Cozy Home on Clear Lake Minutes from Downtown/City Beach & State Beach

Relax and recharge at Oar & Anchor Lakehouse, a cozy house on the lake located between Clear Lake’s two beaches and minutes from downtown. Enjoy a bright, comfortable space with a full kitchen and plenty of room to gather. Sip coffee on one of three decks, grill with a view or unwind by the fire pit. Whether boating, beach-hopping or simply slowing down, it’s your perfect Clear Lake getaway.

Inside, you’ll find a welcoming layout designed for easy lake living. The home features a fully stocked kitchen, spacious living and dining areas, Wi-Fi and smart TVs.

The home comfortably sleeps larger groups and families across multiple levels. The upper level includes a primary suite with a king bed and private bath, plus a second bedroom with a queen bed and a full bathroom just across the hall. On the lower level, the third bedroom features a twin-over-full bunk, an additional twin bed and a twin trundle — perfect for kids or shared space. The lower-level family room offers two more sleeping options with a full-size futon and a queen pullout, along with a second living area ideal for games or relaxing.

Each bedroom is furnished with soft linens, extra pillows and thoughtful touches to make you feel at home. Towels and hair-dryers are provided along with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash.

The fire pit is available for your enjoyment, and wood can be purchased at local stands or grocery stores. Guests appreciate the comfortable layout, beautiful views and convenient location close to downtown, beaches and restaurants. With a family-friendly design, modern amenities and plenty of space for everyone, Oar & Anchor Lakehouse is the perfect place to anchor down and enjoy Clear Lake.

Guests will have access to the entire home with use of the dock. The renter is responsible for any damage occurring to any boat or the dock that results from tying up to the dock structure. No overnight boat parking is allowed. There is space to park a trailered boat in the driveway.

The house was so clean and fresh. The layout is gorgeous. The kitchen was top notch from the hidden refrigerator and dishwasher to the amazing gas stove. The dining room has the most breath taking view for coffee. Truly each floor of this home had a room with a view of the lake and a balconyto go with it. This was perfect for a ladies last minute getaway to recharge for the upcoming holidays, by the end of the weekend we were moved into summer 2026 plans so we can do it again with the whole family.
