Weekend with the Family

Pictures do not do this property justice. The sitting area outside was nice to sit and converse with family. A short walk from downtown/beach. Having 5 adults with two bathrooms was perfect!

Furniture

The stay was great except you need a table with six chairs instead of the high-rise four and the big coffee table in front of the sofa it sleeps 6 so we expected 6 people could sit at a table to eat and play games

Cottage Daze is as quant as the pictures. It is so clean and comfortable. The outside sitting areas are perfect for coffee in the morning or s'mores by the fire in the evening. A very convenient walk to the beach, restaurants and shopping. We will definitely rent this darling cottage in the future.

Very clean and comfortable

The property exceeded our expectations. It is really well maintained and clean. There were a lot of small touches we didn't expect, like firewood ready to use in the fire pit and toys to play with at the beach. Beau was very attentive and checked in with us proactively to make sure we were doing well. We would stay here again.

Enjoyed our stay

Well stocked with necessary items and plenty of towels. Really nice to supply little details to make it more convenient. Little fire pit was really great. Convenient to walk downtown or to the lake which we did every day. Description was exactly what it was and Beau was great with communication. We had no problems with anything there. Thanks!

Stayed during the coldest day of the year but enjoyed playing board games and cards with our friends in the house. Separate bedrooms and two baths worked great to have some privacy at night.

Excellent location

This house was so perfect for us. We came to Clear Lake for the car cruise and car show. Location was perfect to walk downtown. We had one other couple with us and with each bedroom and bathrooms being on opposite ends of the house we slept great and did not bother each other. Lovely outdoor area! We would stay again!

Clean and newly renovated

We loved this rental. It was clean. Newly renovated. The owner even reached out to tell us we could check in a little early, which I thought was very thoughtful. He also checked in on us via email through our the stay to make sure all was good. I was very impressed with this rental. It had all of the things we needed like soap, detergent, and shampoo. I will definitely try and rent this house again. It also had lots of great outdoor seating, which we loved and took advantage of.

Cute, clean, and comfortable:-)

This property was clean and comfy. It's close to the lakefront and we walked just a few blocks to get to the beach and to downtown. It was quiet and we slept well there. It's not spacious but it was great space for a trip where you're going to be out and about a lot. The owner was very nice, checking in to see if we needed anything.
