About this property

Home on the Water with Beautiful Lake View and Private Dock

This home on the lake offers large living spaces for guests to enjoy. There is a living room with windows to the lake, an oversized dining room with a lake view and a large table around which to gather for meals and games. There is a lower level family room and walk out to deck.

A new deck to the lake, and a private dock will enhance your enjoyment of the sailboat races taking place Saturdays and Sundays during the summer. A boat lift is not included with the property. However, you can arrange to have one put in during your stay. You can ride your bike around our lake for a 14 mile tour of homes, lake views and wild life.

The Historic Surf Ballroom is ten blocks away. You can catch live entertainment almost every weekend at the Surf, or take a tour of the ballroom and see where Buddy Holly, JP Richardson and the Big Bopper played their last concert.

City Park in Clear Lake is home to concerts and art shows, wooden boat shows and antique car shows. There is always something fun to do in Clear Lake!

a perfect spot to be on the lake with lake access and a dock.
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.

Great location!
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!

Family vacation
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.

About the host

Hosted by Owner/Property Manager

Host profile image
My husband, Mark and I purchased this home at the same time we bought our family home on Clear Lake. We have lived in Clear Lake 32 years, 19 years on the lake. We have three grown children and two grandchildren, all of whom will tell you there is no place better than Clear Lake in the summer!

Why they chose this property

We love Clear Lake and enjoy having our extended family visit us often. When we are not using this home for our guests, we make it available for others to use when they come to Clear Lake.

What makes this property unique

This home has a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere. We often watch the sailboat races on the weekend from the deck. The fishing is good off the private dock of this home.
