Our family was comfortable in this home near the marina. It is clean and well stocked with good working appliances and air conditioning. This is our second time here and we enjoyed it thoroughly.
Everything was wonderful! The property is beautiful with nice views and very cozy! Communication with the owner was prompt and friendly! 10/10 we would rent again!
Great location - sleepy little neighborhood on the lake. We are from dallas and met friends from Houston there - easy for us all to get to. The house was great for 2 families with bedrooms on 2 floors. Kitchen is well stocked with all the things we needed. It’s dog friendly with lots of outdoor activities. We made great memories with our families and will plan to come back !
The layout of the home was great for 6 adults and 3 children. There were plenty of spaces to hang out together or get away from the group. The back porch was great spot to relax. The home had everything and more to make our trip enjoyable and easy.
Our family stayed in this ideal home for the third time for Memorial Day Weekend. It is always a pleasure to be hosted by Frederik and Sylvia. The home is cozy, comfortable and clean. There is plenty of room to sit and visit with family and it is great to have a full kitchen for meals when needed. Thank you for another perfect stay!
We had a nice stay at your home. Plenty of room for the 9 adults we had staying. Beds we’re comfortable and the snacks were a very nice addition after a day at the lake! Thank you!!
What a great place! The house was beautiful and the location was amazing. It was spacious, bed were comfy and the decor was inviting. We couldn’t get over how well stocked the place was. It had EVERYTHING you need, and more. Definitely recommend!
Our family had a wonderful visit at this property over Thanksgiving. The house was spacious and well stocked. The owners Frederik and Sylvia were available and answered questions promptly. The wood stove was burning and ready for us when we arrived on a cold November day. We will definitely return here!!!
Travelled to Coldspring to spend part of Christmas with our grandson and his new born son. Had a wonderful time at this lovely home. Look forward to another time - perhaps in the summer.
Our stay at the lake house in this nice neighborhood exceeded expectations. The marina added a serene touch to the surroundings. We enjoyed expending family time at the large table on the deck. The well-stocked kitchen with spices and cooking essentials made meal preparation a breeze. I would highly recommend this place for a relaxing getaway.
My family raved about how cozy and comfortable they were in your home. They appreciated all the information about the community as well as your house. It provided the perfect locale for some family time and laughter! Thank you!
This home is so spacious. Comfortable beds. Great access to marina. All comforts of home. Enjoyed the outside porch. View of the lake is awesome. Can’t wait to come back

Great location with easy access to the water and Lone Star Hiking Trails (Sam Houston National Forest). House was very clean and had great amenities (umbrella, bug spray, welcome basket, toiletries, etc.). It was only us, but would have worked great for multiple families as well. The owners communicated well both before, during and after our stay.
Enjoyed our time, just would have liked to have been able to make the rain go away. We did have some time to enjoy the back deck though. The host had good communication. The kitchen was very well stocked. The large couch was nice. Comfortable seating for several people. We also had plenty of area for parking. Nice area fro get out and take a walk.

About the host
Hosted by Frederik and Sylvia Rijkens
Fred and Sylvia are living the American Dream, we have acquired our lake house in 2019 and have worked hard to make this home enjoyable and pretty and would like our guests to enjoy it as much as we do. In November 2020 we have remodeled the kitchen.
Why they chose this property
We love Lake Livingston and particularly Cape Royale with it beautiful forests full of deer and birds, friendly people, community spirit, wonderful neighbors and amenities. When we travel we want good beds, so we made sure the beds in our lakehouse are good. Bring your boat and fishing gear. Chill-out in the water at Pine Island. Enjoy the sunrise and filtered lake view from the Master bedroom
What makes this property unique
Steps from Marina, filtered lakeview, comfortable and cosy house under the trees, near the lively Marina, kid friendly, they will enjoy the outdoors life around our house.
