About this property

Unobstructed open water lake house for fun, family & friends

This waterfront lake house was built for family and friends to enjoy time together on the Lake. The views are breathtaking from most rooms in the house and the two person swing by the boathouse ensures water fun all year long. The disco ball and twinkling lights by the boat house adds some fun to the nights as well! We have even added a fire pit and some outdoor Adirondack chairs so you can enjoy the sunsets even more.
Conroe is just the right blend of starry nights and city lights. And similarly, this house can provide a family-friendly, fun and activity-filled vacation or a romantic and relaxing getaway. Our guests have access to all the April Sound Country Club amenities for an additional fee--please note this is a change in their policy and we had no control over that. PLEASE NOTE THAT RENTERS ARE NO LONGER ALLOWED TO LAUNCH THEIR BOATS FROM THE APRIL SOUND MARINA. There are several marinas in the area (they are listed here--read all the information). We do have a bulkhead with industrial sized cleats you can tie up to.
The interior was freshly painted in 2020 with lots of gorgeous new light fixtures and we just added an amazing humongous refrigerator/freezer in the kitchen (additional freezer and fridge in the garage).
The downstairs has a two story-high ceiling living room that has a new buttery soft comfortable reclining couch, loveseat and chair. The Kitchen includes a dining area that seats 8 and a breakfast bar that seats 2--they all look out onto the unobstructed Lake views. The house has distressed dark grey hardwood throughout the house except for kitchen, utility room and bathrooms which have wood-like tile. Every room has floor to ceiling, wall to wall windows with views galore.
The kitchen has been fully remodeled and is equipped and functional with stainless steel appliances, utensils, silverware, pots and pans and all the place settings that you could need. Service for 12 is provided. A limited amount of paper supplies (paper towels, napkins and toilet paper) are provided. You will fall in love with the farmhouse sink and the industrial semi-pro faucet. Countertop ice maker, waffle maker, electric griddles...every gadget and small appliance you can imagine!
All bathrooms and the kitchen have granite countertops and new fixtures.
The patio has a cozy two-person swing at the boathouse and a picnic table so no matter what mood you're in, you can sit outside and breathe in the water view. An outdoor kitchen with gas grill and granite counter top allow families to enjoy the lake while cooking. We provide all BBQ utensils that you could need. Two adirondack chairs and small patio table are strategically placed on outdoor patio to catch the spectacular Lake Conroe sunsets. We also have counter height outdoor seating with 4 chairs and a table to enjoy the lake views. We also provide a picnic table with 2 benches for additional seating options. Two outdoor lounge chairs with sunbrella also provided. We also have 4 Adirondack chairs that surround a fire pit perfect for S'mores on the lake--make sure to bring wood if you're planning to use the fire pit!
The water is about 4-6 feet deep beside the bulkhead depending on the water level of the lake. They lower the water level during Hurricane Season as a precaution. You can use the wooden staircase that leads into the water by the boat house and swim if you desire at your own risk and we HIGHLY ENCOURAGE ALL swimmers to use certified flotation devices.
At night, you can turn on the disco ball at the boat house and enjoy dancing to the moonlight by the lake.
The Master Bedroom is on the first level. It includes a King Size Tempurpedic mattress with luxury linens and anti-allergenic mattress covers and pillows. It includes his and hers walk-in closets and full bathroom with gorgeous new claw foot tub and step in shower with rain shower head--we provide thick bath towels and beach towels. A Smart TV is in the Master--NO CABLE, just streaming available. The room has a floor to ceiling wall of windows to enjoy the lake views as well as french doors that lead out to the balcony. But don't worry about the light--custom black out shades cover the entire wall of windows.
Downstairs also has a guest bedroom with a Queen tempurpedic mattress, luxury linens and anti allergenic covers for mattress and pillows--the glass doors have black out window treatment for privacy and to ensure a good night's sleep. A brand new full bathroom on the first floor with step in shower and granite counter top on the vanity adds convenience for guests.
Upstairs there are two bedrooms that both have black out custom window treatments. One bedroom has a Queen size tempurpedic mattress and a beautiful private balcony lets you enjoy the wonderful lake views. The other bedroom has a bunk bed with Twin on top and Full on the bottom as well as a separate twin bed. All mattresses are foam Tempurpedic and have luxury linens and anti allergenic mattress and pillow covers. This secondary bedroom also has a large private balcony to enjoy the expansive and unobstructed lake views. Each of the upstairs balconies have two counter height chairs to enjoy the views. Both bedrooms share a full bathroom with newly remodeled step in shower with rain shower head with granite counters on a double sink vanity, new lighting and paint.
An upstairs playroom has a fold out Queen size couch as well as board games, SmartTV (NO CABLE, just streaming), PlayStation 3 with games as well as a WiiU with games.
Downstairs we have a Billiard Room with 7 foot pool table, dart board and all sorts of sporting equipment like tennis racquets and balls, badminton rackets, soccer ball, floats for the lake, tube & rope and basic "play" fishing gear--if you are a serious fisherman, bring your own gear. We also include a Bose docking station with the ability to hook up both older version of iPods and newer phones as well.
A large utility room with full size washer and dryer as well as a limited amount of laundry pods and dryer sheets are provided.
The Lake House has plenty of parking and a gate with 24 hour security guards at the entrance to ensure safety and privacy.

We’ve always taken pride in our clean and fresh homes, and we know this is more important than ever. In an abundance of caution, on top of our already rigorous cleaning procedures, our housekeepers have been given an even more robust disinfecting checklist, noting increased attention to heavily trafficked areas and frequently touched surfaces.

If you are looking for activities for the little ones, tennis and golf lessons are available and during peak/holiday weeks many creative and fun activities.
IF you plan on using the Country Club, you need to notify owner of which days and number of people that will need passes so that there are no misunderstandings and guest passes are issued correctly and additional fees paid in advance.
Within a few miles of the condo is the Waterpoint Marina and Naughty-Dayz where you can rent a boat for a few hours or the week and dock it right in front of the condo. Wonderful restaurants that overlook the lake are all around the Condo--most popular are Ransoms Steakhouse for a nice dinner, Crust, Conroe Lake House, Monty's Lighthouse, the Magnolia Diner, The Toasted Yolk or the Montgomery Steakhouse for a wonderful breakfast or lunch. A local favorite is The Cozy Grape which is a wine bar. Must see at Lake Conroe are Papa's on the Lake, The Back Porch and Wolfie's Sports Bar all of which have amazing Lake Views.
For those that are not familiar with the area, it is 20 miles from Houston, Texas. Nestled in the lush Piney Woods of East Texas, Conroe embraces you with genuine Texas friendly hospitality.

Wow!
This was by far the best house I have rented. Very spacious, amazing views, right on the water, fished a few feet from the house (and actually caught several) This house has everything you could possibly need. Will definitely be back.

Cannot wait to go back.
We had such a great time here. We have been blessed to enjoy many waterfront properties, and this one ranks right up there amongst the best. Lightning fast communication with the manager made our stay great. It's in a very private and high-end gated community. The boat slip out front was quickly put to use with the conveniently located boat rental place two houses down. It's back and around the corner so you don't see it or hear it but it's very close when it's time to get a boat. The property was spotless upon arrival and getting access was super easy due to the conveniently located lockbox. I wouldn't change a thing about this visit. Fantastic people fantastic property and honestly a fantastic price. We're already planning a return for Christmas.

About the host

Hosted by Maelia Davis

Host profile image
We are a family with 5 kids ranging in age from 30 to 18 so this house was put together with all of them (and their friends) in mind. We like to pick up and go to the Lake House so it is equipped with everything that we need. We love Lake Conroe and all the wonderful and fun restaurants and bars that welcome boats.

Why they chose this property

We always dreamt of owning a Lake House right on the water with open water views. We wanted a house that was always going to have water in front of it no matter if there is a drought and we wanted it to have a boat house to keep all our toys ready for fun. We also wanted a house that could comfortably sleep all our kids, extended family and friends.
Every "off-season" we update the home and add more and more unique features. Recently we added a full downstairs bathroom and a gorgeous huge claw foot tub in the Master Suite to add some romance to the lake. We also just added a black metal roof, new exterior paint and a. huge family sized fridge & freezer. Our outdoor shower is always fun on an hot day and we recently added remote controlled ceiling fans in the back patio add much. needed relief on hot Texas days and nights. We also now have a fire pit and additional outdoor chairs for the cool Fall and Winter evenings. If you can think of something to add, we always welcome ideas!!!

What makes this property unique

Very few homes have the kind of open water view this house has but at the mouth of a cove that protects the kids while in the water from boaters whizzing by. The sunsets are beautiful and the fresh breeze while sitting on the boat house swing or the adirondack chairs on the back patio are incomparable. The location of the house is also special because you can swim right in front of the house without having to worry about boats and jet skis driving by full speed. We are in a no wake zone.
