About this property

Waterfront Lighthouse with Large Dock for a Great Family Getaway

Don't miss out on the opportunity to stay at this unique and local treasure. The Lighthouse is a four bedroom / three and a half bath home sitting at the northern most point of the private and gated community of Kalita Point.

This two story home features two expansive porches with 120 feet of lakefront access, picturesque 180 degree views of Lake Livingston and also includes a private boathouse with powered lifts for a boat and two jet ski's and multiple access points into the lake. The Penwaugh marina is only a two minute drive from the home.

Inside:
Downstairs includes an open-concept kitchen, dining niche and family room as well as a bedroom and full bath, which includes a full size washer and dryer.
Upstairs includes the master bedroom with ensuite master bath and two other bedrooms which share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom as well as a loft/entertainment area.

Downstairs:
Family Room: Large sectional sofa with room for 8 with additional portable seating for additional guests. 65" Smart TV with basic cable and access to apps such as Hulu, Netflix and Amazon Prime

Kitchen: Modern kitchen with full suite of modern appliances and full stocked with dishes, pots, pans and utensils.

Dining: Dining table set up to seat 6, but expands on both ends to seat up to 10. Additional seating available for two at the bar.

Bedroom #4: Smallest bedroom in the house includes a full size bed.

Upstairs:
Master (Bedroom #1): King size bed with 40" Smart TV. Bedroom has large window with direct views of the lake. The spacious en suite bathroom includes a custom walk-in shower, full size tub and double vanity.

Bedroom #2: Queen size bed with 40" Smart TV. Similar to the master bedroom, this bedroom also includes a large window with beautiful views of the lake (and sunrise depending on the time of year). This bedroom attaches directly to the Jack & Jill bathroom.

Bedroom #3: Unique triple-decker bunk bed with queen (bottom), full (middle) and twin beds. This bedroom also includes a unique enclosed ceiling fan and also attaches directly to the Jack & Jill bathroom.

Bathroom: Jack and Jill bathroom with double access to sink and vanity. Additional door allows for private access to shower/toilet.

Loft: Pull-out sofa with 50" Smart TV with classic video game consoles.

Minibar: Fridge, sink and microwave enclosed by doors right off of the loft.

Outside:
The downstairs porch is completely covered and can be accessed from both sides of the yard as well as from the house via a sliding glass door. There is a centrally located staircase that leads directly to the back lawn and the water and a spiral staircase that leads to the upper deck. The main dining table can comfortably seat 6 with additional seating and ottomans available for additional guests. There is also a 6-burner propane grill available to all guests. This is the most likely the primary deck that will be used due the easy access to the house and yard and also includes access to a custom finished, climate controlled half-bath...the poop deck!

The upstairs deck offers some of the best views on the lake and is the ideal place to watch the sun rise and set or just sit and take in the beautiful lake views. Basic seating is offered upstairs. This deck can be accessed from below via a spiral staircase or from inside via a sliding glass door from the loft area.

The dock/boat house has plenty of room with both portable and bench seating for the entire party and includes electric boat and jet-ski lifts. Various life jackets are available upon requested. This is a great place to hang out, relax, swim, float or jump from the rope swing into the lake.

Lake Livingston Lighthouse
We really enjoyed our Labor Day Weekend at this beautiful home on the lake. It was so nice to be able to keep our boat on the lift! Communication with Trisha was awesome, any questions we had she was very quick to reply. Will definitely be back!

Weekend at the Lighthouse
We had an awesome stay at the lighthouse! The kids thought it was so cool! The house was wonderful, we were able to use the rope swing and boat lift. We are counting down the days until we return again!

Love the Lighthouse
For the past 4 summers we have started our end of school / beginning of summer at the lighthouse. Once again it was an amazing retreat form the city. Being able to use the boat lift for our boat is so helpful. I can’t imagine having to put it in and out of the water everyday. We put it in when we get there and don’t have to pull it out of the water until our last day. The kids enjoyed fishing, kayaking, jumping off the dock and playing catch in the grass. We had 2 families of 4 and there was plenty of room for all of us. My kids always look forward to staying at the lighthouse and the second we left they were already asking when we could go back.

About the host

Hosted by Trevor Thornton

Host profile image
Local Houstonian's who grew up spending summers on the Lake. We're excited to have the opportunity to own this house and share it with others who are passionate about the lake.

Why they chose this property

When we decided to purchase a vacation home, this home was not on our radar. We saw pictures online, but just thought that a "Lighthouse" was not for us. It wasn't until we saw it in person that we fell in love with this unique home. The previous owners puts so much into restoring this home and took advantage of the unique shape and it's incredible charm. This house quickly moved from a "No Way" to top of our list. We brought the rest of the family up the following weekend and they confirmed what we already knew...this was the place for us.

Since purchasing this home, we have really only made changes to make this house fit our larger, extended family (6 adults and 4 kids) while at the same time making it an optimal option for renters. We've added larger beds, a huge sectional sofa, an extendable dining table and a full size washer and dryer that we hope will make stays for our family and yours, much more comfortable and to make this an option year round.

What makes this property unique

Besides the obvious unique shape and style of this home, here are few additional details.
This house resides in a quiet gated community which is only a 2 minutes drive from the marina. There are countless restaurants (local and chain) within a 5-10 minute drive as well as Wal-Mart and HEB. It's only an hour or so drive from Houston, which makes it the ideal destination for a quick weekend getaway or an extended summer vacation on the lake.
