Although the check in process could have been smoother- the view and the cleanliness of the house made it all worth it! The area was so peaceful. The view was breath taking and simply people watching from the kitchen table was all we needed. We were able to catch two BIG catfish! (16lbs and 11lbs) If you are looking for a little escape from technology and the day to day rush. This Vrbo is highly recommended! The whole time we were discussing when we should come back. Amazing place, highly recommended!!

We had 4 adults, 2 kids & dogs, whom all enjoyed a fun 5-night stay at The Perch. Soda Bay was lovely, quiet and serene, with lots of great nature watching. Look out for the Osprey nest on the telephone pole right out front! The boat lift was not available (owner’s boat occupied) and we thought it would be, but there are whips on one side of the dock, which worked out. Overall, we had a great stay, but only caught one bass fish, despite going out daily. We hope to return to The Perch at Soda Bay one summer. Thank you!

Kids had a blast, fishing and swiming!

Although the fishing wasn’t that great, the stay was wonderful. We ran into a couple of mishaps due to the storm but all was resolved and had a several great days to enjoy the lake. We kayaked, fished, and used the paddle boat that was there. It was a wonderful stay overall. We all had a great time. It was plenty stocked with cookware, utensils, linens and plenty of room for sleeping and seating. The deck was wonderful. We enjoyed the outdoor areas. We would definitely stay again. Thanks Joe for checking in with us as well.

Great family gathering spot! Extremely well equipped kitchen and house. Beautiful outdoor setting and views.

I definitely recommend this property. Amazing deck for the sunsets. Nicely Place.

We will be back! Core memories made. Zero complaints!

Took my family here and everyone had such an amazing time! Home is well cleaned and stocked with everything you may need. The views were amazing, fishing was great, the kayak and paddle boat were super fun additions to the lake house. Would definitely recommend families, friends and others to stay here. Hosts were great and responsive as well!

Nice house, perfect boat dock, the best place for fishing.

We really enjoyed this property, which is a tri-level home with very different living spaces on each floor. The deck in the back is fabulous, as are the views from the top and middle floors. The Perch is well appointed in all regards, e.g. bedding, towels, kitchenware, a BBQ grill, kayaks, a long kitchen table with a fantastic causal bench, and etc. The only minor note I would include in an otherwise splendid long weekend is that the street entry from the main road is a bit narrow and winding. You will likely want to bring your SUV as we had to dodge pick ups, trash trucks and other vehicles getting in and out of the property. Having said that though, we made it through in fine fashion and really enjoyed our time here. We would return for sure, and highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a lake front experience for groups either large or small. Thanks so much!

I usually don't like to leave any negative comments but these are facts about the house. Outside entrance of the house had many spider webs full of mosquitos and the main door doesn't have screen door same goes for back door that connects to back patio. Furniture of the living room is not the same as pictures, the layout and couches had been change with a totally different decor taste. Outside patio had only two umbrellas pictures show three and one was broken on arrival I had to fix it myself with some tape. Recliners seat were not cover like one picture show and the whole patio furniture kayaks and pedal boat were cover with bird poop. So be ready to do some cleaning. Inside the house had some ants problems . Kitchen stove looks very old and air extractor had spider webs. We also found more spider webs in kitchen ceiling and living room . The bed covers they provide are very thin and kind of small for my taste. Not enough cleaning supplies (we couldn't find any pan duster ) like other houses have. Overall is a nice location and we had fun but I feel they should upgrade the pictures if they going to change the furniture and they should also try to do better with outside patio like covering furniture or store cushions so they don't get cover in bird poop. Owners are great very nice people thank you and they response very fast Very nice next door neighbor very friendly ......

This home was beautiful and cozy. This property would be perfect for a Winter or Fall fishing trip. Owners were responsive and helpful.

Since our trip to Tahoe was axed due to the AQI up there we did a relatively last minute trip up to clear lake. The house was perfect for a quick fishing trip. The house itself was exactly as advertised (but bring bug spray in the summer). Super clean and comfortable. Took the kayaks out to the point and caught a couple big bass. Was a lot of fun.

Great spot on the lake. Beautiful views with a wonderful deck overlooking the lake. Includes a boat dock too. Place was clean and enough room for all of us. Neighbors and owner were more than helpful and friendly. I’d definitely go back to this place but at a different time of year when you can actually swim in the lake.

Home was as described, check in was seamless, lake was not as great as we hoped but got 2 out of the 4 days we were there.

What a great week! The dock was perfect for our boat. The house easily accommodated our 2 families. Even the neighbors were great company!

What an amazing family vacation! Owners were extremely accommodating and attentive to our needs. The house is BEAUTIFULLY decorated, stylized, and very clean. Access to the lake is immediate. Just jump off the dock from the diving board, Or proceed gingerly from the dock ladder. Don’t be deterred by the algae, be brave, the water is refreshing! So much fun, we will be back!

GOOD: Place was clean with enough space for all. Kitchen was a bit awkward to use (stove in a hard to use area). Large clean fridge. Had a wonderful time with family. Beautiful sunset views. Comfortable beds. Clean bathrooms. Not enough storage space in Downstairs room with the 4 bunk beds. Deck was too windy too enjoy during our visit. BAD: Headboard not attached and fell hitting head, leaky kitchen sink causing water on the floor, no working blender, coffee pot was not working , only saw 1 hand towel, 2 rolls of TP (1 per bathroom, 1/2 roll of paper towels (per ad, this was to be provided) and not enough forks. Kitchen towels would be a good idea. Also, we brought our boat since a boat dock fitting 2 boats was advertised, however, owners boat was parked there and we had to work around it. Outside grounds were weedy and concrete walkway was uneven. In general, outside not as kept up as inside.

The views were amazing, the deck made for a perfect place to sit and relax, we all remarked how spacious the house was. Thank you so much for making this property available. S. Spencer

This property was everything we hoped for. The location on the lake was perfect for our fishing trip, being right in the middle of the lake. The house was exactly like the pictures. We had a couple questions on day one and the owners were extremely fast in replying and answering our questions. Access to the property is a little narrow if you’re towing a trailer, but we managed. Overall this place is a 10/10. Can’t wait to book it for our next trip.

My family and I were overjoyed with our stay at The Perch. Fireball Joe and Lauren were easy to talk to and accommodating hosts. This house offers amazing views in the living room, dining room and two of the bedrooms. The boat dock is easy to use and access. The driveway leading to the house is quite narrow if you are trailering a boat, just as a heads up. Overall a great experience and look forward to renting this property again in the future.

Great spot on the lake. The host was very responsive, we had a dock and when the weather was good were able to get out on the kayaks and paddle boat.

Perfect house for a serious bass fishing vacation. Everything was awesome and I can't wait to do it again next year.

We had an amazing time at the Perch celebrating my mom’s birthday over the holiday weekend. The owners were very responsive and helpful, they gladly provided local recommendations and property/lake tips. The property is very well manicured and extremely clean which we were thrilled about. They seriously thought of everything in this house! It was well stocked with cleaning supplies, kitchen gadgets and linens- they even had extra propane and wood chopped for the fireplace. The views were incredible and although we didn’t have the best weather, it was nice enjoying coffee on the deck and fishing from the doc. Unfortunately the water was pretty rough so we didn’t get a chance to take the boats out -or catch any fish - but it was amazing just being outdoors none the less. You can tell they took great thought and spent a lot of money on the docks to make them enjoyable! The neighbors were also very welcoming- huge plus! The latch on the sliding glass door was busted/taped shut, so we had to use the outside stairs to access the balcony but that is easily fixed. The only other recommendation we have is the addition to blackout curtains in the upstairs bedrooms. The motion lights form the neighbor’s property light up the whole room all night. If you’re a light sleeper, just remember to pack an eye mask. 10/10 would stay here again! Thanks for having us!!

My family loves this home! Beautiful views and plenty of things for my family to do. Owner was quick to respond to any of my questions. The neighbor is super nice and friendly. My husband had a little chat with the neighbor. They let us know that they were okay with us playing loud music. I posted many pictures on my social media and all my friends want to rent out this home too because of the beautiful views. Almost didn't want to tell them and just keep it as my secret getaway Lol. Overall, we had lots of fun and forsure did not want to leave! Until next time.....

Easy check in, great communication with the owners, beautiful touches and well furnished. We had a great time. We would definitely stay here again.

The place was very nice with great views. Property owners were extremely responsive to needs and made the process easy. I would recommend this place for anyone looking to get away. I went during the cold months so I cannot comment on the lake.

We wanted to introduce the next generation to The Clear Lake bass fishing experience that my brothers and I had always loved in the past. We chose The Perch for it's location and ample waterfront area. This house is fantastic! The relatively recent remodel is beautiful. All of the modern conveniences, and beautifully decorated. The pics on the listing looked incredible, but after actually being there and seeing it in person, it is just so much better than even they can show!! When you pull in to the driveway, the place looks ok, decent but not exciting. Once you walk through that front door though, you will not want to leave. And yes, we caught a ton of Clear Lake largemouth right from the dock and bank! FANTASTIC vacation rental!!

We had a wonderful time in Soda Bay! The house is perfect! With the best fishing spot!! We caught monster catfish out there! House is very clean and no issues at all. Thank you for allowing us to rent your home.

We had a great time! Beautiful view and deck. Easy to access property and owners are very responsive.

This place was a lake dream! Lakefront property with kayaks and pedal boat included. There is a boat dock that we didn't use. Gorgeous panoramic lake views. Very pretty area. House itself had lots of family entertainment: 3 TVs with streaming, board games. Comfy beds. Well appointed kitchen. Very comfortable and nice place!! Only caveats would be not suitable for early walkers- some drop-offs on stairs. Fire season gets smoky- we stayed during a fire. Air quality and visibility were not great. Will get trip insurance next time in case we want to reschedule last minute. Overall a very thoughtfully designed space- you will love it! Arti's Indian Restaurant, Pogo's pizza, Riviera Market, and Clear Lake State park were trip favorites. But honestly just seeing my 4 sons ages 3-13 fish, kayak, and jump off dock diving board made the trip!
