We love to be outside! We ate our meals in one outside area (and used the grill) and had evening fires in the other outside area. The inside was just as perfect. Great kitchen with everything we needed to make meals, nice to have two bathrooms as we had 6 adults for a couple of days and comfortable beds. Waking distance to downtown, the lake and swimming area. We loved everything about this place. Highly recommend!

We loved our cottage! It had everything we needed plus was close to the beach. Six-year-old grandson had a ball, especially when we made s’mores at the fire pit. We would love to stay again.

Very clean, comfortable and nice touches to make it comfortable. Bedrooms are spaced apart which is nice for privacy and convenient when each guest may have different sleeping hours. Two outside patio areas and a few blocks to the lake

Cottage Daze is as quant as the pictures. It is so clean and comfortable. The outside sitting areas are perfect for coffee in the morning or s'mores by the fire in the evening. A very convenient walk to the beach, restaurants and shopping. We will definitely rent this darling cottage in the future.

Very clean and comfortable

The property exceeded our expectations. It is really well maintained and clean. There were a lot of small touches we didn't expect, like firewood ready to use in the fire pit and toys to play with at the beach. Beau was very attentive and checked in with us proactively to make sure we were doing well. We would stay here again.

Enjoyed our stay

Well stocked with necessary items and plenty of towels. Really nice to supply little details to make it more convenient. Little fire pit was really great. Convenient to walk downtown or to the lake which we did every day. Description was exactly what it was and Beau was great with communication. We had no problems with anything there. Thanks!

Excellent location

This house was so perfect for us. We came to Clear Lake for the car cruise and car show. Location was perfect to walk downtown. We had one other couple with us and with each bedroom and bathrooms being on opposite ends of the house we slept great and did not bother each other. Lovely outdoor area! We would stay again!

Furniture

The stay was great except you need a table with six chairs instead of the high-rise four and the big coffee table in front of the sofa it sleeps 6 so we expected 6 people could sit at a table to eat and play games

Clean and newly renovated

We loved this rental. It was clean. Newly renovated. The owner even reached out to tell us we could check in a little early, which I thought was very thoughtful. He also checked in on us via email through our the stay to make sure all was good. I was very impressed with this rental. It had all of the things we needed like soap, detergent, and shampoo. I will definitely try and rent this house again. It also had lots of great outdoor seating, which we loved and took advantage of.
