First time doing a VRBO. Everything went as planned. Place was clean and well kept. Very easy to communicate with the property managers. Good bang for the buck. I would highly recommend booking this one First class all the way around.

Family Fun
We enjoyed another fun few days at your house. Our grandchildren love the upstairs playroom, and the change to twin beds in one of the upstairs bedrooms worked well for our family. All the bedrooms are nice sizes, and we could easily put a blowup mattress in a couple bedrooms if grandchildren wanted to sleep close to their parents. It is fun to be close enough to downtown that even the younger grandchildren can ride their bikes to the downtown attractions. We enjoyed the basket of snacks you left for us, and we appreciate the well stocked kitchen since we cook all our meals at the house. Thanks for another fun getaway. You are great hosts, and I am sure we will be back! Nancy and family

Better than pictures
Hosts were flexible and great communicators. The small things like a basket of snack foods and a toiletry selection were so thoughtful. We cooked, baked and grilled. Kitchen was fully stocked w utensils...much more than I've experienced at other vrbo's. Excellent location. Close to downtown activities and the lake. We could tell bedding and pillows were new. Very clean and cute decor. I strongly recommend.

Charming home close to everything Clear Lake has to offer!
We stayed over the holiday weekend with family and utilized every square inch and amenity this charming property had to offer! Not only was the space perfectly suited to our 7 adult, 3 child family, it came with so many extra little perks that made our stay there absolutely perfect! Our kids had their cousins over to play in the bonus play room (fully stocked with toys, books, and rocking chair), we grilled out with family on the patio, used the sand toys and beach towels at city beach, ate every single snack Doug and Sally left in the welcome basket, and had about two dozen extended family over for yard play and snacks. We ventured downtown at least once daily and always walked because everything is within 5 blocks. Absolutely perfect vacation home for anyone visiting Clear Lake! The hosts made it very clear that if we needed anything at all, just reach out. But because this home was perfectly clean and stocked, we did not need anything at all! We will be back to enjoy it all again next year!

The owners are very thoughtful and include many special touches and useful items to make your stay very pleasant. I rent VRBO's several times a year and this home was set up better than any other rental to make sure the guests had everything they needed.

Clear Lake house near town cente
The nicely furnished house was close to center of town and within easy walking distance to the lake. There is a Tap House across the street but the neighborhood was very quiet. Our trip was focused on bike riding in the area so we spent most of the time riding the trails and bike friendly roads around Clear Lake and Mason City but when our group of 8 were at the house we were usually sitting on the shaded front porch. A large garage was available for storing vehicles and bikes. Everyone thought it was a great place.

Great location!
We really enjoyed our stay at this home. It was a fantastic location - close to restaurants, parks and the beach/splash park. Not only was check in a piece of cake but there was a snack basket waiting for us! It was a welcome surprise to find a highchair, pack and play, kids toys (and even a toddler bed corner) were already at the house for our use - made traveling with two under two easier! We would definitely recommend this home and will plan to stay again when we're in the area next!

Great weekend getaway!
This was a great place to stay - lots of space for the little ones to ride bikes and play outdoors. We were able to sit and relax on the patio while watching them. The basement and garage provided great options in case the weather hadn't cooperated. The kids also enjoyed the playroom upstairs! The welcome basket was a nice surprise and we enjoyed the snacks. The owners have done a great job decorating and furnishing this house and making sure we enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and had everything we needed. We enjoyed being able to walk to the beach and the little ones enjoyed being able to ride their bikes to the beach. Our granddaughter declared this "our Clear Lake house". We would definitely stay here again! Thanks.

This is what a vacation rental should be - clean, comfortable and easy. I highly recommend this property. We used it as home base for our daughters wedding at Diamond Oaks just north of Clear Lake. It allowed us to have my parents and my wife’s parents stay with us.
