The property was perfect for my brother, sister, and me! The rooms were clean, cozy, and well appointed. While the bedrooms weren't huge, they were super comfortable—all three of us slept soundly on comfortable mattresses with fresh linens and comforters. We really enjoyed relaxing in the backyard with its idyllic setting right on the pond, complete with plenty of tables and chairs to hang out with friends and family.Our host, Debra, was fantastic! From the time I booked months ago, she was super responsive to all my questions and requests. She was incredibly welcoming and friendly without ever being intrusive. Having traveled a lot for both business and personal reasons before retiring, I can say this was by far the easiest check-in and check-out process I've ever experienced—truly as seamless a stay as you could ask for. Whenever we come back to the region, we'll definitely be staying at the Clear Pond Inn again. Thank you, Debra!

Check in was seamless. Host was very friendly and lovely to talk to - we had several chats while our dogs played. Bailey the dog is fantastic! I loved the bathroom - could happily live in there. We also loved the private beach. The location of the house is very near supermarkets and at least one bar as well as close to the coastline. My favourite part was how the garden was lit up at night - it felt like fairyland!We would love to book another, longer stay to further explore the area.

Oasis Horse Show Get Away

We came with our dog and our daughter, the apartment was beautifully decorated, the grounds looked like a part with a beautiful pond/lake. My dog and my daughter enjoyed the water. There were kayaks and small boats to go out onto the water. The owners and their dog were lovely, met every need, very responsive and our pup loved playing with their pup!! We will be back, so welcoming, so fun, an amazing place to detune after horse showing.

Quiet space to unwind by the pond

We stayed here during a horse show and the property is well stocked to have a comfortable stay. There is a dedicated area in the yard where you can enjoy a campfire, outdoor dining or sitting by the pond. The owner was extremely accommodating after we mentioned the outdoor light outside our window was on all night. She said they kept it on for the guests who need to go out at night and then provided a covering over the outside of the window which was a perfect solution. Would def stay here again.

This was a lovely place to stay, and my family had a very nice, relaxing week. We stayed through the Fourth of July and even saw a few fireworks! My two little kids loved the beach and playing in the huge living room area. Debbie, the host, was very responsive and was at the property off and on throughout the week. There are four units in the house, so there's some interaction with the other guests, who share the beach and yard. But there is plenty of outdoor seating and quite a few boats, so we were never competing for anything with the other people staying. There was a blue green algae bloom in the pond while we were there, so we couldn't go swimming. Nothing the host could do about that, since it's a pretty common risk for fresh water ponds in the summer. We still had fun boating, and there are ocean beaches 10-15 minutes away. So, unfortunate, but it didn't ruin the trip. Overall, great little place to stay. We'd visit again!

Gnome hut

We were expecting more out in the woods, however once on the other side of the fence facing the pond you forgot you were part of a neighborhood. The master bed although comfortable was a challenge getting into. So I lived 2 fairy tales Snow White and the one dwarf, The entrance was stepping down into the cottage I felt (not a complaint, explaining the atmosphere) like Snow White. And the very tall bed made me think AH The Princess and the Pea. It is 10/15 minutes from everything I liked that.

Not enjoyable Memorial Weekend

Check in was ok, we brought 2 dogs disclosure prior to our trip with owner. We understood terms and conditions and cost per night. Owner stated in email I’ll only charge you for one dog. We are fur friendly and own a dog. We are n agreement. Upon check in the price was doubled and she mentions payment by Venmo or cash. That was not mentioned prior to stay. Day 1 we leave for our baseball tournament. Get to the field 20 minutes there owner calls and states my dogs are out of control and barking. I ask if neighbors dogs are barking she claims no. I said my dogs bark when they hear another dog. She says I have to get my dogs now because the other tenants are trying to sleep they were up for a wedding. I mentioned my dogs would stop if other dogs stop barking. She requested I pick up my dogs immediately. I’m 45 minutes away I get to the house and my dogs are not even winning or barking. I ask are you sure it was neighbors dogs the barking. She a states well maybe. I get my dogs after many comments about other tenants how loud they were @ 3am in the driveway. We didn’t appreciate it but we didn’t complain. Now owner says I’ll watch your dogs. We said no we will take care of them. She tried to put everything back to normal but it was too late. Already missed my kids ball game that they won. Night 2 all tenants were up @ 3am which is why my dogs were up. Washer and dryer running all night above us. Not a great place we felt unwanted we left a day early call and TX Deb no answer.

Clear Pond Getaway Inn review

The “Inn” apartment is a finished daylight basement in a residential neighborhood with two small bedrooms (total ~200 sf) one with a queen bed with access just on one side and the other with a set of bunk beds. The 17 by 21 ft living room has another sofa bed. Ceilings are 7’9” high. The toilet closet and shower closet (each 24 sf) are entered as a step up off the living room and down the hall away from the master bedroom. The shower ceiling is low—anyone taller than 6’1” will have a hard time fitting into it. There are a total of five windows four feet above the floor that look up to the shrubs/driveway outside. The kitchen had a toaster, microwave, small oven/range, fridge, and coffee maker. Cookware included just frying pan with a loose handle and a few miscellaneous pots and pans made it tough for cooking. No sponge or scrubby to do dishes (we bought some and left them). No foil or saran wrap was available and salt and pepper were basically the only spices in the cupboard. The apartment was pretty quiet at night during our early March stay, but we could hear someone crossing the floor above us occasionally and we hoped that our TV was not too loud. The living room has an electric fireplace that gave off a pleasant glow but no heat. The spacious backyard adjacent to trail and pond had plenty of seats and would be an enjoyable place to hang out in warmer weather. Internet connection was strong. Overall, we felt that this was pretty expensive (about $170/night when all fees included) for the quality of the space. It was a bit worn, was clean but not immaculate, and we hadn’t expected to be below grade. We never met the owner but access to the space was easy and communication was clear.

Paula, The Inn has always been very adequate for the families that have stayed with us. I am surprised that there were not enough pans for cooking. If you had asked me, I would have gladly provided anything needed. As for the physical structure of the building, my listing shows detailed photos of the interior. After viewing those photos, you should have determined if it was to your liking. It has always been my policy to accurately represent my establishment. Thank you, Debbie

Very good hostess

We were not expecting to have basement lodgings and it was a bit damp and musty. Our hostess did everything she could to improve the situation even offering to switch accommodations with another guest. It was rainy which didn't help. I would suggest replacing carpets. Our stay was fine but disappointing in that the pond had a sign no swimming due to high bacteria level.. the site is beautiful and a great place for kids. Very pretty lake and view . Super nice hostess. Ellen

baby shower weekend

My daughter and grandson stayed the weekend, it was supposed to be my family, however covid kept us in SC. So rather than lose the money, my daughter and grandson took a mini vacation. She told me the place was beautiful, she said she took my grandson out for a hike, and he slept like a log, while she relaxed and read. I wish we could have been there, but my son and daughter in law tested positive 3 days before, and my husband and I on the friday we were to arrive. since we couldn't reschedule and I was going to lose the money, I had my daughter enjoy some quiet with her little boy. another time.

Thanksgiving Getaway

We had an enjoyable time and liked the apartment set up of the space. The bathroom was oddly configured with the toilet and sink in one room and the shower in a separate room next to it. The shower could be problematic for taller people (fortunately we are not, so it was fine). We loved the access to the trail for walking our dog. The beach is lovely as well.
