Frozen Tundra

Stayed during the coldest day of the year but enjoyed playing board games and cards with our friends in the house. Separate bedrooms and two baths worked great to have some privacy at night.

Wind stay

Place was very clean and set up met our needs. Was surprised the firepit was on the street side of the house on a busy street but there weren’t many cars and it worked out fine.

Excellent location

This house was so perfect for us. We came to Clear Lake for the car cruise and car show. Location was perfect to walk downtown. We had one other couple with us and with each bedroom and bathrooms being on opposite ends of the house we slept great and did not bother each other. Lovely outdoor area! We would stay again!

Furniture

The stay was great except you need a table with six chairs instead of the high-rise four and the big coffee table in front of the sofa it sleeps 6 so we expected 6 people could sit at a table to eat and play games

Clean and newly renovated

We loved this rental. It was clean. Newly renovated. The owner even reached out to tell us we could check in a little early, which I thought was very thoughtful. He also checked in on us via email through our the stay to make sure all was good. I was very impressed with this rental. It had all of the things we needed like soap, detergent, and shampoo. I will definitely try and rent this house again. It also had lots of great outdoor seating, which we loved and took advantage of.

Cute, clean, and comfortable:-)

This property was clean and comfy. It's close to the lakefront and we walked just a few blocks to get to the beach and to downtown. It was quiet and we slept well there. It's not spacious but it was great space for a trip where you're going to be out and about a lot. The owner was very nice, checking in to see if we needed anything.

Weekend with the Family

Pictures do not do this property justice. The sitting area outside was nice to sit and converse with family. A short walk from downtown/beach. Having 5 adults with two bathrooms was perfect!

Great stay!

The property was conveniently located in walking distance of downtown and had a nice outdoor area with shade and a fire pit. I was impressed with the cleanliness and I thought the property was nicer than the pictures even showed. Beau was very communicative and helpful.
