Serene 3-bedroom house with AC in Clear Lake

10/10 Excellent

"This house is neat as can be. Absolutely everything you need and very nicely appointed. Well located with easy access to everything. The three bedrooms are sizable. Two bedrooms up stairs with a very small but well equipped bathroom. The stairs are rather steep as they tended to be in houses of that age, but not a problem. The main floor bedroom is very nice as is the main floor bath. The back screened in porch was a blessing for sitting out in the evening and the fenced in backyard was very well maintained and clean - the dogs loved it!The neighbors were friendly too!"

This charming house for six puts you at the heart of the action.

10/10 Excellent

"We had the nicest time visiting our college daughter in the comfort of this beautiful, quaint home. The attention to detail is incredible! We loved all the decor and thoughtful accommodations. We would stay here again in a heartbeat! Not to mention it’s close location to downtown Clear Lake and amazing lakeside views!"
