Easy, Great Getaway Home

This home was great for a family getaway. The kids loved the bunk room, the kitchen was a great size and plenty of couch space. The deck was great for relaxing. Everyone jumped off the dock for swimming. There was a wood pile ready for a fire, that was nice. Easy in and out of the place and the communication with the property owners was very responsive and kind. All in all, we had a great vacation here.

Great Location!

We have been to Cedar Creek several times and love the Star Harbor community. The house was perfect for us and our local family to hang out, play games, and fish. This time the lake was low, but this property has a dock that I was still able to get my boat in and out of. The owners were great and communicative. We would stay here again.

Great Location

The community is nice and quiet. The location to the boat ramp was within close proximity, just a short boat drive around to the house. The lake is large and very clean. There was not a lot of traffic out on the water. The home is close to the grocery store and a few fast food and other restaurants. The house had a great air conditioner. The beds were amazingly comfortable but the 1 bunk bed felt more like a box spring and not a mattress. The house was clean and spacious. The vent a hood was dirty with dead bugs hanging over a gorgeous 6 burner stove. The stove/oven is amazing! The foosball table a shuffle board was a hit for all of us! The kitchen was equipped but there could be better skillets for cooking. The yard needs some upkeep as it was overgrown but overall was nice and spacious. It’s a nice place to stay! The few recommendations would not sway me from recommending this place

Our Starlight Point Story

We are Colorado natives who have called Texas home for the last half of our lives. Starlight Point was born from our love of both states—combining the serene, majestic nature of the mountains with the fun-filled, relaxed vibe of Texas lake life.

When you step inside, you will immediately get that "tree house" feeling. Our home is elevated high over the backyard, featuring panoramic windows that wrap around the living space. Whether you are drinking morning coffee or watching the sunset, you will be fully immersed in the spectacular water views and nature right outside.

We’ve created countless unforgettable memories here with our loved ones, and by sharing our home, we hope your family can build a few of your own!

Why they chose this property

BEST OF BOTH WORLDS AT CEDAR CREEK LAKE
Nestled in the quiet community of Star Harbor at the southern end of Cedar Creek Lake, Starlight Point offers a rare waterfront sanctuary that’s also a quick drive for all your getaway needs.
-----The Safe Cove Vibe-----
Located at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac, you will experience almost zero street traffic. Because our home sits inside a protected, wake-free cove, the water is always calm, gentle, and safe for swimming. You can float peacefully, entirely unaffected by speedy watercraft or choppy open waters just outside the bay.

-----Small-Town Charm, 10 Minutes Away-----
While you will feel completely secluded, you are never isolated. A quick 10-minute drive connects you to excellent local conveniences:
• Daily Essentials: Quick access to grocery stores, gas stations, hardware shops, and dollar stores.
• Local Shopping & Dining: Local restaurants, and standard fast-food brands, plus charming boutiques for clothes, books and antiques.
• The Local Must-Try: You cannot miss Donut Palace—famous around here for their always-fresh, uniquely squishy, and completely delicious breakfast treats!
Larger big-box stores, vibrant lakeside dining spots, and public boat ramps are also just a short drive away.

What makes this property unique

Double the Lot, Double the Fun:
Spread out across a rare, sprawling double lot with over half an acre of open green grass. It is the ultimate private playground with unlimited space for yard games, kids running free, and outdoor family fun.

275 Feet of Premium Waterfront:
Enjoy massive lake access featuring two distinct deck spaces. You will have a dual-slip boat dock to securely park your watercraft, plus a double-decker party dock built specifically for fishing, sunbathing, and late-night stargazing.

The Ultimate "Together" Layout:
The open-concept great room connects the kitchen, living room, and game room into one cohesive space. Family members can cook, watch the game, or play without ever feeling separated.

Three Dedicated Lounge Zones:
In the main shared space, there are two separate couch areas where your group can split up comfortably—one side can stream movies on the TV while the other cheers on the game tables. In the bunk room, there's a TV, toys and games where youngsters can play...away from main group.

Built-In Rainy Day Entertainment:
Beat the weather with premium indoor entertainment for all ages. Challenge each other to foosball and shuffleboard, or gather around the dedicated round table for high-stakes poker, board games, and puzzles.
