The house was nice and clean. We were not aware that the 3rd bedroom was in the same room as the laundry room. We were disappointed by the algae floating all around the deck. Looks like when the temperatures are high, some algae grows in the lake, The Keys were we stayed was full of it. We could not enjoy the outdoor because of the smell that the algae diffuse too.

We had a great time at this house! We went for a quick fishing trip with my husband and 2 kids. The kids loved being right on the water and dock and the arcade game! The house was well stocked with kitchen gadgets, towels and linens! Thank so much for sharing your home with us!

We had a wonderful stay at Lisa’s house. The place was perfect for our group, with plenty of space for the 4 of us. We enjoyed relaxing outside with a view of the channel. The kitchen was well-stocked for cooking. We would definitely return for another stay, especially with kayaks or equipment for water activities.

My husband and our friends with their newborn all stayed for the Fourth of July and loved it. The house was very well stocked from towels, toiletries, to all things you’d need in the kitchen. The A/C was a must during the hot summer but the back patio was where we spent most afternoons grilling and hanging by the water! Located in north east side of the lake with small stores nearby but only 30 minutes from the larger towns as well! Highly recommend!

We had another great stay. We have been here a few times and came away impressed with the care to small details and the upgrades that have continued. We have now stayed in quite a few vacation rentals and this is probably the most fully equipped we’ve seen. The canal is pretty gooped up so we opted to not use the dock but parking was good with the trailer.

Our fist time to Clearlake Oaks and the property is located in a convenient location to restaurants and stores. The house is very clean; the owner provides us with everything we needed for our stay. The only thing is that we saw ants in one of the bedrooms near the garage. We still give 5 stars for cleanliness because the ants come inside due to hot and dry weather (we have the same issue in L.A. too). Overall, we are very happy and satisfied with our stay.

Great Property!!

I've stayed at many rentals and this was definitely the best stocked house EVER! Games, blankets, baking pans, chairs, everything. My family had a lovely holiday weekend, we were so cozy! And the deck on the canal is so lovely for star gazing and sun bathing. Our dogs were happy and the beach at Clearlake is an 8 minute drive away with a boat launch. We loved our time here. Thanks for everything!

The location is amazing, and the beach volleyball court and dock are perfect for the kids! But the house itself is not ideal for a weekend or longer stay. Some rooms were freezing without heat, the oven/stove did not work and it was Thanksgiving :-( !!! Towel hangers in the bathrooms fell off the wall upon placing towel back on rack. Fuses shut down so that a major portion of the kitchen didn’t work at all. This house needs some help hopefully prior to the next family staying there.

Nice drive from Sac to Clearlake. House was cozy. Lots of kitchen supplies. For the area did not have to worry about bugs getting inside. Bedrooms had TVs. Lots of linen and towels to use. Adequate kitchen space. Very nice fridge. Price should have been less since the view was off. No water in canal to fish.

From the house to the owners to the lake my family and I had one of our best vacations ever. Pete and Lisa were wonderful!!
I would recommend this property, neighborhood, and these nice folks to anyone!

The house worked out nicely and we had a great stay. The only setback was we were unable to use the boat slip as we had planned due to the low-water and lake weeds. Also the ramp down to the dock was slippery and very steep. Thanks goodness the boat launch was close by. overall we enjoyed the house and had a great time.

The property was great and it exceeded our expectations. The communication with the owner was superb. It is located really close to the entrance to Clear Lake, which made it perfect for our kayaks. I must say that I was extremely happy with everything, and felt very comfortable in the home.

I spent a couple of nights with a group of 18 year old boys eager to fish hard. The house was great, clean well appointed and everything worked. It felt bigger than 950 square feet. The deck overlooking the water was clean for the most part but the ashtrays could have been picked up and stashed away prior to arriving. The water level was very low, making navigating the ramp down to the dock difficult but doable. Not much the property owners can do about that. I will definitely look to return once the water levels come up. Great access point to fish the rattlesnake island arm of the lake and throughout the keys themselves. The neighborhood was quiet and pleasant.

We had a wonderful stay here. Great location, really pleasant and clean rooms. The owner was so friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back :)

Beware, this Vacation Rental owner gives the industry a bad name.
We rented for all of March. We left town for a week and advised Lisa the house would be empty as a courtesy. We returned to find that someone had been staying in the house. She admitted her neighbour/property manager had been in to do laundry and take a shower. But it was clear some one had been staying in the house. When we emailed Lisa, she never even replied back to our last email. We had to revert to contacting the police.
The Exterior
The paddle boat on her listing, was flooded, full of weeds and inaccessible. (turns out she doesn’t even own it anymore)
The BBQ, no propane. At first she refused to pay to fill it up, but later changed her mind. The BBQ was in such a state of disrepair that it was dangerous.
Her excuse, she isn’t on site and doesn’t maintain these items.
Then we find out she was there just before we arrived! I would be embarrassed to leave my place in this condition, let alone rent it out!
One dock was full of dead seaweed that had been there so long, weeds were growing out of the pile. I wish I could post photos.
The front yard was overgrown with weeds. Sad thing, this house really matched the area.
The Interior
There were no kitchen chairs for us to sit on. She had a different (used) kitchen table, but only two bar stools that were too high. Her neighbour/property manager found some, but Lisa wouldn’t let her buy them. But she sure was willing to take our money.
Some sheets were so nubby I couldn’t sleep on them. The pillows were so stained, I bought new ones.
Towels were stained and ratty….
Most furniture was old and well used. Her gourmet kitchen cupboards, pieced together from an old kitchen.
I was itchy while staying there, I at first I thought it was adjusting to a new climate, but as soon as we left, the itching went away.
The futon couch smelled of dog, even after washing the cover and throws.
There was a display of fishing rods that hadn’t been dusted in a LONG, LONG time. I think you get the picture by now.
It makes you wonder when you see other five star reviews, then arrive to this! I wasn’t expecting anything really fancy, but I certainly expected items to be in a safe working condition, sanitary bedding and the simple basics like a kitchen table to sit at and most importantly to have my right to privacy respected!!!!

We had a great time and for sure we will be back house is very comfortable I would recommend it to all my friends.this house is vary nice and the lake is good fishing

During the month we stayed at the Cottage on the Water, we found it to be a very comfortable and cozy home away from home. The place is in an extremely quiet area with helpful and friendly neighbors. Very beautiful views off the deck. Outstanding boat dock and lift with quick and easy access to the main lake. Exceptionally prompt response from Lisa with any questions we had during our stay. The place was a quiet and peaceful slice of heaven and we are looking forward to coming back!
