Very clean house, great experience
5.0 / 5.0
Our kids enjoyed playing with the toys at the house after a day at the beach, which was within walking distance. We brought our own beach towels and chairs but didn’t need to since the owners provide them. Our family had a s’mores night at the outdoor fire pit. This was our third stay at this property and we’ll be back again.

Loved our getaway to Clear Lake and really enjoyed staying at Third & Surf. This cute cottage is close to the city park, beach, Main Street, and the Surf. The neighborhood is quiet and walking is very enjoyable.

We stayed over the 4th of July and it was the perfect location for downtown activities and a few blocks to the lake to watch the fireworks. The farmers market on Saturdays is also just a few steps away. Will definitely stay again

From the moment we walked through the door, we were treated to fun and whimsical decor and amenities. There was literature available about the area, as well as toys for my 6-year-old grandson, games and bikes for the teens, and a fire pit and gazebo, where the adults could relax. I wish there were more stars to give - our stay was truly a 10!

WOW!! What a fun little spot to get away with friends! We attended a concert at the Surf which was an easy walk. Loved that convenience. We used the grill and had a fabulous dinner. It was just perfect! Now looking forward to bringing our family this summer for a fun and relaxing weekend. 10/10 recommend!

We were in town for a concert at The Surf and this house was the best location for us to walk right over. The beds and furniture were super comfortable and the bedding smelled so clean. It’s decorated so cute and felt very welcoming! The hosts were very friendly and accommodating as well. We will for sure stay here again.

We had a girls weekend and stayed here! It was so clean and cute! We had plenty of room to spread out and have places to sleep. It was a perfect location to walk up to Harvest Fest. We already have plans to come again!

This was our second stay at 3rd and Surf. We enjoy the layout of the home and find it truly meets our needs for a relaxing girls weekend. The rental is easy walking distance to town or a walk by the lake. The yard and gazebo were both wonderful places to sit and take in the beautiful sunny weekend with life-long friends and family. We will definitely stay another time.

We were there on one of the hottest days of the year but getting on/in the water made all difference. We felt right at home in the well stocked kitchen and having the grill available was great.

Great property. Had more to offer than we took advantage of. If you are doing an event at the Surf like we were its a perfect location, can walk easily to it. Quiet neighborhood and great beds.

My husband and my sister stayed at this great rental home at the end of July. It is clean, well appointed with enough space to spread out. We loved the proximity to the Surf Ballroom, the lake and the park/stores. We walked to everything, including the Saturday outdoor market near the Surf ballroom. Beds were comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed. Liked having a garage to park our car in. In the garage were beach chairs, inflatables, pool noodles, a stroller, bikes to ride and plenty of firewood for the outdoor firepit. We will definitely rebook for another stay in Clear Lake.
