Upstairs has a King Bedroom, Queen Bedroom & Nice Bathroom. It is 200 steps to the infamous SURF BALLROOM & also some restaurants & Bars. Just a short 4 block walk to downtown Clear Lake City Park, City Beach & Main Street. There is a cute front porch with Fire Pit along with a backyard with Grill and seating area. Parking pad in the Back and also free on street in the front.
You will have the front yard fire pit along with a private back yard seating area. Please note that the Surf District is undergoing some really exciting changes to the area. They are building a music enrichment center (Summer 2024) and also a boutique hotel across from our duplex (Summer 2025) It is a great project but please note there may be some construction/ detours around this part of town!! Lots happening in this area with great little restaurants and farmers market just steps from our place!

My second time renting here and it was another great experience. Weather was not cooperating with our fishing but we had a great time relaxing and hanging out at the house. Perfect location, clean, well equipped…a gem.
