About this property

Captain’s Quarters is Paradise on Lake Texoma! Wonderful family neighborhood for the perfect getaway. Quiet hours after midnight. The Captain's Quarters offers a rustic retreat for sea faring folk and land lovers alike. You will not feel cramped in the two story great room graced with soaring ceilings, massive windows, and rich wooden surfaces fashioned from logs indigenous to North Texas by a true craftsman. Sprawling entertaining spaces flow out to the outdoor living area and in-counter gas grill adjoining a large, inviting swimming pool with lights and water features nicely landscaped with tropical plants and flowers.

Play a game of poolside billiards under the lanai while you watch the kids enjoying the log playhouse, trampoline, or wooden tree swing. The outdoor restroom is so convenient, too.

The master bedroom upstairs has its own private balcony to enjoy your morning coffee and the symphony of birds chirping, or a nightcap under a blanket of stars.

Disappointing stay

This was our 5th time to stay here & we usually love it. Not this time. There was a strong smell of propane on arrival. There were clean dishes in the dishwasher that we unloaded & dirty clothes in the washer that we washed to have enough clean towels for all of us. I called Chris & he came over & said that propane always had a smell. He said he had a CO2 detector by the stove & that there had never been an explosion there. Our SIL is a fireman & he turned off the propane to the stove & had to turn it back on any time we needed to cook. The CO2 detector had dead batteries, but we took them out of the remote so the detector would work. The remote to the sleep number bed was missing & the tube to manually inflate the bed was missing, so the mattress would not stay inflated. Chris offered to go get a mattress topper, but we said we would make do without one. The pilot light on the hot water heater went out, so we were without hot water until our SIL was able to light it again. The propane tank on the outdoor grill ran out of propane & there wasn't a refill at the house. Chris said to go get it from the house behind us that he owns.. Again our SIL to the rescue and we were able to cook steaks on the grill. The outside propane tank totally ran out of propane---no stove, no oven, no hot water again. Chris said we could use the stove and shower from the other house. Not sure what's going on, but we had lots of problems with the house this time.

Perfect for our group of 8! We had some issues with the pool so didn't use as we had hoped, but the owner was there trying his best to fix it.
