Great location! We loved having the bikes available to ride around the lake and really enjoyed being able to use the kayaks. It was a wonderful way to explore Clear Lake and enjoy the beautiful surroundings with the gardens right across the street. We had a great stay!

Great communication and a nice place to stay!

The seller was great at communicating which is always nice. The location is easy to find and located near enough to a lot that Clear Lake has to offer (especially with the free e-bikes). This was a pleasant experience all around.

Perfect Spot

We made a long weekend out of our friends getting married and it was the perfect spot for all the activities. We spent time, at the Gardens, Downtown, and the Surf District. The Electric Bikes were an awesome perk that we took advantage of to do our daytime exploring.

We enjoyed our second trip to Clear Lake. This property was clean and ready to go! The e-bikes were fun to use to go on trips downtown. It was nice to have the city gardens right across the street to visit on a quiet morning.
