Bayside Retreat! Fish and cook your fresh catch!

What an adventurous place to gather and vacation! After a fun day around the water, enjoy watching the evening sky change to gorgeous sunset colors. There is also a picnic table and grill under the house along with the swing for your enjoyment.

The kitchen was top quality appliances, amount of fishing supplies didn’t have to pack our own, beds were comfortable, overall cleanliness of the place was immaculate. By far one of our favorite places we have ever stayed at. We were very satisfied. The linen was overstocked. There was extra fans for white noise. And the view was immaculate. It was definitely family oriented, and our family will be back.

The home was very clean and nicely decorated with everything we needed for our stay. The highlight of the stay was the outdoor space. We spent all our free time on the dock drinking coffee or wine and looking at the lake. It was a great space for 5 adults who were in town for a wedding. Many of the reviews talked about the number of stairs in the unit. We are all in our mid sixties and had no problems at all with the stairs.

Highly recommend this property!

This is a beautiful house on Clear Lake with an amazing view! We traveled to Houston and League City for new patient appointments at the MD Anderson locations in both cities. We chose this house hoping for peace and tranquility in between visits and it delivered!!! The house was spotless and felt like home immediately. There are multiple decks to enjoy the view and breeze off the water. We will definitely stay here for my MDA visit in September. Thank you!!

One of our favorites!

The house was immaculate when we arrived! The views from the multiple decks were gorgeous! All beds comfortable and bedding super soft. Kitchen had top of the line appliances. Plenty of comfortable furniture for game night or watching a movie. All the extra touches were appreciated- from the towels on trays with shells, to large shampoo, conditioner and body wash in both showers, liquid soaps at all sinks, and accessible cleaning products so we could keep the space neat during the week. We visit the area often and will definitely plan to stay here again!

Good experience!

The place is very nice! Clean, good location, quiet! As some other reviews have stated—there are a lot of stairs! We had some issues—keypad to garage didn’t work, breaker tripping affecting internet & hot water—HOWEVER—manager & owner were quick to respond & remedied the issues quickly! Definitely read amenities before going shopping—they are upfront about it, but there is no foil, baggies, etc. I would suggest some cards, dice & another game or two, but overall good experience! Fishing was fun & kitchen was stocked with great dishware, pans, etc!

Beautiful property just a few problems.

We loved the location and the peacefulness of the harbor. The property has many steps. Steps to get to main level. Steps to get to 2 spare bedrooms. Steps from that level to master bedroom and then steps from master bedroom to bathroom. House was clean and well equipped. We had a couple of problems but they did quickly send a repairman to take care of them. The fan in the master bathroom is crazy loud and needs attended to and the master bath mirror is an antique but not useful as a mirror to see. Just a few tweaks and this could be a total gem.The steps were okay for us but many would have a problem. It was a good workout for our legs. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again with just a few suggestions for the next guests.
