We stayed in November, when it was super cold, and the house was warm, clean and perfect for us to stay. Thank you!! ##### Chrissy M. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Erica B. 27 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Walking Distance to The Surf Check in was easy. Location was key for this stay! We came to town to see a concert at the Surf Ballroom. The place was clean and stocked with the basic needs for our stay. We were able to easily walk to the surf within 5 minutes. The place was on the cozy side, but there was only 3 of us, so it fit our needs. The place was nicely decorated and very clean. We would stay again! ##### Erica B. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Eric O. 25 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Great for a Quick Stay I brought my wife and two children along with me for TRI Clear Lake. This property met our expectations in terms of being a quality place to stay. The surrounding neighborhood left a lot to be desired. A train rolled through around 3AM both nights of our stay honking it's horn which was extremely inconvenient. It was close to where we needed to get to for the race start and overall a good experience. ##### Eric O. Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Chase W. 22 Aug 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Review The bathroom had active mold growing on the ceiling. Found a lot of dead bugs throughout the house ##### Chase W.
