Highly recommend. The owners were super friendly and helpful and gave us local recommendations. The attention to detail in their home was beyond all expectations. It is beautifully decorated and impeccably clean. A must stay in Clear Lake for a relaxing time and everything you need. Thank you!

Cozy, walkable, and full of thoughtful details: coffee and tea choices, blankets, treats, and great local recommendations.

Surf and Serenity is a cozy place within walking distance of restaurants, the lake, and downtown. The house was very clean and comfortable with lots of details to make the stay better: lots of coffee and tea choices, cozy blankets to cuddle in, treats left for us, and great instructions and local recommendations. I especially liked listening to their albums on the turntable. My only negative is that we were there in the winter and some places were closed, so be sure to check in advance to make sure places are open.

Beautiful home and walkable to downtown and the lake. Very comfortable stay.
