3rd and Surf- 2 blocks from the lake, 1 block from the Legendary Surf Ballroom

This house is in the heart of downtown Clear Lake where you can meet most of your needs with a short walk. Spend time in the large back yard, in the gazebo, and feel free to park your car in the garage.
This newly updated home has a long driveway for parking. There are two bedrooms, both queens, and a queen sofa sleeper in the family room to comfortably sleep 6. Washer and dryer provided and free to use. Shower and bath, perfect for kiddos after a long day at the beach.

I grew up in CL and the previous owners of this house were members of our church and they let our family use their garden that was in their back yard. Many memories of weeding and harvesting veggies in the garden!

Comfortable, clean house in great location
Our kids enjoyed playing with the toys at the house after a day at the beach, which was within walking distance. We brought our own beach towels and chairs but didn’t need to since the owners provide them. Our family had a s’mores night at the outdoor fire pit. This was our third stay at this property and we’ll be back again.

We stayed over the 4th of July and it was the perfect location for downtown activities and a few blocks to the lake to watch the fireworks. The farmers market on Saturdays is also just a few steps away. Will definitely stay again

Loved it!
From the moment we walked through the door, we were treated to fun and whimsical decor and amenities. There was literature available about the area, as well as toys for my 6-year-old grandson, games and bikes for the teens, and a fire pit and gazebo, where the adults could relax. I wish there were more stars to give - our stay was truly a 10!

We were in town for a concert at The Surf and this house was the best location for us to walk right over. The beds and furniture were super comfortable and the bedding smelled so clean. It’s decorated so cute and felt very welcoming! The hosts were very friendly and accommodating as well. We will for sure stay here again.
