About this property

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

  • Relax and recharge at Oar & Anchor Lakehouse, a cozy lakefront retreat located just blocks from State Beach and only minutes from downtown Clear Lake. 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 you're boating, beach-hopping, or simply slowing down, it’s the 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 accommodates up to 10 guests, with a maximum of 8 adults. The layout is ideal for families and groups traveling together, with a variety of sleeping arrangements 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. There is also a semi-private sleeping space on the main level featuring a twin daybed, providing additional flexibility for guests.

    On the lower level, the third bedroom features a twin-over-full bunk bed and an additional twin bed. The lower-level family room also offers a queen pullout sofa.

    Each bedroom is furnished with soft linens, extra pillows, and thoughtful touches to help 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 firewood can be purchased at local stands or grocery stores. Guests appreciate the comfortable layout, beautiful lake views, and convenient location close to downtown, beaches, and restaurants. With a family-friendly design, modern amenities, and plenty of space to spread out, Oar & Anchor Lakehouse is the perfect place to anchor down and enjoy Clear Lake.

    Guests will have access to the entire home, including use of the dock. The renter is responsible for any damage occurring to any boat or the dock resulting 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.

Our Family had a wonderful time. The view was spectacular! The home was just as pictured. It was beautiful, clean and very comfortable. The bedding and towels smelled like fresh clean laundry and the kitchen had everything we needed and more. My boys loved being able to fish from the dock. They even caught some yellow bass. I loved drinking my coffee every morning in the peaceful sunroom. I texted the host a few times and received immediate friendly responses. The host had a binder with info about the property and the area, which was very kind and helpful. They recommended a few places to eat and they were right, “The Other Place” was a fun place with great food. My family and I were all in agreement how we can’t wait to go back to enjoy the home and Clearlake.
