The Boat House - Lake Livingston - Sleeps 12
WELCOME TO THE BOAT HOUSE AT CAPE ROYALE!
Lake days. Game nights. Hot tub evenings. Family memories. Welcome to The Boat House at Cape Royale, a modern lake house tucked inside the gated Cape Royale community on beautiful Lake Livingston.
Just a 5-minute walk from the lake, The Boat House is made for families and groups who want to spend the day on the water and come home to a house that's just as fun. Bring the boat or jet skis, head to the lake, fire up the grill, challenge everyone to a game of pool, and end the night relaxing under the stars.
With 4 bedrooms, 9 beds, 2 bathrooms and space for up to 12 guests, there's room for everyone to spread out, relax and make themselves at home.
Come for the lake. Stay for the memories.
THE SPACE A Lake House Built for Fun The Boat House isn't just a place to sleep—it's a place to hang out, reconnect and have fun together.
The main level features an open-concept living space with soaring windows, tons of natural light, comfortable seating, a fully equipped kitchen and plenty of room for everyone to gather.
The kitchen is stocked with the essentials (and then some!) so you can actually cook meals instead of eating out every night. You'll find a full-size refrigerator, dishwasher, oven, stove, separate ice maker, Instant Pot, Crock-Pot, electric griddle, George Foreman grill, plenty of cookware and all the dishes and serving pieces you'll need.
There's also shuffleboard right off the kitchen—because apparently dinner needs a little competition.
THE GAME ROOM When You're Done With the Lake, The Fun Isn't Over Head downstairs to the game room and let the competition begin. Pool table Dart board Bar area Private basketball goal Plenty of room to hang out
And for the kids? There's a dedicated upstairs bedroom/game space with gaming chairs, Xbox, board gmes and LED lighting, giving them their own place to disappear and entertain themselves while the adults enjoy a little peace and quiet.
OUTDOOR SPACE Your Own Little Slice of Texas Step outside and you'll find towering pine trees, a spacious wraparound deck and plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors. Start your morning with coffee on the deck. Fire up the grill for dinner. Gather around the smokeless fire pit in the evening. Or sit back and enjoy the stars. There's also a wood-burning fire pit, perfect for s'mores, stories and late-night family memories. And yes… There's a private hot tub. (Additional fee per night)
It's available year-round, so you can enjoy it after a summer day on the lake or on a cool evening surrounded by the Texas pines.

Bring your boat or jet skis and take advantage of the community's: Boat launch Fishing docks Marina Beach/lake access Volleyball Hiking trails Parks & picnic areas

Stayed for my husband's birthday and also had a family reunion at nearby Wolf Creek Park. Being so close was very convenient. Will definitely stay again if available. Host was very good at communicating expectations. Great experience.
The check- in was seamless. My buddies and I enjoyed the peace and quiet of the neighborhood. We enjoyed the pool table and music in the game room. We definitely plan to rebook this home in the near future!
