it's older clear lake which is exactly why we stayed there. perfect location for us. the vrbo site was confusing and stressful. we paid online through the site but afterwards nothing happened as explained on the site. we were stressed by that. we asked for info of check in and it took some days for a response. after paying online in good faith we expected for things to happen on the site as explained on the site, but they did not. the house was clean but it needed a deep cleaning. bedroom windows were dirty inside and out. spider webs in windows and baths. main deck and chairs full of debris. we never received a check out list until we asked the night before checkout. we got a quick response on this, which we appreciated.

This home is 1.5 miles from City Beach and downtown shopping/restaurants! We are so glad we stayed on the lake! This property had a two level deck with its own dock where we could swim as it was only waste deep! It was nice having 2 bathrooms as we had 6 adults staying! The property was quiet and very cute! Laura was very easy to work with and she answered our questions in a timely manner! We didn’t find anything wrong with the property when we arrived! It was advertised accurately! We will definitely stay there again!

We enjoyed the house very much. We took advantage of the dock for boating and using the jet ski. Host was very responsive no matter how small the question. Beautiful view of the lake. We didn’t need anything that wasn’t available in the house for us to use. Clear Lake in general was welcoming and friendly. Would love to come back again.

Generally as described. Great viewing of the lake. Decks are nice for relaxing at the end of the day or watching the sunrise. Worked fine for us. Bathrooms on the small side and very short toilet heights could present problems for older guests. Large living areas with lots of windows are a bonus.

We couldn’t have asked for a more accommodating host for our stay at Clear Lake! So friendly, very responsive, accommodating to all our needs during a very eventful family filled weekend. Our host even greeted us with some snacks and drinks! Our stay couldn’t have been more perfect on a weekend full of family time. We’ll definitely be back, thank you so much for having us!

We came for a quick family getaway, and it was perfect! The house is extremely clean, super convenient location, and outstanding hospitality from the host. We started every morning with our coffee on the deck overlooking the amazing view of the lake. We took in a show at The Surf, which was walkable, and AMAZING. Relaxed on a pontoon for a day, which was super easy to rent from Clear Lake Boat rentals. The town has tons of great eating spots and fun bars to visit for the day. We will be back again!

There are so many things that made this property not worth what they ask for it. -You are given one key, so if somebody leaves and takes the key the others at the house need to either stay until they return or leave the house unlocked with your belongings there. -The upstairs room has no privacy due to there not being a door -The doors to the bedroom on the main floor do not close completely -There were spiderwebs in most of the rooms and lots of little spiders in the upstairs room -No blinds or curtains on the windows facing the water -There was dried food stuck to some of the cooking utensils -One of the stove burners had a pile of burned food under it -The vacuum canister was completely full and needed to be emptied before being able to use it -Windows were too difficult to open for fresh air -Too difficult to get a boat to the dock due to a large floating platform in the way the belongs to the neighbors on the left -Visible rodent trap on the side of the house -Had to empty the dehumidifiers almost daily (after figuring out what they were since we have never had to use one before) -Not offering a refund for cancelations should have been a red flag. Maybe we are just nit-picking but for the price paid we believe we have every right to do so.

We had a lovely time using this as our home base as we spent time with family in the area. The location is perfect for downtown Clear Lake excursions. We enjoyed fishing off the dock, golfing nearby, boating with friends, eating out and playing games at the spacious dining room table.

Last year, my parents sold their lake house and this was the first time back for all of us since the sale. The house was roomy with exceptional lake views - we celebrated a 23rd and 87th birthday, and a 63 year anniversary - everything worked out well. Thank you

This was our first vacation in which we rented a house, and our experience was very good. We so enjoyed being on the lake with access to the water through a private dock. The house itself was very roomy with plenty of space for us and our 2 adult kids and 1 teenager. The kitchen was amazing and allowed us to prepare our meals easily. The landlords were so very kind and provided a good deal of advice for local attractions and went so far as to let us borrow some water toys. We especially enjoyed the privacy of the balcony and spent every morning drinking coffee and watching the activity on the lake. It truly was a week to recharge our batteries. We can't recommend this rental highly enough, as the owners (Laura and Lynn) made every effort to make our vacation special.

The place was very enjoyable with a great view of the lake and fantastic sunsets. The only thing I didn’t care for were the scary steps down to the lake. Other than that we enjoyed our stay but I felt the home was too high priced but maybe that’s what rentals go for in that area.

This lake home is lovely. The home is located right on the water and close to the city center. The home has everything you need. The stairs to the lake are tricky.

Very homey and everything you need to enjoy lake Life! Close to everything! Our family loved it here. Couple downsides but not owners fault. No where to put trailer for boat. We should have made arrangements head of time. Stairs up to house are pretty steep but a really good workout 😉. Well worth it to have the access.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this charming character home! It was older but very clean and had everything we needed for a terrific stay. Location was lovely! Quiet and right on the water. We rode our bikes downtown and enjoyed the waterfront deck. Laura was wonderful to us as well and we’d highly recommend this vacation rental. We would stay here again.

This was such a cute and well maintained home right on the lake! Very peaceful and relaxing, clean and updated home. The icing on the cake was how accommodating and friendly the owner was! She made it SO easy from check in, to making sure we were comfortable, and allowing us a later check out. Would recommend 100%!

Great space. Right on North Shore Drive. 10 blocks to the Surf. 1.5 miles to downtown. Fantastic view of the Clear Lake. We used the grill, stove, and fireplace.The Tri Clear Lake Triathlon runners went in front of the house.Only concern. The bathrooms are tight but very adequate.We will reutrn.

We enjoyed our stay at this Clear Lake home. The view and being next to the lake was wonderful! The owners were very easy to communicate with and check-in was easy. The living room upstairs and down, and dining room were very spacious. We ate several meals on the deck overlooking the water. The bedroom upstairs was small with lower ceilings, but we had enough space for sleeping 4 adults and one baby in a pack and play. The 2 bathrooms were adequate but tiny. We loved the cute downtown and shops. Due to Covid, we cooked our meals "at home" and didn't try the restaurants. It was a nice get-away which took the place of a longer family vacation! We enjoyed renting a boat one day, and taking the sunset cruise on the paddleboat one evening.

Really nice house layout in a great location on Clear Lake. My son and I enjoyed fishing from the private dock, and the gift basket upon arrival was unexpected and a really nice touch! Only issue we had was locating the property (may be my issue), but couldn't find address on VRBO and also didn't have phone # to property manager to get address. We found it though and thoroughly enjoyed the stay. Would highly recommend!
