The accommodations were perfect. All of the bedrooms were spacious with very comfortable beds. Fabulous updated kitchen. Robert, the owner made sure we had everything we needed at the house. He checked in with us a couple times during our stay to make sure everything was as promised. The property manager Monique, was fabulous. She was quick to respond to any questions we had and did anything she could to make sure our stay was enjoyable as possible. We would definitely consider staying at Clear Water Shores again. ##### Michael G. Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Max H.

The property is stunning and has every amenity you need for little piece of paradise. Beautiful scenary, immaculate condition, upgraded to the latest and greatest interior and exterior designs. Super clean and super fun! Very close to Stoney Lonesome Offroad park. However, what made this destination special were the owners, the Ekman's and the property manage Monique. The nicest most accommodating hosts we have ever worked with in the 18 years we have been booking through VRBO. ##### Max H.

My family and I are frequent visitors to Smith Lake and have stayed in over 12 different homes via VRBO. Clearwater Shores is now our favorite as it has a great location in deep water and is wonderfully appointed; with everything from beach towels, to charcoal, to portable speakers. The game room (pool table, air hockey, Golden Tee, Galaga & Ms. Pac Man) was fun for everyone from the teenagers to the 50 year old kids. Bob and Karen are the greatest hosts on Smith Lake. Southern hospitality is their goal and they have more than achieved it. ##### Jason M. Stayed 8 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John B.

The house is beautifully furnished and made everyone feel welcome and comfortable. There were plenty of games for the kids to play and the arcade was a blast! The views are absolutely incredible from sunrise to sunset. The owners are friendly and were accommodating from the moment we booked the property. They answered any questions and gave recommendations to make our trip even more pleasant. If you’re looking for a place to get away, relax, and enjoy beautiful Smith Lake look no further, Clearwater Shores is the place for you. ##### John B.

Our visit to Smith Lake did not disappoint. The house and landscaping were immaculate. Also, our family loved all of the places to sit outside and enjoy the scenery. The boat dock was accommodating and perfect for our boat. It was nice to be able to leave it under a roof protected. The owners were so kind and responded immediately. The house was so nice with lots of extras to make our trip more comfortable. We will definitely return again and hope to make it an annual trip. Thank you! ##### Amanda F.

The house is clean, beautiful, and well-maintained. Three bedrooms upstairs, master on the main level, and another bedroom in the lower level is a great layout. We had such a great time with the game room. There was so much to do between the arcades, air hockey, pool table, and cornhole. And of course, jumping and swimming off the dock. It was great having the dock to tie up the boat we rented. Our kids did hours and hours of tubing. Smith Lake water is clean and beautiful. We stayed five nights in June, but I think next time we will stay seven. We had such a great time! Looking forward to coming back next summer!! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Garrett W. Jul 12, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Location Location This was our first time to visit Smith Lake. Our family had a great time at Clearwater shores for our annual get together! We stayed during the 4th of July, and were 10 minute boat rides to two different firework shows. The property was very nice, with great views of the lake. The rooms are large and you will appreciate the space. We have smaller kids and they loved the game room, along with a safe driveway in the front of the home to ride their bikes back and forth. Bob was very accommodating and made us feel welcome from when we first booked. You can really tell the Ekman’s take pride in their home. We hope to be back soon! ##### Garrett W.
