About this property

Charming Cottage in Desirable Star Harbor

Come Visit Cedar Creek Lake in Star Harbor! This exclusive neighborhood is highly sought after on the lake. The beautifully remodeled three-bedroom, two-bathroom home is the perfect place to enjoy all that the neighborhood and the lake have to offer. The home was recently remodeled and updated furnishings highlight the open concept kitchen and living area. The kitchen itself is fully stocked with all the basics you need to make a vacation meal and entertain your guests! And the home boasts family-friendly games to keep the entertainment going.

As charming as the house is, the highlight of this property is the outdoor area! You can access the beautiful outdoor deck from the second floor of the home and the patio is accessible from the first floor. The expansive upper deck is fenced off to keep both human and fur babies contained. The view of the open water from these relaxing perches are spectacular!

A unique feature of this home is the convenient outdoor kitchen with a gas grill to make outdoor entertaining and eating a breeze! After a delicious barbecue, head down to the fire pit for a great way to watch the sunset with an inviting fire. If you are looking for more active entertainment, take advantage of badminton and croquet that are available for our guests!

Star Harbor also has amenities that our guests can enjoy! The boat ramp for the community is just one house away and the private golf course is close by in the neighborhood.

Finally, take advantage of the private dock during your stay! You are more than welcome to tie up your boat during your stay. The property also offers fishing poles, kayaks, a paddle board, a lily pad and two hammocks for our guests to enjoy while spending your days on the dock! Why would you even go inside?! For that matter, you may never want to leave!

We cannot wait for you to come visit Shoreline!

Peaceful Getaway

We enjoyed our stay at this cottage. We thank you for sharing your water toys! My kids loved being able to swim and kayak and float around! The reason for 4 stars on cleanliness is because there was a lot of dog hair on the furniture and rugs. Also, the shower wall had a line of shampoo running down upon our arrival. Other than that, everything seemed well kept and clean. Great neighborhood too!
