Great Stay for a Tournament Weekend

My friend and I stayed in this home when we were visiting Clearlake for a bass tournament. Great location near multiple boat launches and the dock makes it super easy to maximize your time fishing. There is also plenty of parking for a boat and vehicles. Beds were very comfortable and the home was clean.

Nice house, great for skiing and fishing

The pictures represent the house well, it is a nice rancher with a pleasant back yard and a functional dock for the ski boat we rented from Disneys in downtown Lakeport. It was very fun to roll out of bed, have some breakfast and jump right on the boat. Most dinners we boated to the public piers in Lakeport and walked to a restaurant. The channel was weed free, and easy to turn around in. My son caught a couple of 14" bass right off of the dock in the back yard. My 3 teenagers and I had a great 5 day visit.

Very Nice Place

Let me say at the start...I am a very difficult to plz traveler. I tend to stay in high in hotels and since I am in a service industry myself...I like stellar service. U can say it, yes I'm a spoiled punk. Now that is out of the way, This is my first VRBO stay. The house is close to everything (if ur fishing), and is large and spacious. No it isn't the 4 Seasons but everything was clean, well maintained, and comfy. I prefer to have a better system to contact the owner besides email and through VRBO but that has nothing to do with the home. The owner was very responsive and very accommodating. If ur looking for a comfortable stay, close to everything for fishing, spacious, well maintained, in a quiet neighborhood...This place is it.

Disappointing

House not clean as should be or stated. Mice feces in kitchen draws along with chewed condiments packages. Steps leading outside are loose bricks that is dangerous. Doubt up to code. Pans old and dirty, floors not clean, yards not maintained as stated. Personal items in all draws like someone is living there, toasted not cleaned. Rug in living room with a love seat not sofa was frayed and dirty. BBQ Not useable due do to being so filthy. That’s just a few concerns, photos to substantiate. With that said the actual house set up is nice. Perfect if you have a pet minus the harmful weeds. All appliances top notch. With a better cleaning practice this would be a fabulous stay. Unfortunately there are hundreds of fly - purchased a flyswatter. Having to park in carport next to old boat was tight. If lake every comes back to a higher point and less stinky algae I would recommend

Fishing trip

We have stayed at many Home away and VRBO rentals. We liked the dock and the deck outside to have dinner and fish. When we left town we had left the directions at home, we yried calling Lucia and texting to find out information only to get a response 40 min after check in.We understood the house had newly been remodeled and outside was planed for next year,but there were no blinds or drapes on anything besides in the bed rooms. So the kitchen and living room are open for anyone to look in. There was personal items through out the house, struck us as odd only because it was not stated that this was the owner residence but as a vacation rental. If it is not your full time residence the clothes and shoes in the rooms along with the litter boxes and dog collars should be removed. We paid the neighbor 2 doors down to mow the lawn because it was 10 inches high in the back yard and wasn't very appealing to sit outside and look at, don't mind the bugs because of it. If you do not mind a family leaving their clothes shoes and pet supplies (along with personal food) then this is the place for you but we didn't feel at home and I will ask each rental from this point on if it is a personal residence.

Clearlake Channel property

While the house itself was in very good condition on the inside, the outside needed maintenance and the grounds were very unkempt and basically unusable. The grass was long, the patio area was dirty with a lot of debris, the deck was old and deteriorating. The "barbecue" that was advertised was a tiny Weber grill which was encrusted with spider webs. There was no TV, which was as advertised, however the projection DVD player worked sporadically and poorly at best. There was a DVD player in the master bedroom, however, it would not play any of the DVDs that were in the house, save for Shrek 2. There was no blind on the back sliding door which allowed the sun in and made the house unbearably hot in the daytime. Basically, this could be a very nice place if a little time and effort was put into it. When you go on vacation, you want to go somewhere that is at least as nice as the place you are leaving. There are many properties around, granted owner occupied, that were extremely nice which point out this place's glaring deficiencies. I would definitely not recommend this property. Sorry.

Owner difficult to work with

The outside had cobwebs and dirt all over. The dock was not accessible. The inside vent was broken and a piece hanging down. There were ants all over the kitchen. Paint was peeling off in one of the rooms. The owner Lucia was in Italy and was angry when we called the office. There was no area to upload the drivers license of the individuals staying in the house. Tito gave me an email and told me to send them there. Lucia was complaining to me in text that I should not have talked to Tito because he was the part time maintenance guy. Tito was helpful and gave me information. I had no idea he was the maintenance man. Lucia threatened to cancel the reservation and charge us the money if he didn't get the ID's right away. I told him they were already sent. I ended up sending them again by text to him and he was angry about that. An owner should not treat his guests this way and if he is out of the country he should have someone there to take care of the property and help the guests.

It was a nice stay.

The property was clean and well maintained. Backyard grass could use a little watering but still was nice. Visiting could have been more flexible but I understand that they don’t want to disturb the neighbors, but that is a case by case situation. Other than that my family enjoyed themselves and the owners were accommodating.

Some disappointments

When we arrived the house had not been cleaned or the linens changed. Thankfully the owners did get someone to come that evening and clean and change the linens. They also gave back the cleaning charges. Some parts of the house were just like the pictures and some parts were not. The kitchen and bedroom were but the front room and outside area were a disappointment. Stepping outside into the back yard was dangerous because there was not steps. The nice table, chairs and umbrella on the patio were gone and a picnic table in their place. The lawn and bushes had not been taken care of. Eventually the lawn was mowed and the front bushes next to the driveway were done. The gardeners were very polite but maybe they need to be doing more. It wasn't the owners fault but the canal was very bad because the lake was down. The street is poorly maintained. We feel the price we paid was too high for what we received. I'm sure the owners are nice people and doing their best, but in some areas there needs to be improvement. We did have a restful vacation. We had many meals in the surrounding area and were very please.

Nice house, great location, and wonderful owner

I made a big mistake when booking the house but the owner was extremely helpful and understanding. I'm too embarrassed to add much detail but I will say the owner went beyond what I expected to fix it. The house was very clean with a nice backyard. The location is great--downtown is close and the casino is even closer. I would stay here again.
