because I don't want other people to take our time and we won't be able to book it for next summer. Connie is the perfect host and we love love being there.

Great for a large group
Sunrise Cove was perfect for an extended family trip to celebrate my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary. We had 17 people there, including 7 kids from mid elementary school up to college age. There was plenty for everyone to do and lots of space to spread out. The lake access was perfect! The cove is very quiet and the 5 acres gave us tons of privacy. We were able to tie our two boats to the dock at the property. We enjoyed swimming and fishing off the dock…caught several catfish and a turtle! Having the sidewalk and no stairs all the way from the patio to the dock was fantastic. The huge patio space was constantly in use and we used the outdoor kitchen every night. The house is well cared for and clean. It had everything we needed and communication with the host and property manager was excellent. A pretty severe storm blew in the first night we were there and the property manager sent us a text notification of the storm warning to ensure we were aware. We all agreed it was the perfect spot for our gathering and we would love to stay there again.

Family Reunion
We had a sibling reunion with some spouses. The property accommodations were perfect for the 12 of us. The views and the outside areas are beautiful. The weather was much better than we expected. The kitchen area is a little small but it was fine even with a lot of us in there. My family loved the place. Thank you Connie and Angela

Family Reunion
The property was very clean, and in fact, one building had been obviously repainted very recently. Wish they might have aired it out a bit more before our arrival, but opening windows accomplished the task within hours. The a/c was obviously not working, but the host quickly responded by arranging for service call the next day. Plenty of room. What might have made the VRBO reach that next level is some items such as yard games (corn hole, yard darts, etc.) and/or other forms of entertainment. The caution about being aware of snakes should have been in the flyer. The TV/WIFI seemed to work fine but was not used a lot. There was an EXCELLENT fishing guide within about a mile of the facility which provided an avenue for those interested in fishing. Finally, due to the hospitalization of one family member we tried to change the date (after the deadline as most emergencies are) and the host was unwilling to budge - so be sure you are wanting to stay or eat the cost if there is an emergency before signing up. It met our need of providing lodging for a family of 10 adult siblings with spouses. The one addition had 2 bedrooms with one bathroom and it would have been helpful to know that one had to go thru the 2nd bedroom to get to the bathroom. Ice machine and refrigerators were very nice and exceeded expectations.

Annual Thanksgiving Family Reunion
This property is outstanding in every respect. The layout was perfect for our extended family of 10 adults and six kiddos. The grounds are immaculately kept and spacious for outdoor activities of all kinds. Connie (the owner) and Angela (the property manager) were wonderful to communicate with - the perfect combination of responsive but not intrusive. We didn’t bring a boat but we might next time - there’s a ramp right on the property as well as a pier and dock, as the house is on a cove which leads into a 44,000 acre reservoir which the locals told us is brimming with white bass and catfish. (For the less adventurous, fishing right off the dock is another option.) The beds were comfortable, the technology worked great and the availability of 5-1/2 bathrooms was a real luxury for our clan. We can’t recommend this property highly enough.

Family Reunion
This was an incredible find! We had 4 generations represented for our reunion with parents, 4 sibs (2 spouses), 9 grandchildren, and 4 great grandchildren. There was plenty of space for all of us to be together and to be separate (when needed). The property was clean and wonderfully stocked with everything we needed to cook, play, visit, and simply be around each other. We enjoyed the lake which was around 100 yds from the back door. We also spent time eating and visiting outside on the shaded patio and playing pickle ball and basketball on the concrete slabs and badminton in the grass. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Connie was so kind and gracious and quick to respond to any questions we had. Check in and check out were incredibly simple. Everyone in the group commented on what a perfect spot this was, despite the August heat in Texas :)

Perfect for large families
Excellent place to accommodate large families. The home has many bedrooms/beds and room to spread out. Our group of 16 had a blast. Our teens especially loved jumping into the water, playing basketball, and the volleyball net. There is also plenty of yard for hide-and-go-seek and running around. Another plus is the neighbors are not super close, so didn't have to worry about being too loud. Connie and Angela took care of everything beforehand and were easily assessable. The place was perfect!

About the host

Hosted by Connie Tommerup

Host profile image
Our family uses Sunrise Cove as a place for everyone to meet. We purchased it because it is located between Dallas and Houston and has easy access for family and friends. We wanted a place that was private, so we could enjoy the solitude of watching a beautiful night sky, play music or cook outdoors.

Why they chose this property

Sunrise Cove is lined with trees on both sides of the property, and has the feeling of being secluded, yet it has convenient access to restaurants, golf course, museums, movie theaters and fishing or water sports. It is fun to watch the wildlife in the day, or gaze at the stars at night. Sunrise Cove has a very large patio that is approximately 65 X 40 feet and a basketball area beside the patio.

What makes this property unique

The most important benefit of Sunrise Cove is the ability to have room for groups such as a family reunion, work retreat, fishing weekend, girls weekends or it is just as easy to have a quite time away from the crowds.
